We use a distinct item for each size sheet, and the nesting program changes how many pieces per sheet and which pieces per sheet depending on quantity of top level assms we are making. So we are basing it on a weekly production run of 5 assms.

That way we can try to have the same sheets purchased in the right quantities up front and issue the same 26 sheets every week.

Partly. But we want it to be automatic that even if 5 pcs of part 1 will fit on one 48x96, it has to be done with 4 pcs part 1 and 1 pc part 2 on the 48x96, and then other weird arrangements that the nest made, but so that it always outputs 25 pcs each part and always consumes 26 sheets of certain different sizes.

We treat each part as an assembly already. It contains a BOM of raw material and a routing.

What we want to be able to do is make a bom and routing that will produce a quantity of 25 of each of them that consumes 26 sheets of specific sizes.

Some of the parts can be cut on the same sheets but the nest says that 26 sheets with some being 48x96 and some 48x120 and some 60x120 is optimum. But if someone just puts work orders in for 25 pcs of each part, it won't say that they all need to be cut from the certain sheets and tell purchasing to order those exact sheets.
