  4. D
    Configure Lead field mapping to map custom Lead Status picklist values directly to the new Opportunity Stage picklist values.

Answer

To configure tailored Opportunity Stages for a new sales team, the administrator must create a new Sales Process containing the selected stage values and then create a new Opportunity Record Type linked to that Sales Process.
Configuring distinct Opportunity Stages for a business process in Salesforce requires creating a Sales Process to select the active stage picklist values and then creating an Opportunity Record Type linked to that Sales Process.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Create a new Sales Process
Defines the specific subset of Opportunity Stage picklist values required for the Enterprise Sales workflow.
Opportunity stages are governed by Sales Processes rather than standard object-level picklist assignments.
2
Create an Opportunity Record Type
Associates the record type with the newly created Sales Process.
Record types link page layouts and sales processes to different user profiles and business units.
