      <Paragraph>This is especially
		helpful, if you manually entered plan quantities and want to retain these plan
		quantities within the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000065" role="glossary">order horizon</Link>, or if the order horizon is set to zero,
		for example, if you use <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000013" role="glossary">workload control</Link>. If you select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000#set.firm" role="manual">Order Status to Firm-Planned</GUIRef> check box, the generated orders are immediately
		set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/domains/rrp.osta#firmplanned" role="option">Firm Planned</GUIRef>, which prevents LN from removing these orders during a normal
		order planning run.</Paragraph>
      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>To convert a plan to planned orders:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Specify a scenario and
		  a plan level.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select a range of plan
		  items.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select a range of
		  planners. Of the selected item range, LN only takes the items assigned to these
		  planners into account. If you do not want to constrain your item selection by
		  selecting planners, set the planner range to maximum.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select the range of
		  plan periods for which LN must convert the production plan and/or purchase plan to planned orders.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select the appropriate
		  check boxes.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Continue</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
      </ProcedureList>
      <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000" role="session">Convert Master Plan to Planned Orders (cprmp2240m000)</GUIRef> session is multi-site enabled. This
		means that you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000#move.multi" role="manual">Move in Multi-site</GUIRef> check box and define a range of plan sites in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000#multi.site.from" role="manual">From</GUIRef> field and
		the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2240m000#multi.site.to" role="manual">To</GUIRef> field that LN takes into account to
		support multi-site relations in planning.</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <List>
            <ListItem>For each planned order
			 that is generated, LN uses the end date of the originating plan period as the requirement
			 date.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>If you define more
			 than one supplier, LN splits purchase plan quantities over multiple suppliers in the usual way.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Lot sizing rules are
			 taken into account. As a result, the plan quantities and the generated order
			 quantities do not always match exactly. If for one plan period the total order
			 quantity exceeds the original plan quantity, LN reduces the order
			 quantity for the next plan period accordingly.</ListItem>
         </List>
      </Note>
      <Paragraph>You do not need to
		convert production plan quantities and purchase plan quantities to planned
		orders before LN can
		transfer them to the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000027" role="glossary">execution level</Link>. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/pat/cppat1210m000" role="session">Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000)</GUIRef> session, you can also directly transfer
		production plans and purchase plans.</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>LN only
		  moves purchase plans to planned orders, and not to purchase schedule
		  quantities. See also <Link href="/baanerp/cp/onlinemanual/000078" role="manual">Purchase schedules and Enterprise Planning</Link>.</Paragraph>
