Production Planning - Paints Assignment

Question(s):

For the paints assignment if I have 2 borders or 2 legs that would use the same colors and more or less the same paint procedure could I put them on the same estimate sheet? Another question, it seems like it would be easier and more efficient to order the paint as a whole, for all the pieces, because there are overlapping colors and no individual piece that I have is more then 200 sq feet.

Answers:

If you have two pieces that are virtually identical then you can use one estimate sheet and note that you will be using it twice. You should still list the units separately on your summary sheet.

If you want to gang together materials, then you will have to do a quantity take off to show where the overlaps are. This does make sense.
