            <Paragraph>A rate basis number is allocated to a shipment, load, order

            <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg" role="module">Pricing</GUIRef> module, freight rate books are linked to rate basis numbers. A
		  rate basis number allocated to a shipment, load, and so on, will in turn point

            <Paragraph>Each freight order line is allocated to a planning group.
		  Freight order lines with different planning groups cannot be in the same

            <Paragraph>From a hierarchical perspective, the planning group is one
		  level below the shipping office. A shipping office has one or more planning
		  groups. Freight orders are grouped into shipping offices, the underlying

		  office.</Paragraph>
