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.
