			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Procedure</SectionTitle>
				<List><ListIntro>This session carries out the following steps:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>Roll the scenario If the scenario is a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000006" role="glossary">rolling plan</Link>, and a certain number of days passed since the reference date, the plan is shifted forward in time. See <Link href="/baanerp/cp/onlinemanual/000150" role="manual">To use a rolling scenario</Link>.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Update the master plan SSA ERP updates the master plan of each selected plan item. See <Link href="/baanerp/cp/onlinemanual/000049" role="manual">To update master-plan data</Link>.</ListItem>

				<Paragraph>If you specify a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4100m000#cprpd400.plfd" role="formfield">Scenario Finish Date</GUIRef> for your scenario that does not match the end of the last <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000109" role="glossary">plan period</Link>, the length of this last plan period is not equal to the plan period length you defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4120m000" role="session">Scenario - Periods (cprpd4120m000)</GUIRef> session. This leads to disproportionate planning values if you roll the scenario with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4200m000" role="session">Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
