Regarding catalog configuration

Varun Bhansaly
I have been planning to implement ofbiz for fabrication industry.
Here the raw materials involved in fabricating a window are measured in
terms of metres, some even in 'tube' (for foam).

For example, to fabricate a 60 cm x 100cm window, some of the raw materials
required will be -
1. "Inner Frame 5 Chambers 83 mm" - 2.9 m
2. "Frame 5 Chambers, 65 mm" - 3.2 m
3. "Reinforcement for Frame" - 1m
4. "Foam" - 0.5 tube

I am slightly confused as to how to configure raw materials in the catalog
and the BOM to ensure correct inventory levels.

If someone has some ideas/ guidance, please do share.

Another challenging part is defining the BOM for this fabricated window,
because for each window quantity of raw materials involved will vary.
If any one has any suggestion or experience of such an implementation,
please do share.
