Work Orders With Multiple Items - Context?

[TimSchofield]

I create a lot of work orders with no BOM. Sometimes we don't have the time to make a BOM. So we issue the materials to the work order. Some times, rather than buy a specific size of material for a part, we don't add material to the bom and use what we have in stock. For example, a lathe part that has a finish diameter of 0.80 inches, could be made from 7/8, 1in, 1-1/8... stock. We use what we have or what we can get.

I am not bothered either way. At the time I couldn't think of any use cases where you would want it, but clearly there are. So from my side I am happy to leave it as possible for all M type products to be included in a work order.
