         <Paragraph>To use a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0180m000#fmfmd080.sofc" role="manual">Shipping Office</GUIRef> for
		  load building and freight order clustering purposes, you must link the shipping
		  office to one or more warehouses, planning groups, and matrix definitions. To
		  link a shipping office to warehouses, planning groups, matrix definitions, and
		  login codes, you must use the options on the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu to run the
		  relevant sessions. For efficiency reasons, link shipping offices to these
		  entities in the following order:</Paragraph>
