Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
One item Rope. it comes in by the foot sale, by the roll of 200', 400' 600' and 1200'
some customers it matters length, some it doesn't, we like to know how many feet with have in overall inventory. (I wont even go into the different colours for the same rope)
We have an item number for each item.
might be nice to have one item number with a "sub" items of lengths under it.

Hello Jerome,
You could create two Products: one called Rope Roll, this product you will use for purchasing the roll and track Quantity on Hand.
Then you need a product called Rope this will be for the individual lengths and you will need to add the Attrbute: Length and Attribute Values: 200', 400', 600', and 1200'.
Then I would create a Bill of Materials for each of the Variants. In the BOM set Component Product to Rope Roll and the QTY to 200, 400, 600, and 1200. If you have lots of color's it will be easier to import in the BOM's.
You could also create a Route on the Product to auto make a Manufacturing Order whenever the product sells or if you cut the rope in batches you can create the MO's manually.
This way you will always see your Total QOH for the Rope Roll.
