How are territories assigned to opportunities?
You can't explicitly add territories to an opportunity. Rather, the assignment engine automatically assigns territories to opportunity product lines by matching the dimensional attributes of product lines to territory dimensions, such as Customer Size or Industry.
When the assignment engine assigns territories to opportunity product lines, the territory owner is also copied to the opportunity team.
Profile options set by the administrator determine the following:
-
Whether, when a territory is assigned to an opportunity product line, all territory team members are also copied to the opportunity team, in addition to the territory owner.
-
Whether the assign opportunity action is available from within an opportunity for salespeople to run assignment.
-
Whether the application runs assignment when salespeople save an opportunity.
