         <Paragraph>This table actually displays two zones: ZC4 and ZC5. ZC4 has
		  ZIP code range 3100 AA-3145 ZZ as origin area; and 3500 AA-3599 ZZ and 4800
		  AA-4850 ZZ as destination areas. ZC5 has ZIP code range 3100 AA-3145 ZZ as
		  origin area; and 6200AA-6228 ZZ as destination area. If these zones are linked
		  to a freight rate in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0150m000" role="session">Freight Rate Books (tdpcg0150m000)</GUIRef> session, transport from addresses in the origin ZIP
		  ranges to addresses in the destination ranges are charged with the freight
		  rate.</Paragraph>
