Segment notes:
Segmentstatus: Conditional

The use of the FTX segment in free form is not recommended since in most cases it inhibits automatic processing of the Invoice. Coded references to standard texts is an available functionality which enables automatic processing and reduces transmission and processing overheads. Standard texts should be mutually defined among trading partners and can be used to cover legal or other requirements.
The existence of this FTX segment has no influence on the procedure of the message, e.g. the reason of subsequent delivery can be provided.
 
Example: FTX+ZZZ+1++FREIER TEXT:FREETEXT:FREIER TEXT:FREE TEXT:FREIER TEXT+DE'
