Assign Freight Zones
Explanation
This activity is used to assign freight zones to supply
chain matrix records. The required assigning can be performed for all records,
specified sites or specified ship-via codes. The
zones in these records will be used for freight calculation when entering

You can either assign freight zones directly, or
schedule the task as a background job.
Observe that it is possible to enter the
zones manually without running this activity.
