If the freight orders for which you want to create a load plan, or if the load plans that you want to modify do not belong to the shipping office that you selected when accessing this session, you can select another shipping office. For further information on freight order allocation to shipping offices, see <Link href="/baanerp/fm/onlinemanual/000037" role="manual">Freight order grouping</Link>.</Paragraph>
