From the help file topic "Calculating materials"
"The program will add up the total of each Box material type in the job and give the master list of parts. This is the total that will be used for the job and does not compensate for waste or odd sized parts. Even if it says you will use 4 sheets, you may actually need 5 or 6 sheets if the job has over sized cabinets. This figure is the total square inches divided by 4608 to convert it to 4 x 8 sheets."
----------------
For an accurite number of sheets needed you should run the parts through the panel optimizer. I changed the box material to give square feet/meters but still need to change it for the drawer boxes and backs.
