Re: Zip Code boundaries as Territories

Interesting, however, zip code boundaries run willy-nilly, even across county lines, with little respect for "territory". (I'm unsure as to whether or not they actually cross state lines.) The USPS will claim no responsibility for errors in misappropriating "territory" since THEIR defense is that "the Zip Code was not established for these purposes." I'd like to know the problems that occur with this plan, especially if they exist as a result of the company being "out-of-bounds" regarding any application. (Permit or permission from one county, but not another, or any "infringement" issues.)

Start the Create Teritories Wizard,
select Create Manually,
Next,
select US, Zip Code,
Next,
read the explanation of Individually,
Finish.

You then create each territory (I named each one a zip code number I wanted to map). Then select each territory and for each one, select the zip code number (as in the Individual description). And click Add to Territory. The Zip Code boundary is now your territory.
