Does anyone know which sessions should be run in Baan 5c Enterprising Planning to regenerate the plan? This seems like a stupid question but
it'd be nice to get an authoritative answer.

Our best guess at present (based in part on some consulting advice) is:
1. Initialise, Roll and Update Scenario
2. Simulate Master Plan
3. Simulate Orders

Trouble is, Baan help for the 'Online Update Item Master Plan' option in Simulate Orders says "If you want to simulate a large number of items,
you are recommended to clear the current check box. After simulation, you can simulate a master plan in the Simulate Master Plan
(cprmp1202m000) session if the Update Goods Flow check box is selected." This indicates that Simulate Orders goes *before* Simulate
Master Plan.

And there's a Baan document UP094A US, 'Resource Analysis and Optimization' which has a flow chart for the Signal Management Procedure
showing Plan Simulation *followed* by Initialise, Roll and Update Scenario.

So obviously there's some flexibility here. Can anybody give us some recommendations?

Thanks,

Your procedure is correct
============================================
Our best guess at present (based in part on some consulting advice) is:

3. Simulate Orders
==============================================
The question is if you need to run these sessions?
Initialise - is used to create a new plan.
Roll - Is used to roll your plan if you have a rolling plan.
Simulate Master Plan - Is used for planning for Master Based items. Result Production/Purchase Plan.
Simulate Orders - Used for Order Based Items. Result - Planned production/Purchase Orders.
See Plan Item Data to identify Master Based and Order Based horizon.
