The order system that you define for the item in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session determines the package from which an item's production order originates. Production orders from Enterprise Planning Items with the order system Planned are processed in the Resource Requirement Planning module of Enterprise Planning. The item's order policy determines how production orders are handled in Enterprise Planning.
