Working with Season Codes (WSEA)
Purpose: A season code represents a season, such as winter 2006. You use season codes to group offers together for reporting or querying. For example, you can group offers associated with the season code "spring 2006" in order to review how profitable the offers are for that specific year.
Season codes assigned to offers are also used when you define shipping date restrictions for weather-sensitive items such as plant stock. For example, the spring start date for shipping bare root plants would be different from the fall start date for shipping bare root plants. See Shipping Zone Reservation Overview, for more information on setting up shipping zone restrictions for weather-sensitive items.
You assign season codes to an offer in Working with Offers (WOFR).
