Territory model state indicates whether a territory is in the planning stage, in active
use, or archived. You can have only one active territory model at a time. But you can create and
maintain multiple models in planning or archived state to use for extra modeling or reference.
Some states reflect a territory model’s lifecycle and others indicate errors in processing when
states are changed.
Required Editions
Available in: Salesforce Classic for some features and Lightning Experience for
all features
Available in: Performance and Developer Editions and in
Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales
The Manage Territories permission:
Provides users access to territories in planning and archived state and to the list of
accounts and leads assigned to territories in planning and archived state.
Doesn’t provide access to the accounts and leads assigned to territories in planning and
archived state. Only the name and ID fields appear in the list. To run territory planning
reports, users must get access to accounts and leads via a method other than the
permission.
Lifecycle State
Definition
Planning
The default state for every new territory model you create. The
Planning state lets you preview a model’s territory hierarchy
before deploying it.
Active
The state of a territory model after you activate it and all processing is complete.
Only one model in your Salesforce organization can be active at a time.
A model in Active
state lets users view model details, including hierarchies, territories, and all assigned
accounts and users. Users assigned to territories within an active model can access and
modify accounts and leads that they’re assigned to within that model. And territory
forecasts are based on your active territory model.
Archived
The state of a territory model after you archive it and all processing is complete. An
archived model lets admins view hierarchy and rule assignments as they were configured when
the model was active. Only the active model can be archived, and archived models can’t be
reactivated.
When you archive a territory model or delete a territory on an active model,
the Territory field is reset to a blank value on opportunity records with those territories
assigned.
And when you archive a territory model, Salesforce deletes your territory
forecasts, forecast types, quotas, and adjustments. Before you archive a territory model,
consider running the opportunity territory assignment filter and then taking screenshots of
the forecasts page. You can also create a snapshot.
