Go to <b>Production → Settings → Production Settings</b>.

<p>This page links to the full settings form where administrators configure workspace defaults, production voucher behavior, order rules, yield calculation, secondary-status tracking, and print footer notes.</p>

<p>Changes apply workspace-wide to new and subsequent production transactions. Review impact on open Production Orders before changing variance limits or material-lock rules.</p>
