      <Paragraph>If you use a <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000094" role="glossary">tolerance period</Link> for a cluster activity type, all
		activity types within this tolerance period can be automatically related to the
		cluster activity type. To do this, you must use a specific function.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In the maintenance
		forecast, activity types can be linked to the activity type that is designated
		as the cluster activity type. The saving in activities to be performed by means
		of clustering, can be manually implemented in the cost estimation of the
		cluster activity type.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For this purpose, the
		cost estimates of the corresponding activity types are copied to the cluster
		activity type. To do this, you must copy a <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#MainteConcep_ts" role="glossary">maintenance concept</Link> with cluster activity
		types. In this way, the link to the original activity type remains intact.</Paragraph>
