         <Paragraph>If you wish, you can
        convert a production plan to planned production orders in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000" role="session">Convert Master Plan to Planned Orders (cprmp2240m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      </Note>
      <Paragraph>When a production volume
      is planned, the resulting requirements for components are passed on to the
      component items involved, so that LN can take this dependent demand into
      account when these items are planned. Moreover, the capacity requirements
      resulting from planned production are passed on to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000008" role="glossary">resources</Link> involved.</Paragraph>
      <Note>

         <Paragraph>In master planning,
        only critical requirements (according to the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000081" role="glossary">bill of critical materials</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfCritic_ti" role="glossary">bill of critical capacities</Link>) are passed on
        to the component items and resources involved.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>You can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1210m000" role="session">Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000)</GUIRef> session to transfer a batch of planned
      production orders and/or production plans to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000027" role="glossary">execution level</Link> of LN. In addition, you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1250m000" role="session">Transfer Order Manually (cppat1250m000)</GUIRef> session to transfer one specific planned
      production order from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp1100m000" role="session">Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000)</GUIRef> session to the execution level.</Paragraph>
