Segment Notes:
This segment is used to provide any free text information related to the current line item.
Use of this segment in free form is not recommended since it may inhibit automatic processing of the Request for Quote. 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 and other requirements.

Example:
FTX+ZZZ+1+066::91'
'Standard text 066 = Please refer to latest contract and price catalogues for further information.'
