This data element is only used when non coded free text has been provided in data element C108.
This segment is used to specify any free text information relevant to the delivery schedule message.
Use of this segment in free form is not recommended since it may inhibit automatic processing of the delivery schedule. Coded references to standard text 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 and other requirements.

Example:
FTX+ZZZ+1+001:23:2+1:1:1:1:1+EN'
Example:
