Using MRP for Metal Fabrication (V18) - bending, powder coating, consume whole sheets, etc

Question

Hi, I am part of a metal fabrication company and I've been running into some issues trying to get Odoo setup for our shop. We utilize raw sheet metal to nest out parts. These parts are cut and then may need other operations (bending/powder coating/etc.). How can I best manage BOMs/MOs for the individual parts while also consuming whole sheets from inventory when cutting a nest?

*Create a BOM for the Nest*
Treat the full sheet and all parts cut from it as one BOM. Use the *sheet metal as the main material*.

*Use By-Products*
Add the individual *cut parts as by-products*, so producing one nest uses 1 sheet and gives you all the parts.

*Track Operations*
For each part (like brackets or panels), create *routing steps* for bending, welding, powder coating, etc.

*Inventory*
Track full sheets in inventory. After cutting, Odoo moves the parts into stock automatically.
