	<AimSection><Paragraph>Cluster headers and cluster lines have various sets of statuses. Cluster header statuses indicate the progress of the cluster during the freight order cluster subcontracting process. Cluster header statuses are displayed in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc3100m000" role="session">Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3100m000)</GUIRef> session. Cluster line statuses have the same status as the corresponding freight order lines. Cluster line statuses are displayed in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc3101m000" role="session">Freight Order Cluster Lines (fmfoc3101m000)</GUIRef> session. These statuses indicate the progress during inbound or outbound warehouse processing and transport. In a technical sense, cluster header statuses and cluster line statuses bear no relation to each other.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>Freight order lines with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#plnd" role="enum">Planned</GUIRef> status are planned using the load building engine. Freight order lines that are planned by the load building engine, or are available for load building, cannot be used for freight order line clustering. A freight order line is available for load building if the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc2101m000#fmfoc201.ldpl" role="formfield">Load Planning</GUIRef> check box is selected. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/fm/onlinemanual/000055" role="manual">The load planning attribute</Link>.</Paragraph>
