      <Paragraph>To specify the moment that estimates are frozen, use the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0102m000#tisfc002.mfre" role="formfield">Moment Freezing Estimates</Link> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0102m000" role="session">Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000)</GUIRef> session. When the estimates are frozen,
		every change on the order will result in variance postings, which increases
		database growth and makes system performance worse. You can select one of the
		following values, by number group or by production order series:</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>To improve performance, postpone estimate freezing as long as
		possible. Note that if you select <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.mfre#bef.first.wipt" role="option">Before First WIP Transaction</GUIRef>, the estimates are calculated and stored at the
		first actual posting; this means that performance of the first step will not
		improve.</Paragraph>
