ZIP Codes by Standard Route (fmlbd0151m000)
Use this session to view and maintain zip codes for standard routes. For each standard route, the zip codes are organized in ranges by country.
A range consists of the following elements:
- Sequence number.
- Country.
- A range of zip codes in that country.
- Reference address.
The Sequence in Route determines the order in which the ranges are visited by the carrier.
To define a range, you enter the first zip code of the range in the From ZIP Code field and the last zip code of the range in the To ZIP Code field. The carrier can pick up or deliver goods at addresses within the range.
The Reference Address is the most important address of the range. Usually, this is a pooling point or a break bulk point. Note that a standard route can be a leg of a route plan.
Example
To define standard route AMS - PAR, Amsterdam via Brussels to Paris, you need three ranges:
- Sequence no. 1; The Netherlands; zip 1000AA to 1199ZZ; ref. address: Amsterdam, pooling point.
- Sequence no. 2; Belgium; zip 1000 to 1100; ref. address: Brussels, pooling/break bulk point.
- Sequence no. 3; France; zip 92974 to 92984; ref. address: Paris, break bulk point.
