               <Paragraph>You can start the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5120m000" role="session">Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000)</Link> session from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs" role="module">Project Control</GUIRef> module,

				or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5101s000" role="session">Product Variants (tipcf5101s000)</GUIRef> session. The product configurator is used to
