A region schema represents the complete set of regions
defining a given geography.
You can use Sourcing
Region Selection to associate preexisting region schemas for use within
sourcing configuration.
You can associate region schemas with the following:
- Shipped Product Region Schema
- You can select a region schema to be used when configuring the product
specific sourcing rules. The regions within the selected region schema
can then be associated with nodes or groups of nodes from which product
items can be shipped to a destination.
- Delivery Region Schema - You can select
a region schema to be used when configuring delivery service specific
sourcing rules. The regions within the selected region schema can
then be associated with nodes or groups of nodes that provide a given
delivery service when a delivery is requested to the specific region.
- Provided Service Region Schema
– You can select a region schema to be used when configuring provided
service specific sourcing rules. The regions within the selected region
schema be associated with nodes or groups of nodes that can provide
a requested service when the service location is within the specific
region.
You can select the same region schema for product,
delivery, and provided service sourcing configuration or you can select
a different region schema for each if you would like to define a more
granular region definition for any of the three.
