General Settings
The defaults manufacturing follows.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
General settings hold the production type, how materials are issued, tolerances, the costing policy, whether posting to Accounting is switched on, and the planning horizon. Every setting can be overridden on the item, BOM or order where it matters. A readiness checklist shows what is still missing.
