         <ListIntro>The workload control planning method can operate in two ways:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Based on production
        volumes (quantities)</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Based on the value of
        production volumes</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>The way the planning
      process operates is determined by the values of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.macs" role="manual">Consider Material Costs</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.prcs" role="manual">Consider Production Costs</GUIRef> check boxes in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000" role="session">Work Load Control Parameters (cpwlc2101m000)</GUIRef> session. The performance indicators in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2520m000" role="session">Work Load Control Performance Indicators (cpwlc2520m000)</GUIRef> session are displayed
      accordingly.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.macs" role="manual">Consider Material Costs</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.prcs" role="manual">Consider Production Costs</GUIRef> check boxes are both cleared, ERP Enterprise plans in terms of volumes.
        Whenever the production plan must be changed because of constraints, ERP Enterprise minimizes the changes in terms of the total quantity produced ahead or behind
        schedule.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>If at least one of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.macs" role="manual">Consider Material Costs</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/wlc/cpwlc2101m000#cpwlc200.prcs" role="manual">Consider Production Costs</GUIRef> check boxes is selected, ERP Enterprise will plan in terms of value. If
        the production plan must be changed because of constraints, ERP Enterprise minimizes
        the changes in terms of the total value of the items that are produced later or
        earlier. The production value is defined as:</Paragraph>
         <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
            <Paragraph> Production volume x (Material and/or Production Costs) </Paragraph>
         </Formula>
