<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>
<b>What is the standard production flow?</b><br>
Plan → Production Order → Issue For Production → Production Voucher → Receipt From Production. Optional Issue For Production Request for store approval.

<b>Single-stage vs multi-stage?</b><br>
<a href="#/production/single-stage-production-order">Single-Stage</a> uses one BOM. <a href="#/production/multi-stage-production-order">Multi-Stage</a> uses stage-wise BOM and intermediate quantities.

<b>Does production post to accounts?</b><br>
Production Voucher can post wages and overheads when configured. Finished goods move inventory on Receipt From Production.

<b>Where configure variance limits?</b><br>
<a href="#/production/production-settings-config">Production Settings</a> — BOM output and raw material deviation limits trigger multi-level approval.

<b>How does subcontracting work?</b><br>
<a href="#/production/issue-for-subcontracting">Issue For Subcontracting</a> sends materials; <a href="#/production/receipt-from-subcontracting">Receipt From Subcontracting</a> receives processed goods linked to purchase order.
