The identification code of a freight order cluster.
Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3100m000)Use this session to view and maintain freight order clusters generated in the Generate Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3200m000) session. In the current session, freight order cluster headers are maintained. In the Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000), which is accessible from the toolbar or the Print submenu of the File menu, you can print the subcontracting instructions for freight order clusters.
