We need to track individual components within a single order through different production stages. Currently, Factory's workflow operates at the order level, an entire order can only have one workflow status at a time (e.g., "In Production"). This doesn't work for complex jobs where different components follow different production paths.
Job: Custom fabrication order with multiple components
Part A requires: CNC → Laser → Wrapping → Assembly → Paint → Packing → Install
Part B requires: CNC → Assembly → Paint → Packing → Install (skips laser & wrapping)
Part C requires: Laser → Wrapping → Assembly → Install (skips CNC, paint, packing)
We can't track which components are at which stage. The order-level workflow status doesn't reflect the reality of our production floor.
What we need is a way to see that Part A is at "Assembly," Part B is at "Paint," and Part C is at "Laser Cutting", all within the same order. This impacts our daily production workflow and ability to accurately track job progress.
