      <Paragraph>If you want to use fixed
		moments for the delivery of goods that you supply, for example, every Friday
		afternoon, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> can take this into account in the planning process.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can define incidental <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#416" role="glossary">fixed delivery moments</Link> on a specific date, or a pattern of fixed delivery moments for
		recurring fixed delivering.</Paragraph>

      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>To define a fixed delivery pattern, take the following
		  steps:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Create <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000030" role="glossary">pattern</Link> that defines a set of <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000458" role="glossary">pattern moments</Link>. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000375" role="manual">To define patterns</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Define a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000306" role="glossary">fixed delivery code</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd2110m000" role="session">Fixed Delivery Codes (cprpd2110m000)</GUIRef> session, link the fixed delivery code to a
		  pattern, and select the appropriate supply sources for which ERP Enterprise must apply the fixed
		  delivery code.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Link the appropriate fixed delivery code to a plan item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd1100m000" role="session">Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>

      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>If you have set up fixed-delivery data, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> uses
		  fixed deliveries in <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000060" role="glossary">order planning</Link>, according to
		  the following process:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>First, ERP Enterprise calculates the planned finish date of, for example, a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000047" role="glossary">planned production order</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Next, ERP Enterprise shifts the unconstrained date to the first available fixed
		  delivery date before the unconstrained date.</ListItem>
