This activity code is used to define the maximum number of region code definitions that can be used for carrier price lists.

Recommended values

It is difficult to identify a value for this parameter, which essentially relates to the complexity of the carrier price lists, but a value between 100 and 300 is normally reasonable (it is possible to exceed this if necessary).

It should be noted that the BPW code, which is used to define the maximum number of weight bands in the price list lines, and the BPY code, which is used to define the number of lines in the price lists are linked to this activity code. In effect, it should be noted that it is possible to have the same region code associated with many postal code roots, but a region can only have one price list line ; the value of the SPC code is therefore greater than or equal to the value given to the BPY code.

Remarks

For each carrier, it is possible to define in a grid,(Region tab), an association between a triplet ( site code, country codes, postal code root) and a region code. The screen that is used to enter these associations is sized with the help of this parameter, which therefore has no sizing effect on the database.
