A target type is a label that identifies the type of quota. Having multiple target types allows you to assign more than one type of target in a quota program. For example, you may want one quota for total sales revenue, one for revenue only for sales of a specific type of product, and one that counts the number of items sold.
Adding a target type is a two-step process. First, any target types that will be used in all territory programs are added to the system. Next, you can add the target types you will be using to a single territory program.
