      <Paragraph>The estimated quantities
		of the materials of a production order are calculated in the following way:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>The exploded quantity
		  is calculated, based on the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri_ti" role="glossary">BOM</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000041" role="glossary">quantity ordered</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100105" role="glossary">quantity planned input</Link> is
		  determined.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The estimated quantity
		  is calculated, based on the net quantity, the quantity planned input and any <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Scrap_ti" role="glossary">scrap</Link> quantity or percentage
		  defined for the material.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Exploded quantity</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The exploded quantity
		  is based on the net quantity in the BOM. For example, according to the BOM, 20
		  screws are needed to produce a box. 30 boxes are ordered. Consequently, the
		  exploded quantity is 600 (=20x30) screws.</Paragraph>

      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Quantity planned input</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The estimated material
		  quantity is based on the quantity planned input of the operation to which the
		  material is linked. If the production order has no operations, the quantity
		  planned input is simply the quantity ordered of the production order. The
		  calculation of the quantity planned input is explained in topic <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000027" role="manual">Planned quantity to manufacture</Link>.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>The estimated quantity is calculated with the following
		  formula:</Paragraph>
         <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
            <Paragraph>Estimated quantity =
(Net quantity x (1+ scrap factor/100%) + scrap quantity) x planned quantity factor</Paragraph>
         </Formula>
         <List>
            <ListIntro>Where:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>Net quantity: required
			 material quantity, disregarding scrap and yield.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Scrap factor: scrap
			 factor defined for the material in the BOM.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Scrap quantity: scrap
			 quantity defined for the material in the BOM.</ListItem>
         </List>
         <Paragraph>The planned quantity
		  factor is defined by the following formula:</Paragraph>
         <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
            <Paragraph>Planned quantity factor = 
Quantity planned input of current operation/quantity planned output of last operation</Paragraph>
         </Formula>
         <Paragraph>This calculation is
		  illustrated in <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000029" role="manual">Example of estimating materials</Link>.</Paragraph>
