			<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0160m000" role="session">Freight Order Types (fmfmd0160m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define default values for freight order types. When a freight order type is allocated to a freight order, the default values of the freight order type are added to the freight order. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0165m000" role="session">Freight Order Type - Defaults (fmfmd0165m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define default values for a freight order type. To define a default value, select the relevant attribute and enter the required value. The following attributes are available:</Paragraph>
			<List><ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0165m000#fmfmd065.sfco" role="formfield">Shipping Office</GUIRef>. This applies only to manually created freight orders. For freight orders generated from originating orders, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0165m000#fmfmd065.sfco" role="formfield">Shipping Office</GUIRef> is determined by the warehouse of the originating order or the order type of the originating order. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/fm/onlinemanual/000039" role="manual">Freight order types by order origin and shipping office</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/fm/onlinemanual/000037" role="manual">Freight order grouping</Link>.</ListItem>
