         <SectionTitle>To view and plan production order operations</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>In the graphical planning board, you can view and plan the
		  production order's operations. To view the operations for a production order in
		  the Gantt view, you must first double-click the production order in the left
		  column so that the order expands. You can also click <HTML:IMG xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" height="22" width="21"
                      SRC="../images/nt_expand_all_rows.gif"
                      alt="[...]"/>, so that
		  all production orders are expanded at once. The operations, in the Gantt view
		  as well as in the Schedule view, can provide you with the following extra
		  information:</Paragraph>
         <List>
            <ListItemHead>Completion percentage</ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>
               <Paragraph>You can view the progress on a production order operation
				indicated by a progress bar and a completion percentage. If you click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Show completions</GUIRef> in the View menu, you can display or hide the
				progress bar and the percentage .</Paragraph>
               <Paragraph>LN uses the following formula to calculate the progress bar's
				length:</Paragraph>
               <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
                  <Paragraph>Planned production time - Remaining production time / Planned production time</Paragraph>
               </Formula>
               <Paragraph>In other words, the progress bar indicates which part of
				the setup time and the production time is already finished. The queue time,
				wait time, and move time are not included in the progress calculation. Note
				that although part of the progress bar can be displayed underneath the
				operation's wait time in the planning board, the wait time is not taken into
				account in the progress calculation.</Paragraph>
            </ListItem>
            <ListItemHead>Overdueness</ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>An operation is overdue if the operation's end time is later
			 than the production order's requested delivery date. If you point the cursor to
			 an operation that is overdue, the overdueness is displayed in calendar
			 days/hours as well as in working hours. Overdueness of an operation can be
			 indicated by the color. If the color of the operation is red, the operation is
			 overdue. In the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu, you can click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Switch 'Display Overdue' on/off</GUIRef> to
			 determine whether LN must use color to display that an operation is overdue.</ListItem>
            <ListItemHead>Leadtime components</ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>The operations' leadtime components, such as the queue time
			 and the setup time, as well as the operations' statuses are indicated by
			 colors.</ListItem>
         </List>
         <Paragraph>You can drag and drop the production operations in the
		  graphical planning board to replan your production. The production planning
		  data is then updated in LN. Replanning in the graphical planning board uses the same
		  planning logic as the LN planning sessions.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>It makes no difference whether you drag an operation block at
		  the front or at the back of the block. Even if you drag an operation block at
		  the end of the block, the change is expressed in the operation's start time. LN then plans forward
		  on the basis of the new start time to calculate the new end time of the
		  operation. The dates and times of the other operations in the production order
		  change dependent on the production order's moving methods.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>If you double-click a production order or an operation, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0101m100" role="session">Production Order (tisfc0101m100)</GUIRef> session or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0110m000" role="session">Production Planning (tisfc0110m000)</GUIRef> session are respectively started, in which you can
		  view and/or maintain planning data. You cannot add or append new operations in
		  the planning board. You can, however, change dates and operation times.</Paragraph>
         <GeneralSection>
            <SectionTitle>Menu options</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>In the Gantt view, use the commands in the Sort by menu to
			 sort the production orders. By sorting your data, you can focus on a specific
			 part of the shop floor, for example, view the production orders for a specific
			 PCS project or production start date.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>You can choose whether a message must be displayed if
			 replanning causes a production order to be late. In the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Switch 'Planning Messages' on/off</GUIRef> to determine whether a
			 message must be displayed.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>You can choose whether operations with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.opst#completed" role="option">Completed</GUIRef> status must be displayed in the planning board.
			 In the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu,
			 click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Switch 'Skip Completed' on/off</GUIRef> to determine completed
			 operations must be displayed.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>You can choose whether you want to display the operation's
			 queue time by clicking <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Switch 'Display Queue Time' on/off</GUIRef> in
			 the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu. If
			 the queue time is displayed, the start date of the operation block in the
			 planning board equals the queue time's start date. If the queue time is not
			 displayed, the start date of the operation block equals the date of the setup
			 time or run time.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>From the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu of the planning board, you can also start
