         <ListIntro> LN can handle sales order lines for assembly items in two ways:</ListIntro>
         <ListItemHead>Sell single</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>The order quantity on a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#SlsOrderLns_td" role="glossary">sales order line</Link> has the fixed value of one. To sell more than one of the
		  item, you must insert multiple sales order lines.</ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Sell multiples</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>The order quantity on a sales order line can be greater than
		  one.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>The method that LN uses, depends on the
		setting of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/apl/tiapl0100s000#tiapl000.smsc" role="manual">Sell Multiples of Same Configuration</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/apl/tiapl0500m000" role="session">Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0500m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
