         <Paragraph>A <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000100" role="glossary">firm-planned</Link> order serves as
		  a sort of additional time fence: ERP Enterprise does not generate planned orders before the
		  last firm-planned order. If necessary, ERP Enterprise generates
		  reschedule-in messages. However, you can override this rule by selecting the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd0100m000#cprpd000.fipl" role="manual">Planned Order before Firm/Actual</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd0100m000" role="session">Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>ERP Enterprise determines the end date and time for the
		  simulated time period with the following formula:</Paragraph>
         <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
            <Paragraph>End point = current date + order horizon - 1 second</Paragraph>
         </Formula>
