Territory Winning Rules
Phase II: Setting Up Territories
5-5
5.3 Territory Hierarchies
The purpose of having territory hierarchies is to make the territory assignments and
searches more efficient. Territory hierarchies also have the ability to store the
parent-child relationship among territories.
Parent-Child Territory
Any territory consisting of one or more subterritories is considered as a parent
territory. For example, a West Coast territory could consist of three subterritories:
Washington, Oregon, and California. This West Coast territory and the three
subterritories have the parent-child relationship.
Features of a Child Territory (Subterritory)
To help maintain integrity in the hierarchy, each child territory logically inherits the
qualifiers and values of the parent territory. Also, additional qualifiers and values
can be added.
5.4 Territory Winning Rules
Territory Manager uses the Number of Winners field set to the top level of territory
hierarchy to determine the winning territories. This field cannot be entered if it is
not the top level territory.
Territory winning rules are used in several different ways in the Oracle E-Business
Suite. For example, Oracle Service tends to enter ONE in the Number of Winners
field, which helps to select the most qualified resources for the service requests.
Multiple winners are commonly used in Oracle Sales to meet the business needs,
but a single winner is also used in Sales. If the Number of Winners field is not set,
then the number of winning territories defaults to one for the hierarchy under that
top-level territory.
There are two possible outcomes based on values entered in the Number of Winners
field:
One Winner
If you enter 1 in the Number of Winners field in the Overview tab, then Territory
Manager assigns the transaction to a single territory in the territory hierarchy.
Use the territory ranking mechanism for breaking ties between wining territories.
The highest rank of competing territories (which is represented by a lower number)
