			<Paragraph>A family is identified by an 8-position family code. These eight positions allow for a levelled structure (1 up to 8 layers), that you define in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0199m000" role="session">Structure Levels (tigrt0199m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>The family code is divided to five levels. For each level, a number of positions has been reserved. By following the === line, you obtain the family code: AB2xr95.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Define family groups and family structure.</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>After you define the structure levels, you have to set up the family structure that consists of family groups. For each family group one or more families are selected. For example, the family group vehicles can consist of the families cars and buses. If a selection involves subselections, the family group one lower is also entered. Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0198m000" role="session">Family Groups (tigrt0198m000)</GUIRef> session and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0193m000" role="session">Family Structure (tigrt0193m000)</GUIRef> session to complete the family structure.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Define families</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>Once the family structure has been set up, you must define families with codes. Only the end of the family structure can be defined as families, and receive a family code. Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0103m000" role="session">Families (tigrt0103m000)</GUIRef> session to define the families (refer to <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000197" role="manual">Composing a family code - an example</Link> ).</Paragraph>
