		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>You must recompute the phase numbers after changes in the bill of material (BOM).</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd6200m000#multi.site" role="formfield">Multisite Updating</GUIRef> check box and specify a multisite scenario, the computation is performed for all the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000110" role="glossary">plan sites</Link> of that scenario.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The session also checks for cycles in bills of material or cycles in bills of critical materials. See <Link href="/baanerp/cp/onlinemanual/000157" role="manual">Rules for defining plan units</Link>.</Paragraph>
