A service area is a geographical area used in dispatching. For example, you may have your routes divided into four service areas, each served by a dispatching force. See the User Manual for more information about dispatching.
Set up Service Area records only if you dispatch by service area. Routes and single copy outlets are assigned to service areas during Distrib Point setup.
