         <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight</GUIRef> is the package in LN that handles
		transportation requirements. <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef> is linked with <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight</GUIRef>. The purpose of the integration
		between <GUIRef href="/baanerp/sales" role="package">Sales</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight</GUIRef> is to
		identify and choose the appropriate means of transportation during order entry.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The integration between <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/sales" role="package">Sales</GUIRef> includes the

            <ListIntro>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc" role="module">Freight Order Control</GUIRef>, two types of planning exist:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>Rough planning, which

            <ListItem>Load building, which

			 loads can be exchanged and information can be shared between <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/foc" role="module">Freight Order Control</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/sales" role="package">Sales</GUIRef>.</ListItem>

		  sales quotation entry, a carrier is automatically or manually selected. Based
		  on several factors, such as the invoicing method, item, freight class, service

            <ListIntro>The freight invoice amount that you must pay to the
