Show parts to be ordered

[arbite]

Hiya,
I use Inventree to manage parts and stock for electronics production.

I have a bunch of different products that I manufacture. There is about 70% sharing of components between all the products.
I generally aim to manufacture products in batches. For example, I will decide to manufacture X of products A, B, C and D, check my component stock levels, order parts, then start building when they come in.
I don't currently have a good workflow for building a list of the components I need to order to manufacture the chosen products.
I'm currently using build orders and child build orders, but I can't seem to get a list of the parts I need to order to satisfy the build orders. At the moment, I'm using an external spreadsheet.
Can anyone offer some suggestions on alternate workflows? Am I actually able to achieve this entirely in Inventree?

Thanks for the good work!

I just found the "Show needed stock" home page setting.
The results of this looks pretty useful - it would be very handy to be able to sort this list, or filter it so that the ones whos required "allocated stock" is greater than the "available stock" could be isolated. These would be the parts to start adding to orders. I've included a picture of what I mean.

where is this located?

Hey, Enable it in "settings", "Home Page", "Show needed stock".
Then when you click back to the index (Inventree icon in top left), click "Required for Build Orders"

Looks like it have kind of vanished in the new PUI.
There is a "Required for Build Orders" dashboard widget, but the Allocated Stock column is missing.
You have to hover each item to see the allocated/available info.

Could you use a report? It might by a bit tricky but should be possible.

I ended up using the new PUI to export "Required for Build Orders" to CSV, then using a spreadsheet....
