Individual Zip Codes

Access

Support Files: Sales Tax, Route Code, Country, and Warehouse Location.

Tabs:  General, Regional Settings

Use this routine to specify delivery information for a zip code. You can specify multiple delivery or service route codes for a ship location. Use the Individual Zip Code file to:

• specify a default for each zip code.  In this way, you can default the ship-from location for orders based on the zip code of the customer's ship-to address.

• indicate tax jurisdictions for sales orders including state, county, and municipality jurisdictions, based on the zip code of the customer's ship-to address.

• designate the Delivery, Transfer, and Service route codes, as well as the Delivery Stop Time.

You can also specify routes codes by region. For example, if you have two shipping destinations within the same zip code that receive deliveries from separate locations and separate trucks, you can create two regions within the zip code and build your delivery codes that way.  

New zip codes that have been built on-the-fly Performed simultaneously, in the midst of another routine. For example, creating a new product during sales entry rather than leaving the sales process to create the product in product settings. list on the End-of-Day report. This allows review by the manager to ensure the normal ship location and tax codes are properly set.

To update a range of zip codes at one time, use the Update Zip Code Settings.

If entering the code for a location in the United States, enter the code in either a 5 digit or 9 digit format as follows: NNNNN or NNNNN-NNNN (hyphen must be entered). If other than U.S., enter the code according to that country’s format, as established in the Country record.

For delivery orders, when determining a default ship-from location, the order entry processes reference the Default - Ship From Location field in the Point of Sale Control Settings.  If that field is empty, order entry defaults the ship-to location based on the location associated with the zip code of the delivery address.  That is, order entry identifies the zip code of the delivery address, then defaults the location specified in this field for that zip code.

Whenever the selected zip code appears in the ship-to address for a delivery order, the route code you specify here defaults, thus determining the available delivery dates for the order.  The dates display via the Calendar Icon at the Next Date field in the order-entry process. If you have security permission, you can override the default route code via the Route field in the order entry Fulfillment Information section.

Delivery Stop TimeEnter the delivery stop time (if any) you want to associate with this zip code.  STORIS uses this field for informational and also for sort purposes on the delivery manifest.  STORIS recommends indicating stop times here only if using delivery scheduling and manifesting, as stop times are usually assigned in specific orders.

Transfer Route CodeEnter the route code you want the system to default when creating transfers to this zip code.  If you click on the Search button, a list of transfer-type route codes appears from which you can choose.

STORIS requires you enter a route code when completing a transfer manifest.  If a default transfer route code does not exist in the in the Warehouse/Store Location Settings for the transfer location on the order, the system checks here for a default transfer route code.  If a default code is not found, you must enter one manually into the transfer manifest.
