      <Paragraph>To subcontract freight order lines to a carrier for
		transportation, you can create load plans for the freight order lines and offer
		the planned loads to the carrier, or you can offer clustered freight order
		lines for which no load building is performed. In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight</GUIRef>, you can
		either use load building or freight order line clustering to subcontract a
		particular freight order line.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To indicate whether a freight order line is available for
		freight order line clustering or load building, the load planning attribute has
		been introduced. This attribute is a check box labeled <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0165m000#fmfmd065.ldpl" role="manual">Load Planning</GUIRef>. This check box is available for
		various entities, such as Transport Types, Transport Means Groups, and so on,
		as you can see in the following sections of this topic. If you select this
		check box for any of these entities, freight order lines referenced by these
		entities are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the
		associated freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering.
		The load planning attribute is added to the following sessions. For each of the
		following sessions, the impact of the load planning attribute is described.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0165m000#fmfmd065.ldpl" role="manual">Load Planning</GUIRef> check box is selected for the default
		values of a particular freight order type, freight orders and freight order
		lines that have this freight order type are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the
		associated freight orders and freight order lines are available for freight
		order line clustering. In this way, you can establish that freight orders with
		particular properties, which are defined as freight order type default values,
		must be clustered, and freight orders without these properties must be planned.</Paragraph>

		transport type, freight order lines linked to this transport type are available
		for load building. If this check box is cleared, the associated freight
		order lines are available for freight order line clustering. In this way, you
		can accomplish that freight order lines that require particular transport
		conditions must be clustered, and others must be planned.</Paragraph>

		are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the
		associated freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering.
		In this way, you can accomplish that freight order lines that require
		particular means of transport and/or transport conditions must be clustered,
		and all other types of freight order lines must be planned.</Paragraph>
