	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>The workload control planning method can operate in two ways:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Based on production volumes (quantities)</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Based on the value of production volumes</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>The way the planning process operates is determined by the values of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.macs" role="formfield">Consider Material Costs</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.prcs" role="formfield">Consider Production Costs</GUIRef> check boxes in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000" role="session">Work Load Control Parameters (cpwlc2101m000)</GUIRef> session. The performance indicators in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2520m000" role="session">Work Load Control Performance Indicators (cpwlc2520m000)</GUIRef> session are displayed accordingly.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.macs" role="formfield">Consider Material Costs</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.prcs" role="formfield">Consider Production Costs</GUIRef> check boxes are both cleared, SSA ERP plans in terms of volumes. Whenever the production plan must be changed because of constraints, SSA ERP minimizes the changes in terms of the total quantity produced ahead or behind schedule.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>If at least one of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.macs" role="formfield">Consider Material Costs</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.prcs" role="formfield">Consider Production Costs</GUIRef> check boxes is selected, SSA ERP will plan in terms of value. If the production plan must be changed because of constraints, SSA ERP minimizes the changes in terms of the total value of the items that are produced later or earlier. The production value is defined as:</Paragraph>
			<Formula><Paragraph UserLevel="Novice" UserType="Taskuser"> Production volume x (Material and/or Production Costs) </Paragraph>
			</Formula>
