	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>, you can group orders into <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000401" role="glossary">order groups</Link>, to execute activities for an entire group of orders that share specific attributes, such as <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#Warehouse.tc" role="glossary">warehouse</Link>, <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000018" role="glossary">planner</Link>, start date, <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing.ti" role="glossary">routing</Link>, and so on.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>, you can use production order groups as a selection criterion in various sessions in Manufacturing, and Warehouse Management.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>As a result, you can perform an action for a whole production order group at once. <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000401" role="glossary">Order groups</Link> enable you to process orders more efficiently. In addition, order groups help you to organize manufacturing tasks that share, for example, common tooling setups.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Enterprise Planning also supports production order grouping. You can define order groups in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3250m000" role="session">Create Order Group for Planned Orders (cppat3250m000)</GUIRef> session of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat" role="module">Plan Aggregation and Transfer</GUIRef> module. You can use an order group as a selection criterion in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1210m000" role="session">Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000)</GUIRef> session, when you transfer planned production orders from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>. In addition, in SSA ERP you can specify that SFC must retain the grouping relationship of the planned production order groups to create an SFC production order group that refers to the planned production order groups as defined in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3250m000" role="session">Create Order Group for Planned Orders (cppat3250m000)</GUIRef> session, you can select planned production orders based on selection criteria such as order status, start date, warehouse, routing group, or required tooling, and add them to an order group. You can also assign individual <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000047" role="glossary">planned production orders</Link> to an order group in the interactive <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3151s000" role="session">Assign Production Orders to EP Order Group (cppat3151s000)</GUIRef> session. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3151s000" role="session">Assign Production Orders to EP Order Group (cppat3151s000)</GUIRef> session, you can also remove a planned production order from the order group. You can create an order group according to various selection criteria and manually add individual orders to an order group.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>Various sessions enable you to:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Create order groups.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>View order groups.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Add orders to order groups.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<List><ListIntro>You can create an order group according to various selection criteria or manually add individual orders to an order group. These sessions are:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3151s000" role="session">Assign Production Orders to EP Order Group (cppat3151s000)</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1500m100" role="session">Planned Order Group - Planned Orders (cppat1500m100)</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3150m000" role="session">Planned Order Groups (cppat3150m000)</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>The <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000051" role="glossary">order status</Link> of the planned production orders that you can add to an production order group can be Planned, Confirmed, or Firm Planned. If the order status of a planned production order that is part of an order group in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>, has the order status Planned, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> can remove the order from the order group when it updates the planning. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp1200m000" role="session">Confirm Planned Orders (cprrp1200m000)</GUIRef> session, you can set the order status of an entire order group to Confirmed.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro><GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> deletes the planned production order group when:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>The order group is transferred to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>You cancel the order selection in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat3151s000" role="session">Assign Production Orders to EP Order Group (cppat3151s000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The last planned production order of the order group is deleted by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> during planning.</ListItem>
