      <Paragraph>To plan production orders or to calculate available capacity in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>, LN needs to know the

      <Paragraph>In production planning, LN uses <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#LeadTime_ti" role="glossary">lead times</Link> to determine when an operation is finished,
		and when the next operation is started. To obtain reliable planning dates, the
		availability of resources must be taken into account. For example, a work
		center can be occasionally unavailable, due to weekends, holidays, or
		maintenance.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>If a work center has no valid calendar for the applicable <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#ResoActiType_tc" role="glossary">availability type</Link>, LN uses the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000011" role="glossary">enterprise unit</Link> 's calendar. If neither the work center
		  nor the enterprise unit have a valid calendar, LN takes the company
		  calendar.</Paragraph>
