    • Destination Postal Code

      Enter the United States ZIP code or the postal code that specifies where a shipment is to be routed. Attach this code to the address for delivery in other countries. This code is used as the low end value when you are doing Postal Code Transaction range processing.

    • Route Code

      Enter the user-defined code (42/RT) that represents the delivery route on which the customer resides. The freight summary facility uses data in this field as one of several factors to calculate potential freight charges for an order.

      For picking, use the route code with the stop and zone codes to group all of the items that are to be loaded onto a delivery vehicle for a specific route.

      You set up a default value for each of these fields on the Customer Billing Instruction form.

    • Zone

      Specify the user-defined code (40/ZN) that represents the delivery area in which the customer resides. The freight summary facility uses data in this field as one of several factors to calculate potential freight charges for an order.

      For picking, you can use the zone code with the route and stop codes to group all items that are to be loaded onto a delivery vehicle for a specific route.

      You set up the default value for each of these fields on the Customer Billing Instructions form.

    • Ctry (country)

      Enter the user-defined code (00/CN) that identifies a country. The country code has no effect on currency conversion.

      The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system uses the country code for data selection and address formatting.

    • County

      Enter the name of a county, parish, or other political district that is necessary for the address or for tax purposes.

    • Carrier Zone

      Enter the identifier that a carrier uses to specify a specific zone. For example, ZONE-21 might refer to a zone that a parcel carrier uses to determine the freight charge for deliveries to specific zip codes.

    • Outbound Rate Schedule

      Enter the schedule of freight and miscellaneous charges that are applied to a shipment.

    • Carrier Number

      Specify the carrier that is assigned to complete a shipment or part of a shipment. This could represent a common carrier or a private fleet.
