WHy dont you just create an intermediate material send it for external operation. In this scenario , you can get a new material after 1st two operation , then you can issue this material as component for the next material having the external operation , then receive this external processed material & do the remaining operations to get your finished material . This would be a much simpler approach and more easier to generate reports.
