Hi,

I've solved a similar problem. A bit more complicated, slitting coil into multiple widths, weights and lengths. No way to join. That was custom based around MRP Unbuild but a lot of the concepts still apply. Unbuild is still potentially an option.

But in basic terms
1. Use Lot tracking.
2. Use orderpoints or similar. Now for the automatic reorder you might want some custom code for reordering. In pseudocode.
a.

counters = [[lot qty], [lot qty]]
for finished_good in finished_goods.sorted(length desc):
  find lot raw material that can handle
  if found decrement counter.
  if not found: buy some, break

b. 
if all lots < <some_length>: order

c. Rule of thumb orderpoint.
I hold 3 rolls. so 3 x max length of finished as total rolls means I need to order some more. Or whatever suites. It will be easiest that way.

Hello,

thank you for all the answers.I guess I have to test this thoroughly. My worry is generally this: let's say I have 2 lots/rolls each with 50m raw cable remaining. I need to produce 100m final cable. I think the system would consider I have enough of raw cable for this. Because that would work for certain scenarios. Imagine you need 100kg of something to prdouce something else. If you have 2 lots each with 50kg you're good to go - you just combine 50kg from each. Similarily if it was pieces. All these can be joined / added. I am talking about scenario where partial residual amounts cannot be added together to create a larger piece / amount.

Hope I am making myself clear. Best regards
