      <Paragraph>If an item has the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000006" role="glossary">item type</Link> 
         <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/kitm#purchase" role="option">Purchased</GUIRef>, you can create
      both purchase orders and production orders for the item. This can be useful if
      the item can be either made in-company or bought from an external supplier.</Paragraph>
      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>The procedure is as follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>You can define an item
        as a purchased item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0501m000" role="session">Items - General (tcibd0501m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>On the last tab of that
        session, you can click Production Data.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000" role="session">Items - Production (tiipd0101m000)</GUIRef> session starts, and you can enter the production data.</ListItem>
      </ProcedureList>
      <Paragraph>A purchased item can
      have a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri_ti" role="glossary">BOM</Link> and a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing_ti" role="glossary">routing</Link>, so you do not have
      to enter all materials and operations manually.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you do not define a
      BOM for a purchased item, ERP Enterprise will list the finished product itself as the
      only material in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/cst/ticst0101m000" role="session">Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
