Assign Freight Zones
Explanation
This activity is used to assign freight zones to supply chain matrix records.
The required assigning can be performed for all records, specified sites or
specified ship-via codes. The zones in these records will be used for freight
calculation when entering customer order lines.
You can either assign freight zones directly, or schedule the task as a background
job. Scheduled
tasks can be seen in Database Task Schedules page.
Observe that it is possible to enter the zones manually without running this
activity.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites.
- The appropriate zone map should have been created with the zone defined.
- The appropriate supply chain matrix record should exist.
System Effects
- The values for Zone Definition ID and the Zone Map ID
in the Site to Customer Supply Chain Parameters,
Supplier to Customer Supply Chain Parameters
and Site
to Site Supply Chain Parameters pages, and the
Supply Chain Matrix for Customer/From External Supplier
and Supply Chain Matrix for Customer/From
Supply Site tabs will get updated accordingly. However if
freight zones have been assigned manually, even if an automatic assigning
job is run, manually entered values will remain.
