Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4138s000)
Use this session to maintain the transport time and the distance, between the country-ZIP/postal codes combinations shown at the top.
For more information, refer to Defining distances
The distance is expressed as a time, for example, hours, days, or weeks. LN uses this information to verify planned delivery days on:
- sales orders in the Sales Control module
- purchase orders in the Purchase Control module
- service orders in the Service Order Control module
If a delivery date appears to be unrealistic, LN displays a warning message when you enter the order data.
If Freight is implemented, calculation of the transportation time is based on the carrier and the routes. If Freight is not implemented, LN takes the transportation time between the ship-from business partner's address and the receiving warehouse's address, based on a relevant distance table (if available) in the Distance Table by City (tccom4137s000) session or in the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session. Which session bis used depends on the value of the Usage Distance Tables field in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session.
The other way
If the distance and transport time between the From and the To places is the same each way, you need only record it once. The distance and time between countries/codes B and A are taken to be the same as between A and B, unless you define them both.
