Planning Lot Groups and Lot Zones

Lot Groups allows you to group similar lots together to be seen as a single entity in OPS-COM. A lot may only belong to one group. A lot group is not required, it exists to allow similar lots.

A Lot Zone is a grouping mechanism allowing validation parameters to be applied to a lot
