Code value '335' should be used to book transport space for multiple consignments. When using this code it is not necessary to provide all of the goods items details as these will be fully specified in the subsequent multiple transport instruction (code value '610').
While the code values '335' and '610' are also used in the IFTMBF and IFTMIN messages respectively the uniqueness of their application in these messages and the IFCSUM message is guaranteed by the combination of the data element 1001 code value and the data element 0065 code value in the UNH segment.
