Enable the Address Dimension

Use the Address dimension to set up sales territories by a combination of address elements, such as state, city, and postal code. The application matches your entries using a simple string comparison. You enable the Address dimension by selecting address attributes.

You can't enable both Geography and Address dimensions.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following:

   • Offering: Sales

   • Functional Area: Territories

   • Task: Enable Dimensions and Metrics

2. Click Edit.

3. In the Dimensions region, click Select and Add.

4. Select the Address dimension and click OK.

5. In the Address Attributes region, select to make attributes available for defining territory coverage. Country is required and is selected for you. Postal Code and City are the two that are most often used.

6. From the Actions menu at the page level, select Load and Activate.

When you define a territory, you see your selected address attributes in the Address Coverage region of the Dimensions tab. Enter your address definition in the correct column. For Canada, E% is an example for all postal codes that start with E. You can enter a range of postal codes, a single postal code, or partial postal codes followed by percent like the E% example. Only postal codes accept a range, like 10001-"20005-9999", or accept the percent sign.
