      <Paragraph>If the execution of the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000377" role="glossary" Update="No">order block</Link> takes too much time, you can
		split the order block into two or more smaller order blocks.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>This action gives you more flexibility, that you can utilize
		  in the following ways:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>If you have too much work for a machine, you can move some of
		  the production orders of an order block to another machine.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>If order blocks are too long, you can create smaller order
		  blocks in order to switch setup states more frequently.</ListItem>

      <Paragraph>An order block contains a list of <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000022" role="glossary">production orders</Link>. If you split an order block, LN creates a new order
		block. The original order block retains the first part of the production orders
		and the new order block gets the second part of the production orders. You must
		indicate at which production order LN must split the order block.</Paragraph>

      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>To split off part of an order block, take the following steps:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0151m000" role="session">Order Block Planning (tisfc0151m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select the order block that must be split.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>On the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Specific</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0151m000#orders.by.ord.blk.refresh" role="command">Split Block</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0152m000" role="session">Production Orders by Block (tisfc0152m000)</GUIRef> session starts.</Paragraph>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select the production order after which LN must split the list
		  of production orders.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>Click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0152m000#split.block.and.stop" role="command">Split and Close</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0152m000" role="session">Production Orders by Block (tisfc0152m000)</GUIRef> closes unless an error occurred.</Paragraph>
         </ListItem>
      </ProcedureList>
      <Paragraph>LN generates a sequence number for the new order block. The new sequence number is
		between the sequence number of the current order block and the sequence number
		of the next order block.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>LN updates the order block details according to the data of the production orders
		in the order blocks.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>You can also start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0152m000" role="session">Production Orders by Block (tisfc0152m000)</GUIRef> session directly, and proceed from there.</Paragraph>
