Part Allocation Report

Where every submaterial goes — "12 off p1012: 6 in B1, 4 in B3, 2 in C5" — so a shorted part is found before it holds up fit-up.

Sample output — layout representative, numbers illustrative. Your job's data fills it.

Who it's for
The fitter / QC.
What's in it
Each submaterial with total quantity · every main mark that uses it and how many · sorted for chasing shortages.
Why it exists
When a part count comes up short, someone reverse-engineers where it was used. Detailers trade homemade templates for exactly this report because nothing ships it.
How it's built
Built on MemberMaterial.Material.SubMaterial, grouped across members.

Install — about a minute, once it ships

Status: in build — not available to download yet. There is no file behind this page today, and a free account will not get you one. Each template is written and run in SDS2 on a real job before its download is enabled here. The weekly brief announces each one the day it ships.

Verify report output against your project documents before fabrication. Templates are original SPI work built on the verified SDS2 ModelAll field catalog — every field path they use is checked against it, never guessed.
