	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>A simple routing contains only sequentially ordered operations. A network routing also contains parallel operations.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou" role="module">Routing</GUIRef> module only simple routings are defined. Network routings can be defined by using phantom items. The routing of the phantom item is connected to the main item routing immediately before the main item operation that is linked to the phantom. An operation can be linked to a phantom in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/cst/ticst0101m000#ticst001.opno" role="formfield">Operation</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/cst/ticst0101m000" role="session">Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000)</GUIRef> session. For an example, see <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000041" role="manual">Example network routing</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The network structure can be changed by modifying the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0110m000#tisfc010.nopr" role="formfield">Next Operation</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0110m000" role="session">Production Planning (tisfc0110m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>Only converging network routings are supported: two parallel operations can be followed by a single next operation, but they cannot be preceded by one single operation.</Paragraph>
