      <Paragraph>Distribution planning is based on supplying relationships,
		defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd7130m000" role="session">Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000)</GUIRef> session.
		Similar to purchase planning, first a supplying source (warehouse cluster) is
		chosen, after which the distribution order is planned.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>The lead time of the distribution order can be planned in two
		  ways:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>If the carrier is filled for the supplying relationship,
		  transportation time is used.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Without a carrier, the supply time from the supplying resource
		  is planned.</ListItem>
      </List>
   </GeneralSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <SectionTitle>Transportation time</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>If a carrier is provided in the supplying relationships,
		transportation time is planned between the addresses of the supplying warehouse
		and the receiving warehouse. The logic is the same as for planned purchase
		orders.</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>If no distance is defined for the addresses, the calculated
		  transport time is zero (no warning is given).</Paragraph>

		resource is used to link to the calendar.</Paragraph>
