No. of Carrier Regions

Recommended values

It is difficult to identify a value in advance for this parameter, which essentially depends on the complexity of the carrier prices lists encountered (this must be the maximum number of regions that are expected to be managed within the carrier price list).

Functions impacted

The following functions are impacted by the activity code  :

  Common data > BPs > Carriers

Remarks

For each carrier, it is possible to define, in this grid, the price list lines by weight range associated with the different regions (a line by region). The screen that is used to enter these price list lines is sized with the help of this parameter, which therefore has no sizing effect on the database.

The BPW code, which is used to define the maximum number of weight ranges in the price list lines and the SPC code, which is used to define the maximum of links between the postal code roots and the regions (the value of this code must therefore be greater than that of BPY, because it is possible to have several postal code roots for a region, but a single price list by region) are the other activity codes linked to the management of carriers.
