      <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/soc/tssoc0100m000" role="session">Service Order Parameters (tssoc0100m000)</GUIRef> session, you can set the parameters for
		service-order blocking. The checks for blocking can be performed at each step
		in the service order procedure. Select the First Order Procedure Step for
		Blocking check box to indicate at how many stages a <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#ServicOrder_ts" role="glossary">service order</Link> must be checked to see if the service order
		meets any of the selected signaling and blocking parameters and, if so, LN blocks the service order.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If a service order
		blocking parameters is selected, LN carries out the
		blocking functionality when the order status changes to Free, Planned, or
		Released. The blocking functionality is also carried out each time a new
		service order is created.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The blocking reasons
		appear in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/mdm/tsmdm1101m000" role="session">Blocking Reasons (tsmdm1101m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
