         <Paragraph>For each <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000001" role="glossary">item</Link> that is processed by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight</GUIRef>, you can
		  select a <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#Units_tc" role="glossary">unit</Link> and specify the
		  dimensions as they apply to transportation. You can overwrite the default
		  values. The default values of the item dimensions are taken from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4500m000" role="session">Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Often, items are
		  repacked for transportation. Items can be packed in more voluminous packing
		  material for protection or they can be packed together in boxes, pallets, and
		  so on.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>For example, milk
		  cartons are put on trays, sealed together, and put on pallets for
		  transportation. To plan for the transportation of milk cartons, you must know
		  the size of a pallet. For that purpose, pallets are defined as a unit in LN. In the current
		  session, you could select pallet as a unit for the milk carton item and specify
		  the dimensions of the pallet.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>If you define a unit
		  for an item and specify dimensions for the unit, the unit and the dimensions
		  are defaulted to freight orders in which the item is listed. If you do not
		  define a unit for an item, the item default data are defaulted to the freight
		  orders. The default value 0.0000 in an item dimension field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd1110m000#dimensions" role="groupbox">Dimensions</GUIRef> group box means that this dimension is not
		  available for load building or rough planning.</Paragraph>
