Introduce Region definition in SIP and add regional sourcing rules set up similar to Sterling OMS

SIP does not allow managing region definition so that a given post code in the available to promise APIs input can be related to a region and promise calculation can use the region constraint defined as part of promising rules. SIP can easily supp...
