Geographic Region Rules (SOAGEOR) page

The Geographic Region Rules (SOAGEOR) page is used to establish rules for the geographic region and geographic region division codes entered in the Key block.

You must create the processing rules which are used to determine the geographic regions associated with each person based on the address information. Geographic regions can be retrieved by entering valid geographic regions and division codes. The rules consist of valid type codes with associated values set for each type code entered.

The geographic region codes must be established in the Geographic Region Code Validation (STVGEOR) page, and the geographic region division codes must be established in the Geographic Region Division Code Validation (STVGEOD) page before the rules for SOAGEOR can be established.

The Key block is used to enter the geographic region codes and geographic region division codes (which are validated against STVGEOR and STVGEOR respectively). Valid geographic region codes and division codes must be entered before you can move into the next block on the page.

Use Count Filter Hits or select the Filter Geographic Regions item in the Options Menu when you are in the Region field to access the Geographic Region Filter (SOAQGEO) page for existing region and division information. Use List to see a list of valid region codes for this field.
Use Count Filter Hits or select the Filter Geographic Regions item in the Options Menu when you are in the Division field to access the Geographic Region Filter (SOAQGEO) page for existing region and division information. Use List to see a list of valid division codes for this field.

The Geographic Region Rules block is used to add, delete, and update the rules that you may set up for the geographic codes entered in the Key block. The rules consist of valid type codes with associated values that have been set for each of the type codes.
