Please find below my comments on the FI document assembly as given in
the latest spreadsheet.  If it helps i have also edited the spreadsheet
(attached) with my proposals.


Row 2: Forwarding Instruction. Other Instruction. Text

The Property Term Qualifier is "Other" and the Property Term Primary
Noun is "Instruction" - it is an Instruction qualified as being
"other".  In fact maybe it is just "Instruction" - how can we have an
"Other" when we don't have a normal Instruction?


Row 3: Forwarding Instruction. Customs Origin. Code

Isn't this "Country of Origin"?  If not what are some sample values? 
If it is then it is an ASBIE to Country with a quallifier of 'origin'
(like we do in Item)


Row 7: Forwarding Instruction. Shipping Order Number. Identifier

I know we call this a "number" - but it isn't.  We should do what we
did for Order Number and drop the term Number.  So the Property Term
Primary Noun is Identifier, the Property Term Possessive Noun is
"Order" and the Property Term Qualifier is "Shipping".  It is the
identifier of the order for the purpose of shipping.


Row 8: Forwarding Instruction. Consol Code. Identifier

I suspect this is the consolidator's ID (or Job number).   Firstly we
cannot have abbreviations (cannot use consol if we mean consolidator). 
Secondly is it a code?  Does it refer to another set of values that
have the actual meaning?  If so then it would be Consolidator_
Identification. Code.  IF not, then it is just Consolidator_ Job
Identifier.


Row 9: Forwarding Instruction. Total Unit. Quantity

The Property Term Qualifier is "Total" - it is a Unit that is qualified
as being the total units.


Rows 10-14: Forwarding Instruction. Net_ Weight. Measure, etc..

Again, the Property Term Qualifier is "Net"(etc..) - it is a weight
that is qualified as being the net weight.  (same applies for the other
weights and measures)


Row 15: Forwarding Instruction. Declared Customs Value. Amount

The Property Term Qualifier is "Declared" and Property Term Possessive
Noun is "Customs" and the Property Term Primary
Noun is "Amount" - it is an amount for customs purposes that is
actually declared.  NB the term "value" is redundant here as an amount
is always a monetary value.


Row 16: Forwarding Instruction. Declared Carriage Value. Amount

Similar to row 15, the Property Term Qualifier is "Declared" and
Property Term Possessive Noun is "Carriage" and the Property Term
Primary
Noun is "Amount" - it is an amount for carriage purposes that is
actually declared.


Row 17,18 and 19: Forwarding Instruction. FOB Value. Amount (and for
CIF and CFR)

We do this by making a 0..n association (ASBIE) with the Delivery Terms
ABIE.  I suspect this also makes the ASBIE to Incoterms in row 29 and
Terms and Conditions in row 30 redundant as well.


Row 25 (Booking) and 26 (Government Requirement) should appear on the
high level class diagram but I cannot see them.  Where are these
defined?


Row 34 (Package Quantity),35 (Container Quantity) and 36 (Qualified
Value) also need to be explained


Row 38 (Insurance Arrangement) also needs a definition


Row 39 (Document Request) it may be that this is similar to
Acknowledgement Response Code in the Order document.  That is, a set of
codes that describes the different document types that may be used to
trigger a shipment.  If not then i suspect it is just a qualifier in
the Document Reference.
