    The Production Module is designed for fast, intuitive access to production data at any level: unit, well, tank, or meter. Users can navigate a logical drill-down workflow from production units to sale or disposal points, tank batteries, and individual gauge or meter readings, all without leaving the form structure. This makes it easy to review and maintain related production information while staying within the same context.

    For broader data entry or analysis, the system supports direct access at the daily gauge and meter level. By entering through the Daily Entry > Gauge/Meter Entry menu, users can work across multiple units and tanks for a given time period, rather than being limited to a single unit. This dual navigation approach provides both detailed drill-down control and efficient cross-unit data management, depending on the task at hand.
