We are wondering if odoo allows the manufacturing of multiple items out of one piece of raw material.

We are a company that manufactures timber structures, finished timber items, and off-cuts (i.e. sawdust, firewood, etc.). We take raw timber logs and, depending on quality and other variants, manufacture lengths of lumber which will then go into stock for further refining into parts that will eventually be used in building structures etc. with off-cuts being accumulated and packaged.

As far as we can surmise, odoo manufacturing will allow making a BOM which takes several parts to create one whole item. What we are looking for is a way to take one raw item and split it into multiple pieces which can then be used in other BOM’s and to be able to track what has been made out of the original log, noting that each log will yield different products.

Is there a way to do this in odoo?
