			<Paragraph>The item order plan is based on detailed planning data from various sources. The item order plan is not stored as such, but is composed online when you run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp0520m000" role="session">Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000)</GUIRef> session. You can choose between various levels of detail for the item order plan, ranging from 28-day periods to the level of individual orders.</Paragraph>

			<List><ListIntro>During an order simulation (RRP run), supply is planned in the form of planned orders. You can carry out an order simulation in the following sessions:</ListIntro>

				</ListItem>
			</List>
			<List><ListIntro><GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> can generate three types of planned orders:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000047" role="glossary">Planned production orders</Link>

				<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000048" role="glossary">Planned purchase orders</Link>

				</ListItem>
			</List>
			<List><ListIntro>For planned production orders, Enterprise Planning uses:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri.ti" role="glossary">BOMs</Link> to explode material requirements</ListItem>
				<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing.ti" role="glossary">Routings</Link> to calculate lead times and determine the necessary resource capacity</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>Instead of using routings, Enterprise Planning can also use fixed lead times for planned production orders.</Paragraph>

		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>Most horizons and time fences in Enterprise Planning are rounded to the end of a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000109" role="glossary">plan period</Link>. Therefore, you need to define plan periods for the scenario involved, even if you only use order-based supply planning.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The horizon of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp0520m000" role="session">Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000)</GUIRef> session is the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000066" role="glossary">planning horizon</Link>, so that you can check all the item's transactions time-phased. If an item does not have an <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000019" role="glossary">item master plan</Link>, the planning horizon is equal to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000065" role="glossary">order horizon</Link>. If you use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000" role="session">Convert Master Plan to Planned Orders (cprmp2240m000)</GUIRef> session in combination with <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000013" role="glossary">workload control</Link>, you must extend the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000370" role="glossary">item order plan</Link> view with the planning horizon.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>SSA ERP shows the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000018" role="glossary">production plan</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000023" role="glossary">purchase plan</Link> as <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000047" role="glossary">planned production orders</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000048" role="glossary">planned purchase orders</Link>, with a blank <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp0520m000#orno" role="formfield">Order Number</GUIRef> field.</Paragraph>
