With the Distributor Assignment feature enabled, Partners with Distributors assigned to them will only be able to select those Distributors from the Distributor picklist when registering Deals. Partners without assigned Distributors will not see the Distributor picklist when submitting Deals.
Also, Distributors will only be able to register Deals and/or track the progress of the Deals associated with the Partners they are assigned to.
To enable the Distributor Assignment feature, go to Settings > Distributor Module Settings > enable the "Partners can only select from their assigned Distributors" option > Save.
