Territory product quantity allocations control inventory management and strategic
distribution, while sample limits control regulatory compliance and responsible sampling per
account. You can configure territory product quantity allocations and sample limits
separately. Or, use them together to control the quantity of samples allocated to territories
and how many samples sales reps can distribute per account and visit within that territory and
period.
