Hi
Can carrier zones in transportation management be used in places like Vietnam where you do not have the system of Postal codes? (Places in Vietnam are not identified by the postal codes). What could be the workaround that can be offered?
Thanks

srinivas,

The work-around would depend on what you wanted to achieve.

Routing Entries..
You can route based on a number of different fields other than Carrier Zone. Including..

Ship To Address
Zone
Route Code
State, Country
County, State Country

Rates by Carrier Zone...
If you enter a Carrier Zone against a Routing Entry that also has other destination fields loaded (eg. Zone - see above) the Rate Definition lookup can use the Carrier Zone value in the Routing entry to determine the rate even if the routing entry was chosen because of it's Zone (only require an entry in the carrier zone UDC to achieve this).

So Carrier Zone is just one of the options for Routing & Rating your Shipments, there are plenty of other fields to use.

Hope this makes sense.
