# Single-Stage Production Order
A single-stage Production Order uses one Bill of Materials and completes production in one flow — issue materials, post a Production Voucher, and receive finished goods into stock without intermediate stage tracking.
Workflow
- Create and approve a Production Order with a standard BOM (not Multi stage BOM).
- Optional: Issue For Production Request → store approves pick list.
- Issue For Production — move raw materials to production center.
- Production Voucher — record consumption, overheads, by-products, and output quantity.
- Receipt From Production — move finished goods to warehouse.
- Mark order Finished / Closed when complete.
Setup
- Create a Bill Of Materials with raw materials, overheads, and optional by-products.
- Ensure the item is a producible item type with the BOM linked.
- Configure Production Settings for voucher and variance rules.
