Save time by reusing existing production operations from similar products in Katana.
Why copy production operations?
If you manufacture products with similar steps (e.g. tables, desks, or kits with slight differences), you can copy operations from one product to another instead of creating them from scratch. This boosts efficiency and minimizes manual entry errors.
Prerequisites
The item must have Make enabled.
