Regions

From the menu bar, click Maintenance > General Maintenance > Regions or press Alt N G R on the keyboard.

If you have multiple store locations and define locations according to the region they are in, you may establish the necessary regions in "Regions".  Then, in "Locations" you can assign each store location to the applicable region.  The region is primarily used for reporting purposes, and is a selection option on many reports in the Report Catalog.
