What's the difference between territory and resource quota start and end dates?

Territory quota start date and end date define a period when the sales quota target must be achieved.

The territory quota dates must fall within the start and end dates of the quota plan, and usually match the sales quota plan start and end dates.The resource quota start and end dates define a period when the quota must be achieved by the salesperson, and usually match the sales quota plan start and end dates.

Resource dates vary from the sales quota plan start and end dates when:

• A territory is deleted. All resource quotas within the territory have the same end date as the territory end date. The sales quota plan end date isn't yet reached.

• A territory resource is removed from a territory, and the resource is end dated.

• Quota is assigned to a resource who will join the organization in future.
