Tracking Work In Progress Inventory (Manufacturing)

Hello All,
Do we have a way to track the work-in-progress inventory during the production cycle in manufacturing?
I know we have Job Cards based on the operations set in the BOM, but it is not linked with Raw material/inventory, making it difficult to track where the raw material is in the production cycle at the moment?
Has anyone come-up with any work around in the existing version? This might be on the product roadmap but any way to do this in the current version?
I tried building custom report but it is difficult to do so since the routing information is not really used anywhere and not linked with Raw Material/Inventory.

Thanks.

Did you manage to figure this out?
