Forcing Sales Stage Change

We have 4-5 Business Units in our company and each having their own sales stages. I have a requirement where by the sales reps should not be skipping sales stage. In case of Enterprise Siebel (On-Premise) there is a State Model workflow functionality which could help us achieve this functionality, unfortunately in CRMOD they have not exposed that as of yet.
Has any of the experts here implemented this functionality at your respective organizations?

John
This can be achieved using following steps
1. Define different sales process (4-5 business units each of having their own sales stages)
Admin-->Data rules and assignment -->Sales processes
2.During definition of sales process, define automated task for each sales stage.
Admin-->Data rules and assignment -->Sales processes-->Click sales stage which you have defined -->Automated tasks
With this you can achieve a sequence of tasks need to executed for each stage.
3. Also need to define workflow of sales stages using workflow configuration
Admin-->Workflow configuration -->Define workflow condition
By doing this you will be able achieve 'the sales reps should not be skipping sales stage' requirement.
Hope this helps.

  • Pipeline snapshot Report and Sales Stage Change

    How to identify the sales stage on the day when the Pipeline snap shot was taken.
    Here is my scenario I have to build a pipeline snap shot for the last 3 months of all opportunities where sales stage on the day of the snapshot is not in say Sales Stage 'A' In the pipeline history report the opportunity section showcases the current sales stage and not the sales stage on the day when the snapshot was made.

    Dear Praveen Kumar
    Have you tried with VBAP where sale order details at item level would be stored.
    Moreover, to my knowledge, there won't be any changes as for as pricing is concerned at sale order level but there is at billing level.  Normally, any price increase / decrease would reflect in billing.  So why dont you to table join through SQVI VBAP (for sale order details) and VBRP (for billing details) so that you can compare the selling price in sale order with billing. 
    Thanks

  • Opportunity sales stages change

    Hello All,
    I want to change the fields as mandatory once the sales stage is moved from one stage to another stage, from initial change to discussion stage i want 3 fields as mandatory, and from discussion to closed/won some fields are mandatory including weblinks. Could you please suggest on this.
    Thanks
    Subbu

    You can use the Sales Process to do this...
    To make fields required for a Sales Stage
    Navigate to:
    Data Rules & Assignment -> Drill down on Your Sales Process -> Drilldown on a Sales Stage for which you want to add required fields -> in "Additional Required Fields" section click the "add" button and add the fields here.
    Thanks,

  • Sales stage history subject area

    Hi - Can someone clarify the sales stage history data. It's just keeping track of everytime the sales stage changes right and when it changed? However, if the opportunity was transferred from one owner to another, it can only associate the record/change with the current owner correct? For example, if this was the sequence...
    Stage 0 - changed by owner 1 to Stage 3
    owner changed to owner 2
    Stage 2 - changed by owoner 2 to Stage 4
    The report would say that owner 2 made both changes right?

    Hi-
    You are correct that Sales Stage History does not track the user making the change. This subject area captures a pre-defined set of field values each time the sales stage changes and is most useful for doing deal flow analysis.
    Fields captured when stage changes:
    Stage Start Date
    Expected Revenue
    Forecast Flag
    Opportunity Close Date
    Revenue
    Probability
    Sales Stage
    Sales Status
    There are also several metrics calculated for you:
    Days as Opportunity
    # of Days in Stage
    Avg Days in Stage
    Fallout
    Fallout Ratio
    Good luck!

  • Change of Sales Stage once again to the earlier one

    Hi,
    Can we restrict the user at sales stage so that he does not change the sales stage to previous sales stage once changed.According to client requirement,the user does not want open activities to come for the second time. Can we put field validation at sales stage level.
    Quick response will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Manish.

    Found the solution myself,
    The standard behavior is being modified in the user exits V09A0001 ( Reference/duplicate decision making manual address). Also refer to note 97832 for detailed solution.

  • Change the Status depending on the value selected in Sales stage

    I want to change the status in opportunity, depending upon what is entered in sales stage.
    I tried to find an appropriate BADI for the same purpose, but couldn't figure out any.
    I was thinking of changing the method do_prepare_output and including the code to get the value of sales stage and set the status. Is this feasible?

    Alternatively, you can enhance the SET method of the sales status and add the logic for status update as well.

  • Issue with saving sales stage in an opportunity record

    We can not update the sales stage of an opportunity record to closed/won and save it. We are changing the status to a valid one. Is this a known issue in the new release? We upgraded recently to rel 15.

    I would recommend contacting customer care on this issue.

  • Mapping Sales Stage in Opportunity with Win Probabilty

    Hi,
    We need to map the sales stages to win probability in such a way that whatever sales stage we select, the win probabilty should automatically change.
    Hence if the Sales Stage is "Initial Contact", the Win Probability should be 10 and if it is changed to "Negotiation", it changes to 70.
    Can any one please help me with the syntax.
    Thanks in Advance
    Akesh

    Hi Akesh,
    Create new sales process by using following navigation
    Admin-->Business procee management -->Data rules and assignment -->Sales Methodology-->Sales process
    Also add 'Default probablity' for each 'sales stage'.
    Then try creating new opportunity.Win probablity will get autopopulate based on sales stage selected.
    Hope this answer your requirement.

  • Sales Stages in Pipeline performance

    Hi,
    When i am clicking on a sales stage graph in sales pipeline, the opportunity data in the below window does not change.
    Any idea what could be missing?
    Thanks Rahul.

    I think the opportunity list never changed when you switch from the sales stage to another one.
    I got the same behavior on our PPM enviroment.

  • Historical Opportunity Sales Stage Report

    I have a basic report that shows Opportunity Name, Historical Sales Stage, and Stage Start Date.
    How can I display a column that shows the previous Sales Stage along with it?
    Thanks for your help.

    I've created custom fields for each sales stage with Workflow rules that update the fields with "Timestamps" when the SalesStage changes. Example, field "Closed/Won Timestamp" field is populated when the SalesStage is changed to "Closed/Won" with the current Timestamp.
    Then you filter or include these fields in your analysis and can have "Timebased" reporting.
    I've also created custom fields to Timestamp when the Owner is changed, when a CloseDate is changed, when a lead is "Qualified", when Total Revenue is changed, when a Account "Type" is changed and what was the Previous status.
    Each custom field has Workflow that Updates Values upon the rule being triggered.

  • Removing Sales Stages under Opportunity

    Hi,
    I'm currently customizing in Oracle CRM on Demand. In the lay-out screen of Opportunities I want to remove (or edit) the field "Sales stage" because the company I'm working for uses different ones than the standard CRM on Demand ones. But when I want to remove Sales Stage from the Field Layout Screen I receive an error that says that it is a required field and that I’m unable to delete it. When I check out the status at the Field Setup it confirms the required status but because it is grayed out I can't make it "Unrequiered". Unfortunately I’m also unable to edit the pick list behind it. So basically I’m stuck with a useless field that I can't get rid of.
    Any solution for my problem?
    Kind Regards

    Hello,
    My understanding is you want to change the name of sales stages. There are some limitations on closed/won and closed/loss except this all stages are editable and you can insert new stages also.
    Please follow the below steps :
    Admin--> Business process--> data rules & Assignment--> Sales process--> Default sales process-->clik on sales stage and rename it.
    Good luck
    Cheers

  • Unlinking Probability % from Sales Stage

    Is there a way to unlink "Probability %" from "Sales Stage"? Our reps want to be able to enter a percentage of probablility manually, not to have it computed from the "Sales Stage" value.

    Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear you need to keep sales stage on the screen as this is required for the system. What i was referring to was creating another field for Probability that can be used. Personally I was say it makes good business sense to keep away from this as do you really need to report on Probability anything under 10 increments. Do you understand that your only defaulting a minimum Probability based on the sales stage. This means you might change the sales stage and the probability will also update but you can also change the Probability up and down without impacting the sales stage

  • Rename Sales Stage of Stage Processus

    Hello,
    I'm not able to rename some Sales Stages of some Sales Processus.
    I can for several, I can't for the others.
    I can't understand why.
    Someone has an idea ?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Bobb,
    I can read this in the help:
    Important: Do not set up any other Sales Stages with probabilities equal to 0 or 100 percent except Closed/Lost and Closed/Won. Modifying picklists that are used internally by the Oracle CRM On Demand application can have an adverse impact on standard functionality.
    But even the name cant' be changed ?
    Thanks.
