Important If you disable Sales Territories, your users lose record access that’s based on territory assignments, and your organization no longer has access to territory management data, including territory forecasts. If you re-enable Sales Territories, you can lose data that had previously been available through the feature.

1. If you haven’t already, [archive your active territory model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.tm2_archive_territory_model.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Archiving a territory model deactivates it, but the model remains in your territory model list. From this list, you can reference the model’s associated assignment rules and the resulting account-to-territory assignments generated by the rules. You can archive a model only if it’s in the Active state. After archiving a model, you can’t return it to the Active state or the Planning state.") before disabling Sales Territories.
2. From Setup, enter Territories in the Quick Find box, and then select the territory settings.
3. Click **Disable Sales Territories**.
