            <Paragraph>Each scenario represents one overall planning solution, and
		  involves particular settings for the planning of items and resources. You can
		  use scenarios to analyze and compare various planning options and to find the
		  best planning solution. For example, you can vary demand forecasts or sourcing
		  strategies.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>One of the scenarios is the actual scenario, which
		  corresponds with the actual planning situation. You can only transfer planned
		  orders and production plans from the actual scenario to the execution level of ERP Enterprise.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>A group of similar plan items or families is called a product
		  family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one
