      <Paragraph>The supplying relationships model the distribution structure for
		Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP). Supplying relationships model a plan
		item to plan item relation and not a location-to-location relation. The plan
		item itself defines the location by the cluster code and the default warehouse
		of the plan item.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>You can define supplying relationships on three
		  levels:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>On plan item level</ListItem>
         <ListItem>On cluster level</ListItem>
         <ListItem>On the level of item group</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>
         <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> searches for supplying relationships on each level (first on
		plan item level, then on cluster level, and so on) until an applicable
		supplying relationship is found.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Capable-to-Promise (CTP) checks are also performed by using
		supplying relations but never more than only one level deep.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The following table explains some of the parameter settings in
		this session.</Paragraph>
