      <Paragraph>A planned PRP order comes from a budget requirement and is an
		order advise that you can transfer to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/procurement" role="package">Procurement</GUIRef> or
		Warehouse Management.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Planned PRP warehouse orders generated in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/pss/tppss6200m000" role="session">Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000)</GUIRef> session or manually entered, are first
		confirmed using the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/pss/tppss6225m000" role="session">Approve Planned PRP Warehouse Orders (tppss6225m000)</GUIRef> session. These confirmed PRP warehouse orders are then transferred to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehousing</GUIRef> as
		actual orders.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/procurement" role="package">Procurement</GUIRef>, PRP advises can be combined using the
		commingle option, thereby limiting the number of orders. <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehousing</GUIRef> does
		not provide the commingling functionality. As a result, each warehouse order
		must be processed separately, involving some administrative overhead. You can
		also combine PRP orders in the PSS module itself.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can only combine Planned PRP warehouse orders if the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Combine Orders</GUIRef> group box is selected.</Paragraph>
      <List>
