About Region Configurations

The Region Configurations submenu contains two options:

  • Shipping Region Groups: Displays a list of region groups configured for a seller and provides options to add, edit, and delete shipping region groups.
  • Shipping Regions: Displays a list of regions configured for a seller and provides options to add, edit, and delete regions.

A region group is a set of regions that define a geographical area. Region Groups and Regions are used by sourcing process. When you configure sourcing rules, you can use Region Groups to define geographic restrictions and to specify whether a sourcing rule set should be applied to orders being shipped to specific geographic regions. The sourcing rule execution process then uses these configurations to select an appropriate rule set and to determine which nodes can ship to the destination address and which nodes cannot.
