Purpose: Use this menu option to create, change, delete, or display geographic zone information.

Use of geographic zones: Geographic zones are regions of the country which relate to relative weather conditions.

Each geographic zone will have a different date window during which particular kinds of stock can be shipped. See Chapter 53: Shipping Zone Reservation Overview.
