<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<p><b>Why is Unit hidden?</b><br>When you filter by Production Stage Group, the report focuses on stage-level pending quantities and hides the unit column.</p>

<p><b>How do I see the Sale Order number?</b><br>Click <b>Show Sale Orders</b> on the filter bar (left side). The Sale Order #[ID] column appears; click <b>Hide Sale Orders</b> to hide it again.</p>

<p><b>Does this include closed orders?</b><br>No — only orders with remaining balance quantity appear.</p>
<p><b>What is pending?</b><br>Approved orders not finished or closed by filter criteria.</p>
<p><b>Sale backlog?</b><br>Use for make-to-order customer commitment review.</p>
<p><b>Can I export this report?</b><br>Yes — use Export from report actions for Excel analysis.</p>
<p><b>Which production setting affects this?</b><br>Review <a href="#/production/production-settings-config">Production Settings</a> for variance, quantity, and BOM rules.</p>
