What effect does the predefined Opportunity Owner Mapping Set have for territory assignment?

The Opportunity Owner Mapping Set assigns territories to simplified sales forecasts where the opportunity owner is also the owner of the territory. Assignment mapping sets and their underlying mappings drive territory-based assignment. This mapping enables you to compare and match attribute values between a work object attribute such as Revenue and a candidate object attribute, such as Territory. When the value of the candidate object attribute matches the work object attribute, the candidate is selected.

The mapping set concept is used only with territory-based assignment and territory-based assignment with rule filtering. Attribute mappings are typically used when the work object and candidate object attributes in the comparison are non-dimensional attributes. Candidate objects are related to work objects, and, for each relationship, the appropriate assignment mode (such as matching and scoring) and processing options are predefined. Literal mappings are a way of filtering the matched territories based on specific values of a territory attribute.
