      <Paragraph>To issue materials with little administrative handling, you can
		select the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000#tiipd001.dris" role="formfield" Update="No">Direct Process Warehouse Order Line</Link> check box
		in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000" role="session">Items - Production (tiipd0101m000)</GUIRef> session or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/cst/ticst0101m000" role="session">Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If shortages exist during <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Backflushing_ti" role="glossary">backflushing</Link> or direct processing, and
		later new material has arrived in inventory, you can use a skip the warehousing
		order procedure and directly process the remaining material quantity. You can
		process the shortages for a range of production orders, individual production
		orders, operations, or material lines.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>After you process material shortages, LN prints the resolved
		shortages in detail.</Paragraph>
