		<ProcedureList><ListIntro>For to-order items, the usual procedure is as follows:</ListIntro>

			<ListItem>You use the to-order item to create a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000098" role="glossary">project item</Link> for the project.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In <GUIRef href="" role="manual" Update="No">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>, you plan the supply of the project item.</ListItem>

That action is useful if you want to reserve resources for the production of the item before you have sales orders for the item.
