Un-hemmed Pants Inventory

Trying to figure out the best way to process SO lines with uniform pants on them that we stock.  The issue is we inventory pants unhemmed, that way when a customer orders a 32x32 we hem the pant to the 32 inseam.  So technically we take out of the unhemmed inventory and create a new item code with the 32x32.   We also might have some 32x32 in inventory (from canceled orders) and we get an order for a 32x30, ideally we would want to pull a 32x30 but if there's no inventory I would want to pull the 32x32 and hem it 2" to make a 32x30.

Would this be a situation for a lookup table? Or alias item codes, I knew we would have an issue with this situation when we try to get everything on inventory correctly.  Right now it is a manual process, the order is entered as a 32x32 and when the picker goes to pick the pant, they look on the shelf and pick either the exact size or one with a longer inseam to hem.  Nothing in Sage is accurate on inventory levels right now.

    We did look at BOM but we didn't feel it benefited us to track all the labor expenses on a "job", mainly looked at it for decorating garments but I see where the hemming could fall under that too.  So on the Sales Kit option, the components of the kit item code would be all the different lengths? This is an example of our item codes for a 34 waist pant,  all these lengths are options to sell but we only have inventory in the P-GRY 34 UNH.

    P-GRY7 34 UNH
    P-GRY7 34X26
    P-GRY7 34X30
    P-GRY7 34X32
    P-GRY7 34X34
    P-GRY7 34X36
    P-GRY7 34X38
    P-GRY7 34X40

    Alternate Items might work for that... but I haven't really used the feature so I can't comment on functional details.
