Postal Zone Definition

Postal zones are primarily used for subscription reporting so the main users of this screen are those using the Subscriptions subsystem. Users can set up multiple destination zones based on a shipping source location, which is then used for reporting on zones. The Postal Zone Definition screen allows the user to update and store postal zone information for different shipping methods.
