	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>Decentralized multisite planning only involves local scenarios. You do not need to set up a special multisite scenario, and you do not need to select the following check boxes:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4100m000#cprpd400.mult" role="formfield">Central Multi Site Planning</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4100m000" role="session">Scenarios (cprpd4100m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>

		<Paragraph>You only need to define <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000005" role="glossary">supplying relationships</Link> between the sites involved. <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> uses these relationships to carry out distribution planning, and to pass on requirements from one site to another.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You can define supplying relationships in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd7130m000" role="session">Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>The passing on of distribution requirements ( <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000121" role="glossary">dependent distribution demand</Link> ) between sites only works if you use the same scenario code in each site.</Paragraph>
