Add Shipping Region

Before you can set-up and apply rates and regions, you must first make sure you have the shipping regions set-up that you are going to use for your merchandise inventory, such as Eastern US or Europe. To set up the shipping regions that you plan to use for your organization's products, you use the Shipping Tab and Shipping Region child form in Inventory Setup.

The second child form under the Shipping tab is the Shipping Region child form. Use the Shipping Region child form to specify which region your carrier uses to ship your inventory to customers who purchase your products. For example, your organization can use the following regions in the US: Eastern US, Central US, and Western US.

To add Shipping Regions and Region Description, use the following steps:

  1. Go to Modules>Inventory>Overview>Product Setup>Shipping tab>Shipping Region Child Form.
  2. Click the Add button. The Add-Shipping Region page opens.
  3. Fill in the following fields:
    1. shipping region: Required. Enter the name of the shipping region. For example, your organization can use the following regions in America: Eastern US, Canada, and Mexico.
    2. description: Optional. Enter your organization's description of this region. An example of a region description might be, "states along the US eastern seaboard from Maine to Florida."
  4. Click the Save button to add your region and description and return to the Product Setup page. Click the Cancel button to return to the Product Setup page without saving your changes.
