	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to enable SSA ERP to automatically generate <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000402" role="glossary">aggregation relationship</Link> between a specific family item and a range of sub-items.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>You can use this session if the familiy structure of the item for which you want to define the aggregation relationships is rather extensive. Rather than define the aggregation relationships manually and one-by-one in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP can generate these relationships in one action.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>By default, the aggregation relationship that SSA ERP generates, apply the following planning data:</Paragraph>
			<List><ListItem>Production plans, production orders, and planned production receipts.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Purchase plans, purchase orders, and planned purchase receipts.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Inventory plan.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Distribution orders and receipts.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Demand forecast.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Extra demand.</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>If you open the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000)</GUIRef> details session for an aggregation relationship that SSA ERP generated, the check boxes in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Aggregation Data</GUIRef> group are all selected, but you can still fine-tune the default settings.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>SSA ERP can generate aggregation relationships between the following item types:</Paragraph>
