I know this is going to open a can of worms and probably get some people agitated.
But can someone refresh me on the point of adding multipacks (such a as
) as a single inventory item? I know it was discussed as some point but I can't
find much in the forum. Was it because LEGO gives the entire thing a single
design ID? It makes extra work during part out since I have to part out the
parts after the set.

Especially since usually one or two parts are a part of a minifigures inventory!

Yes, it is due to the fact that LEGO considers these "multipacks" (family molds)
one part for inventory purposes.

I really think that this issue will not be solved until two types of inventory
are allowed. "What came in the box" and a "what it actually takes to build the
model". As long as the bag has an assembly that can be further parted out it
doesn't bother me as a seller.
I don't inventory things very often here, but I know that going forward (especially
with the trolls sets) that some items are used within a figure. In that case
does the remainder of the items fall under the extras category instead of the
pack appearing in the inventory?

That is exactly correct, and I am hopeful that we will get to that point eventually.
At least, that is the plan that the volunteer admins have. Unfortunately, we
await a day when we can get some programmers assigned to our needs instead of
things like the MOC Shop, Mosaik, Studio, etc.

All of these family molds do have their own inventories.

Any possibility we could get a "break multipacks into parts" option on the part
out screen? Sort of like the "Break Sets in Sets" option that currently exists
and is very useful for things like Advent calendars.

That would be ideal but would require actual programming to put into place. Any
programmers work at this website?? Oh, never mind.

Yeah, all these discussions always end up with solutions that require programming
something.
An endless circle that reminds me of this joke:
Babysitter: “Toto, stop running in circles.“
A little while later: “Toto, stop running in circles!”
Then: “Toto, stop running in circles or I’ll nail your other foot!”

I've often thought that there should be an overall part inventory for an
advent calendar so you can the parts and minifigs into stock, but that is a pure
seller standpoint.

I wish I could get the programmers in place to help with this, but the volunteer
admins have had almost no access to any programming time since the site was taken
over by the last owners many years ago. Instead of focusing on increasing the
usefulness and capabilities of the main site, they focused almost solely on side
projects and gimmicks (the MOC Shop, Mosaik, Studio, etc.) We all await what
may happen with the next owners.

I still wonder how important those side projects and gimmicks were made to be
when the site was sold to LEGO...

Interesting question. But a question I don't think that we will ever have
an answer to, not that it matters. It does bring the possible motivation for
those projects into focus, though.

I think it is apparent that Studio has been a success. It is being used throughout
the AFOL community, is superior to LEGO's own LDD that was shelved a number
of years ago and continues to be developed. I do believe that LEGO sees a lot
of value in that tool. The other things, not so much.
