         <Paragraph>Most horizons and time

		  order-based supply planning.</Paragraph>

		  If an item does not have an <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000019" role="glossary">item master plan</Link>, the planning horizon is equal to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000065" role="glossary">order horizon</Link>.
