Difficulty: EasySales Processes and Opportunity Stages

An administrator at Orion Solar needs to configure different stage values for the Opportunity Stage picklist to support two distinct sales teams: Direct Commercial Sales and Partner Wholesale. Which feature must the administrator set up first to determine the specific stage picklist values available before assigning them to an Opportunity Record Type?

  1. Sales ProcessAnswer
  2. B
    Direct picklist value assignment on the Opportunity Object settings without creating a Sales Process
  3. C
    Lead Conversion Field Mapping
  4. D
    Standard Price Book Entries

Answer

The Sales Process feature must be configured first because the Opportunity Stage picklist is a special business process field. A Sales Process selects a subset of master Stage values, which is then assigned to an Opportunity Record Type.
