A network zone can be considered a group of zip codes and can be useful when sending shipments to different parts of a country. To start working with a network zone go to:
Prepare -> Network zones
Here you can either search for pre-existing zones or create new ones. For the purposes of this article we will press "Add new".
In this view there are three parameters to configure:
Country
The country of the network zone.
Node
Determines whether or not the zone is to be connected with a network node.
Zone name
A name for the zone.
Click on "Save" to continue to the second part of the setup:
The second screen defines what zip areas to include in the current zone, here are a few pointers to help you get started:
It is possible to create Zipareas only with one zipcode. In this case add the same zipcode to both From Ziparea and To Ziparea.
Letters and digits may be used to define a ziparea interval.
The comparison of zipcodes is made from left to right when using alphanumeric characters. The system is not case sensitive so it’s possible to write with big or small letters.
A letter has a higher value than a number.
When you are done press "Save". You have now created a network zone.
