				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.reltype#seqschedule" role="enum">Sequence Shipping Schedule</GUIRef>: over the short term (in general a period of twenty days of which five days are fixed), sequence shipping information is communicated.

If a reference exists from a sales release line/sales release position detail to a sales schedule line, the referenced sales schedule line contains a unique reference ID, which is displayed in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls3107m000#tdsls307.refe" role="formfield">Reference</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls3107m000" role="session">Sales Schedule - Lines (tdsls3107m000)</GUIRef> session.
