True or False: Manual plots in the correct ZIP codes have no impact on CSA, Work Area, or SID assignments.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. False
• D. Depends

Answer: (C)

Manual plots shape geographic boundaries used for grouping how customers are served. CSA and SID are tied to defined service regions, which are based on location boundaries. ZIP codes provide a general location, but manual plotting within those ZIPs defines the precise lines that determine which CSA, Work Area, or SID a customer belongs to. When manual plots are accurate and aligned with the intended boundaries, they push assignments to the correct areas; when they are inaccurate or outdated, they can push assignments to the wrong ones. So saying there is no impact is incorrect—the manual plotting step directly affects these area assignments.
