Territories
Receivables lets you define multiple customer territory combinations. You can assign territories to your customers, salespeople, invoices, and commitments. For example, you can divide your industry class into different types of businesses and your regions into North, South, East, and West to evaluate growth by location.
Receivables uses the value you enter in the Source of Territory field in the System Options window to determine the default territory for your invoices and commitments.
Active territories appear in the list of values in the Customers, Salespersons, and Transactions windows. Receivables does not display inactive territories in these windows.
Prerequisites
To define a territory:
1. Navigate to the Territories window.
2. Enter a unique territory Name and Description.
3. Enter the territory Flexfield information for this territory.
4. Enter the range of Effective Dates that this territory will be active. The default Start date is the current date, but you can change it. If you do not enter an End date, this territory will be active indefinitely.
