	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>This topic describes how <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> handles the planning of <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000098" role="glossary">project items</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Planning of derived versus nonderived project items</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If an item's project segment is filled (that is, the item is a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#CustomItem.ti" role="glossary">customized item</Link> or a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000026" role="glossary">standard-to-order item</Link>, the way in which this item is treated in Enterprise Planning depends on whether or not the item is derived from a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#StandaItem.ti" role="glossary">standard item</Link>. (For a derived project-specific item, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000#tcibd001.dfit" role="formfield">Derived-from Item</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000" role="session">Item - General (tcibd0101s000)</GUIRef> session is filled; for a non-derived item, it is empty).</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>In <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000059" role="glossary">master planning</Link>, the planning of a standard item includes all project-specific items that are derived from this item as indicated in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000" role="session">Item - General (tcibd0101s000)</GUIRef> session. This holds good for all master-planning data (demand, supply, inventory, ATP). You cannot maintain a separate item master plan for a derived project-specific item. For a non-derived item, you can maintain a master plan.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Project structure of derived project items</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>You can directly enter orders for to-order items in the <Link href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls4100m000" role="session">Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000)</Link> session. When you save the sales order line for the order, you can start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls4244m000" role="session">Generate (Project) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000)</GUIRef> session where you can customize the to-order item structure of a project. In addition to the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri.ti" role="glossary">bill of material (BOM)</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing.ti" role="glossary">routing</Link>, SSA ERP also automatically customizes the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000005" role="glossary">supplying relationships</Link>, <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000104" role="glossary">sourcing strategies</Link>, and supplying strategies. In other words, the structure for the derived-from item is used as a template for the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#CustomItem.ti" role="glossary">customized item</Link>. As soon as the item is customized, all the relations to this item in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> are also customized.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>However, the customization method is different, if you generate a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#ProjecStruct.ti" role="glossary">project structure</Link> for a project item with one of the folowing sessions:</Paragraph>
			<List><ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs2230m000" role="session">Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000)</GUIRef>
				</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs2231m000" role="session">Copy Customized Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2231m000)</GUIRef>
				</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs2232m000" role="session">Copy Customized Product Structure to Standard Structure (tipcs2232m000)</GUIRef>
				</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>If you go through the previously mentioned sessions, SSA ERP searches for the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#Warehouse.tc" role="glossary">warehouse</Link> linked to the derived from item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd2500m000" role="session">Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000)</GUIRef> session and for the related plan item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd1100m000" role="session">Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000)</GUIRef> session. Next, SSA ERP customizes the corresponding general item and the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#PlanItems.ti" role="glossary">plan item</Link> in the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000315" role="glossary">cluster</Link> to which the warehouse belongs, as you defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd2500m000" role="session">Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000)</GUIRef> session. This means that you must still customize the underlying <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000005" role="glossary">supplying relationships</Link>, so that SSA ERP can plan for the project item. You can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd7200m000" role="session">Copy Multilevel Supplying Structure (cprpd7200m000)</GUIRef> session to do so.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>In <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000060" role="glossary">order planning</Link>, a derived project-specific item is not included in the planning of the standard item from which it is derived: both are planned separately.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Module planning</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>You can define <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000085" role="glossary">modules</Link> for <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000023" role="glossary">projects</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs" role="module">Project Control</GUIRef> module in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4120m000#tipcs420.fixq" role="formfield">Fixed Plan Quantity</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4120m000" role="session">Module Planning (tipcs4120m000)</GUIRef> session, you can enter the required quantity directly in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4120m000#tipcs420.plnq" role="formfield">Plan Quantity</GUIRef> field. If you clear the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4120m000#tipcs420.fixq" role="formfield">Fixed Plan Quantity</GUIRef> check box, SSA ERP determines the required quantity based on the BOM.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>SSA ERP determines the date of the requirement on the basis of the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#NetworPlanni.ti" role="glossary">network planning</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs" role="module">Project Control</GUIRef> module.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you plan a customized item with <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000060" role="glossary">order-based planning</Link>, the plan quantity of the module is the basis for the generation of planned orders.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you want to generate orders on the basis of the module planning, the item must have an item master plan. You must not use this master plan for master-plan simulations; the master plan is only used to temporarily store the requirements.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you transfer planned orders from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000027" role="glossary">execution level</Link>, SSA ERP automatically reduces the plan quantity in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4120m000" role="session">Module Planning (tipcs4120m000)</GUIRef> session by the order quantity, so that you can plan the remaining plan quantity during a following RRP calculation.</Paragraph>

	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>ATP and CTP for customized items</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP supports ATP and CTP checks for project items. To do so, SSA ERP takes into account the <Link href="/baanerp/cf/glossary/glossary#000020" role="glossary">generic BOM</Link> and the generic routing of the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#GeneriItem.ti" role="glossary">generic item</Link> if the project item is a derived-from item. If the project item is not derived from a generic item, SSA ERP uses the normal <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri.ti" role="glossary">bill of material (BOM)</Link> and the normal <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing.ti" role="glossary">routing</Link> of the item to perform CTP checks.</Paragraph>
