Hi Mark,
There are a wide range of ways this is managed in different companies I have seen over the years and implemented solutions for. Some are using tablets or scanners on the floor that populate with the order or task, sometimes with filters based on types of assignments. Some use sheets or Kanban that travel around. You could use filtered Task lists by Work or Machine Center, a refreshing dashboard on a monitor, a Power App, or Power Automate to send notifications. It’s all very dependent on the type of work being done, the environment, and the process that is most useful to the users without interfering with the workflow or environment.

Hi Blaine, exactly as you described it this would be a modification to the base functionality, there is no way to automatically adjust output based on lot criteria. However, if you did something like included a reference to the length difference in your lot numbering, or two different units of measure for the item, when the total component need is calculated the users could see from the components/lots list what the requirement would be (i.e. total output need is 100FT so I can select 4 * 25FT lots or 5*20FT lots). Depending on the whole process you may also be able to use the Calculation Formula = Length on the Production BOM for a quantity suggestion.
