Some Zone Types are built-in, they're called system Zone Types:

  1. Cannot Ship – stocks residing in Locations within this Zone will not be selected during the allocation process. Also, no Location here can be selected as Site's Default Shipping Location.
  2. FPL – Forward Pick Locations Zone: Locations here will have the highest priority when allocating stocks during the automatic allocation process.
  3. Putaway – assign Locations here to designate Locations used in Receiving and Return Orders.
  4. Storage – Locations in this Zone are used to store stocks moved from Putaway and user-defined Zones.

You can always create new Types, these are the user-defined Zone Types.

  • Search the existing Types by Code. The System checkbox allows you to include/exclude system Types from filtering: by default, the checkbox corresponds to the indeterminate option, which shows you both system and user-defined Zone Types.

1) search by the beginning of text fields;

2) set checkboxes to one of three states for searching;

3) collapse/expand the filter area.
