         <ListIntro>For clustered items, you can use these types of
		  available-to-promise functionality:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Standard CTP</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Channel CTP</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Family CTP</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>You must set up a plan item’s available-to-promise functionality
		in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd1100m000" role="session">Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000)</GUIRef> session, on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd1100m000#cprpd1101sDF4" role="groupbox">CTP</GUIRef> tab.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For clustered items, the use of component and capacity CTP is
		restricted. Only one of the clustered plan items and nonclustered plan items
		can be supplied by means of the source production. If multiple clusters have
		the source production, the capable-to-promise functionality produces erroneous
		results, because the system promises the same capacity and components to
		multiple orders: once for each cluster. This happens because a clustered item
		cannot have a unique bill of material, bill of critical material, routing
		operations, or bill of critical operations.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> reserves and checks capacity CTP on a clustered item, the
		same capacity can be promised to multiple orders: once for the clustered item,
		and once for the nonclustered item.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>No functionality for disaggregating distribution orders to a
		clustered item is available. Therefore, LN does not calculate
		the channel ATP automatically, if the clustered item has the source
		Distribution. For these clustered items, you must manually enter a quantity in
		the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/dsp/cpdsp5210m000#alde.plan" role="manual">Allowed Demand</GUIRef> field to maintain the channel ATP in
		the channel master plan.</Paragraph>
