Quota Validation

You can turn off the quota validation that occurs when sales managers publish quotas. The validation prevents assigning quotas prior to resource start dates (the same as employee hire dates) or territory quota start dates.

If an employee joins the company or a new territory is created midyear, then managers can't assign quotas for all of the year periods with validation turned on. To turn off validation, set the following profile option to no: Allow quota start date validation during publish.
