      <Paragraph>A family structure is defined by attaching family groups and
		families to a main family group. This structure can be used to generate family
		codes.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The top level can look like this:</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph> Example 1</Paragraph>
      <TABLE border="1" borderstyle="default" space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">

      </TABLE>
      <Paragraph>In Example 1, the main family group consists of
		three families. The Parts and Chairs families are in fact family groups,
		because next to the code element the families also have the codes PAR and CHA
		associated with them. This means that the families are themselves composed of
		family groups and/or families.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The family group CHA (Chairs), one level down, can look like
		this:</Paragraph>

            </TR>
         </TBODY>
      </TABLE>
      <Paragraph>The family group CHA (Chairs) consists of the family group OFF
		(Office Chairs) and the family Armchairs. The family group OFF consists of yet
		other families or family groups at lower levels (not shown here).</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>You can define family groups in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0198m000" role="session">Family Groups (tigrt0198m000)</GUIRef> session. The main family group must be defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0199m000" role="session">Structure Levels (tigrt0199m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      </Note>
      <Paragraph>You can generate actual families in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0103m000" role="session">Families (tigrt0103m000)</GUIRef> session on the basis of the code elements of the
		various underlying levels. Of all families from Examples 1 and 2, LN only generates family
		codes for Raw materials and Armchairs. The other families are actually family
		groups that are subdivided at a lower level.</Paragraph>
