	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Clustered</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>After a freight order cluster is generated, you can manually change the cluster header information in the following fields:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItemHead>Carrier</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>This field shows the carrier that SSA ERP found during the clustering process, or that was entered for the freight order lines related to the current cluster. You can change the carrier in this field if you want to subcontract the cluster to a carrier other than the one found by SSA ERP or entered on the corresponding freight order lines. This field is empty if SSA ERP cannot find a suitable carrier, or if no carrier was entered manually on the freight order lines from which the cluster was generated. In such cases, you can manually enter a carrier. This also applies to binding carriers. A binding carrier is a carrier entered on a freight order line that SSA ERP cannot override during the load building or clustering process. To insert a binding carrier, enter a carrier and select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc2101m000#fmfoc201.cbin" role="formfield">Carrier Binding</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc2101m000" role="session">Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Transport means group</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>This field shows the transport means group that SSA ERP found during the clustering process, or that was entered for the freight order lines related to the current cluster. You can change the transport means group in this field if you want the cluster to be transported by means of a transport means group other than the one found by SSA ERP or entered on the corresponding freight order lines. This field is empty if SSA ERP cannot find a suitable transport means group, or if no transport means group was entered manually on the freight order lines from which the cluster was generated. In such cases, you can manually enter a transport means group.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Planned load date</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>The default value in this field is taken from the freight order lines related to the cluster. If a different date is known from the carrier, you can enter the new date in this field.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Planned unload date</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>The default value in this field is taken from the freight order lines related to the cluster. If a different date is known from the carrier, you can enter the new date in this field.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Planned distance</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>The planned distance is taken from the freight order lines related to the cluster. If a different distance is known from the carrier, you can enter the new distance in this field.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Estimated freight costs</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>The estimated freight costs are calculated during the clustering process, if freight rates are maintained for the carrier selected or entered for the cluster. If required, you can manually change the estimated freight costs, or recalculate the estimated freight costs. To recalculate the freight costs, click the relevant option on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Specific</GUIRef> menu.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Calculate additional cost option</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>You can select or clear this check box for clusters with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#clus" role="enum">Clustered</GUIRef> status. For example, if you calculated the additional costs, but later on agree with the carrier not to pay any additional costs, you can clear this check box and recalculate the freight costs.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Freight all kinds</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>If the carrier is changed, changing this field might also be required. Freight all kinds is a special freight cost rating agreement with the carrier. If the carrier and the transport requestor agree on rating according to Freight all kinds, the official freight classes of the items will be substituted by the Freight all kinds agreement. In SSA ERP, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/frc/fmfrc0160m000#fmfrc060.frak" role="formfield">Freight All Kinds</GUIRef> is defined as special freight class.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Carrier pro number</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>If the carrier is changed, changing this field might also be required. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/lbd/fmlbd4100m000#fmlbd400.cpro" role="formfield">Carrier PRO Number</GUIRef> is the number given by the carrier to identify the load. The carrier uses this number to track the load.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Calculate tax</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>You can select this option if tax must be calculated. Changing the setting of this check box might be required if a different carrier is selected.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Tax country</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>Changing the setting of this check box might be required if a different carrier is selected.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Cluster text</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In this field, you can add some general information about the cluster.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>To change cluster line information</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>For a cluster line, you can change the following information:</Paragraph>
			<List><ListItemHead>Planned load date of the line, not the header</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>The default value in this field is taken from the freight order lines related to the cluster. If a different date is known from the carrier, you can enter the new date in this field.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Planned unload date of the line, not the header</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>The default value in this field is taken from the freight order lines related to the cluster. If a different date is known from the carrier, you can enter the new date in this field.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Actual load date</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>If the freight order line related to the cluster line has a warehousing order line, the actual load date is filled by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> with the actual shipping or receipt date. If the freight order line related to the cluster line has no warehousing order line, the actual load date is filled with the date on which the status of the cluster line was changed to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#shpd" role="enum">Shipped</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#cmld" role="enum">Completed</GUIRef> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/lbd/fmlbd3252m000" role="session">Confirm Delivery / Receipt (fmlbd3252m000)</GUIRef> session. You can also manually enter a date, or change the date generated by SSA ERP.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Actual unload date</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>If the freight order line related to the cluster line has a warehousing order line, the actual unload date is filled by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> with the actual shipping or receipt date. If the freight order line related to the cluster line has no warehousing order line, the actual load date is filled with the date on which the status of the cluster line was changed to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#shpd" role="enum">Shipped</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#cmld" role="enum">Completed</GUIRef> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/lbd/fmlbd3252m000" role="session">Confirm Delivery / Receipt (fmlbd3252m000)</GUIRef> session. You can also manually enter a date, or change the date generated by SSA ERP.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Shipped quantity</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>If the freight order line related to the cluster line has a warehousing order line, the shipped quantity is filled by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> with the shipped or received quantity. If the freight order line related to the cluster line has no warehousing order line, the shipped quantity is filled with the planned quantity. You can also manually enter a quantity, or change the quantity generated by SSA ERP.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Delivered quantity</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>If the freight order line related to the cluster line has a warehousing order line, the delivered quantity is filled by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> with the shipped or received quantity. If the freight order line related to the cluster line has no warehousing order line, the shipped quantity is filled with the planned quantity. You can also manually enter a quantity, or change the quantity generated by SSA ERP.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Damaged quantity</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>Usually, this quantity is filled when the goods have been delivered and any information on damaged goods is known from the carrier.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Shipped capacity</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>The shipped capacity is derived from the shipped quantity.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Delivered capacity</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>The delivered capacity is derived from the shipped quantity.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Planned additional rate quantities</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>The additional rate quantity for the item before transportation has taken place. The default value in this field is taken from the freight order line related to the cluster line.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Shipped additional rate quantities</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>As a rule, you must enter this figure when the shipped quantity is known from the carrier. If the freight order line related to the cluster line has a warehousing order line, the shipped additional rate quantity is filled by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> with the shipped or received quantity. If the freight order line related to the cluster line has no warehousing order line, the shipped additional rate quantity is filled with the planned quantity. You can also manually enter a quantity, or change the quantity generated by SSA ERP.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>The Recalculate for Invoice Amount check box</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/fm/fri/fmfri0110m000" role="session">Freight Invoicing Information (fmfri0110m000)</Link>.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>Estimated freight costs</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>For example, if no freight rates are maintained for a particular carrier, you might want to enter freight costs manually.</ListItem>
				<ListItemHead>To change freight order line information</ListItemHead>
				<ListItem>You cannot change freight order line information such as planned quantity and capacity, service level, or terms of delivery, on the freight order cluster or cluster line. This type of change is made on the corresponding freight order line or originating order line.</ListItem>

		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>To add lines to a cluster</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>To add freight order lines to a cluster with the Clustered status, you must cluster the new freight order lines first. Freight order lines whose properties match those of the cluster lines of the cluster will be added to the cluster. For freight order lines whose properties do not match, a new cluster is generated.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You can manually add additional cost lines to a cluster.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Delete clusters and cluster lines</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>You can delete individual cluster lines from a cluster, or the entire freight order cluster including all cluster lines. Freight order lines corresponding to cluster lines that are deleted can be clustered again.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
	</GeneralSection>
	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Actual</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>When you decide to make a cluster <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#actl" role="enum">Actual</GUIRef>, most of the cluster data are definite and changes are less likely to be made, except for information such as actually shipped quantities and capacities or actual costs. Nevertheless, in the interest of caution, ERP enables you to manually change the same data for <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#actl" role="enum">Actual</GUIRef> clusters as for <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#clus" role="enum">Clustered</GUIRef> clusters.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>For a cluster that has the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#actl" role="enum">Actual</GUIRef> status, you cannot rerun the clustering process to add freight order lines. If you want to add cluster lines to an <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#actl" role="enum">Actual</GUIRef> cluster, you must use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc3100m000#undo.actual" role="formcommand">Undo Actualize</GUIRef> option to set the cluster’s status back to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#clus" role="enum">Clustered</GUIRef> and then rerun the clustering process. However, if the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#actl" role="enum">Actual</GUIRef> cluster includes lines that have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#shpd" role="enum">Shipped</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#cmld" role="enum">Completed</GUIRef> status, you cannot use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc/fmfoc3100m000#undo.actual" role="formcommand">Undo Actualize</GUIRef> option. In such cases, you must generate a new cluster for the new freight order lines.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If a cluster status is reverted to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#clus" role="enum">Clustered</GUIRef>, the cluster lines for the component items of a Bill of Materials (BOM) are removed from the cluster line.</Paragraph>
	</GeneralSection>
	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Subcontracted</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>If a cluster has the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#subc" role="enum">Subcontracted</GUIRef> status, you can no longer change the cluster, the cluster lines, the corresponding freight order lines, or the originating order lines, except for the actual data. The actual data constitute the following information:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItem>Actual distance</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Shipped quantities</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Delivered quantities</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Damaged quantities</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Actual load and unload dates</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Actual freight costs (these are updated when the invoice from the carrier is approved in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/acp" role="module">Accounts Payable</GUIRef> module of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef>.)</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>You can also set <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.clst#subc" role="enum">Subcontracted</GUIRef> cluster lines to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#igno" role="enum">Ignored</GUIRef>. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/fm/onlinemanual/000065" role="manual">Ignore cluster lines</Link>.</Paragraph>
