			<List><ListIntro>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc" role="module">Freight Order Control</GUIRef>, two types of planning exist:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>Rough planning, which is used for long-term capacity planning.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Load building, which is the actual execution time plan of the shipments and loads. To ship the goods, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc" role="module">Freight Order Control</GUIRef> must know the shipments that must be moved over a period of time. If <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef> is responsible for creating the freight order, the progress of the shipment and loads can be exchanged and information can be shared between <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc" role="module">Freight Order Control</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef>.</ListItem>

			<Paragraph>During sales order entry or sales quotation entry, you can zoom to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight Management</GUIRef> to select the most suitable carrier. Based on several factors, such as the invoicing method, item, freight class, service level, transport type, and transport means group, the freight invoice amount is then retrieved from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg" role="module">Pricing Control</GUIRef>. SSA ERP prints the calculated invoice amount on the order acknowledgement.</Paragraph>
