      <Paragraph>Order settings in general
		define the way an item is ordered (order policy), how purchase and production
		orders are planned (order system) and the order quantity calculation method
		(order method). Order quantity settings are order settings used for determining
		the recommended order quantities.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The recommended order
		quantity for planned orders is determined by the combination of the order
		quantity settings and the selected order method.</Paragraph>
