    Each relates back to a different way of planning.

    Item: can be for order or stock based demand. These orders can be created manually but usually created with the planning tools NAV possesses - MRP and MPS. Could relate back to many orders of planning on that basis.

    Family: you build up a collection of finished good or sub assembly items that use a common routing against them. This is done manually only and is outside of the planning tools.

    Sales Header: on a sales order you can plan to have the order created as a production order. This is then a single linked order only.

    I’d say the most common methods are Item and Sales Header.
