	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>It is often undesirable to have a large number of production orders waiting for execution. SSA ERP allows you to avoid that situation by transferring no more production orders to a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000008" role="glossary">resource</Link> when the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000014" role="glossary">workload</Link> of this resource reaches a certain workload norm.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You can also increase the workload for a specific resource that has too little work to do.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Define the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000052" role="glossary">workload norm</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000053" role="glossary">workload tolerance</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd2100m000" role="session">Resource (cprpd2100m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You can now use the workload of the resource as a criterion for the transfer process in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1210m000" role="session">Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If the total workload exceeds the workload norm, SSA ERP selects the production orders to be transferred on the basis of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1210m000#priority.rule" role="formfield">Priority Rule</GUIRef> field.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If you select the planned orders interactively, you can immediately see the change in workload when you add a production order to the selection.</Paragraph>
