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

<p><b>How is WIP Transfer different from Inventory Transfer?</b><br>Inventory Transfer moves regular stock between centers. WIP Transfer is for work-in-progress items still in the production workflow.</p>

<p><b>Can I create a Delivery Challan from WIP Transfer?</b><br>Yes — on an approved transfer, use <b>Create Delivery Challan</b> when moving WIP to an external location.</p>
<p><b>Can source equal destination?</b><br>No — source and destination centers must be different.</p>
<p><b>Delivery challan?</b><br>WIP transfer can generate delivery challan with tax when configured.</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>
