      <Paragraph>A <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0160m000#fmfmd060.foty" role="manual">Freight Order Type</GUIRef> is a code that is used for the following purposes:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>To classify freight
		  orders</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To provide freight
		  orders with default values</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To determine the
		  planning group of the freight order lines of the freight orders to which the
		  freight order type is allocated.</ListItem>

         <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Description</GUIRef> of a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0160m000#fmfmd060.foty" role="manual">Freight Order Type</GUIRef>,
		  you can provide some information about the freight orders to which it is
		  allocated, such as the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0166m000#fmfmd066.oorg" role="manual">Order Origin</GUIRef> of the

         <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0160m000" role="session">Freight Order Types (fmfmd0160m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define default values for freight
		  order types. When a freight order type is allocated to a freight order, the
		  default values of the freight order type are added to the freight order. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0165m000" role="session">Freight Order Type - Defaults (fmfmd0165m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define default values for
		  a freight order type. To define a default value, select the relevant attribute
		  and enter the required value. The following attributes are
		  available:</Paragraph>
