      <Paragraph>This topic describes how you can confirm <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000050" role="glossary">planned orders</Link> in such a way, that only those orders which are about to start
		will be confirmed, taking the order lead times into account.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A confirmed planned order is ready to be transferred to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000027" role="glossary">execution level</Link>.</Paragraph>

      <List>
         <ListIntro>You must carefully select which planned orders you
		  confirm:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>If you confirm planned orders whose start date lies far in the
		  future, you lose flexibility; if the demand situation changes after the planned
		  orders were confirmed, you may need to perform additional actions to adjust the
		  plan.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>If you confirm planned orders too late, execution starts too
		  late for the planned orders to complete in time. This risk is more pronounced
		  for planned orders with long order lead times, that is, the planned orders that
		  take a long time to complete.</ListItem>

      <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp1200m000" role="session">Confirm Planned Orders (cprrp1200m000)</GUIRef> session, you can select planned orders based on
		their lead time.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can adjust this process by entering a multiplier in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp1200m000#f.oltm.mult" role="manual">Order Lead-Time Multiplier</GUIRef> field. If you use this option, a planned order is
		confirmed only if the planned start date lies before the following
		moment:</Paragraph>
      <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
         <Paragraph>current date + (order lead time * order lead-time multiplier)</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>The order lead time is defined as the time to manufacture or

         <ListItem>The order lead time is defined as the distribution lead time.
