 ===== The Production Module =====
+The {{tagpage>production|Production}} module should be used when material of one or more grades is processed to create new material of different grades. This could be done via melting, grinding, sifting, repackaging or otherwise altering a product to change its type/value. (Production is also known in some industries as "processing" or "tolling".) {{entry>0;Production;-}}
-The Production area of CATS should be used when material of one or more grades is processed to create new material of different grades. This could be done via melting, grinding, sifting, repackaging or otherwise altering a product. (Production is also known in some industries as "processing" or "tolling".)
 ==== Overview ====
 Production uses material from one or more existing contracts as the source of a new contract with new material (of whatever types and amounts you specify). The production process ensures that the existing material is moved out of inventory while the newly generated material is brought into inventory and valued appropriately. You can adjust the input quantities and output yield at any time and CATS will dynamically update the resulting material.
+<note important>The production module must be enabled in system settings.</note>
 ==== Accessing Production in CATS ====
