If the team member hierarchy type is changed in account manager targets, what happens to existing targets?

When the team member hierarchy type is changed in account manager targets, the correct outcome is that all existing targets become read-only. This is because changing the hierarchy type impacts how the targets are structured and managed within the system. Making the targets read-only ensures that historical data remains intact while preventing any possible inconsistencies or conflicts that could arise from altering the hierarchy.

This read-only status serves to safeguard the integrity of existing targets as they do not automatically adapt to the new hierarchy configuration. Users must then assess the existing targets in light of the revised hierarchy before making any necessary adjustments or approvals. This process is crucial for maintaining data accuracy and clarity regarding performance evaluations tied to the accounts or team member structures.

In contrast, other options do not accurately reflect the functionality within Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud. For example, making all existing targets turn to draft status would imply that they are editable, which contradicts the purpose of preserving data integrity during structural changes. Similarly, the notion that existing targets need to be reapproved based on the new hierarchy does not align with the system’s operation where changes in hierarchy do not retroactively call for reapproval. Lastly, stating that there would be no change to existing targets overlooks the fact that a change in hierarchy inherently impacts how those targets are
