Postal Areas

To edit the existing Postal Areas use the Postal Areas within the Planning Admin section of the Navigation bar. To add new ones use the Postal Codes screen within the Planning section of the Maintenance menu.

• Postal Areas

  • These tell the system which Delivery Areas goods will go to based on their Postcode or part of their Postcode.

Open

• Postal Area Code that you want to trap (and send to the Delivery Area Code entered below).

  • You can trap all deliveries to part or all of a Postcode.

    • Vision Distribution attempts to find the closest match starting from the left of the Postcode.

    • It could also be COLL to indicate a collection.

  • For example, if you wanted all deliveries to any Postcode starting in EC to go to the London Depot (which might be LDN)  you would just put EC in the Postal Area Code.

  • If you wanted to also trap any deliveries to a specific address (for example EC1V 3EQ - which might be another Warehouse) you can create a Postal Area just for that.

  • In the above examples, any Delivery with the EC1V 3EQ Postcode will be trapped by the Postal Area with the full Postcode and any others will be trapped by the EC Postal Area.

  • You can have any number of Postal Area Codes defined.

• You are able to Delete the Postal Areas
