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.
