				<Paragraph>The lot size is equal to the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000060" role="glossary">economic order quantity</Link>.</Paragraph>
			</Note>
			<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rao/cprao3120m000" role="session">Resource Cost Values (cprao3120m000)</GUIRef> session you can define resource parameters that SSA ERP takes into account for the optimization of lot sizes) and order intervals of items produced at the involved resource.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The session prints an overview of the optimization results. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rao/cprao3110m000" role="session">Plan Items - Optimized Lot Sizes (cprao3110m000)</GUIRef> session displays the details per item.</Paragraph>
