Convert leads into opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system can generate leads instead of opportunities, in order to add
|
|
|
|
|
a qualification step before converting a *Lead* into an
|
2019-11-14 17:46:05 +07:00
|
|
|
|
*Opportunity* and assigning to the right sales people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can activate this mode from the CRM Settings. It applies to all your sales
|
2018-04-04 18:01:23 +07:00
|
|
|
|
channels by default. But you can make it specific for specific channels
|
|
|
|
|
from their configuration form.

Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

You will now have a new submenu *Leads* under *Leads* where they
|
2018-04-04 18:01:23 +07:00
|
|
|
|
will aggregate.

Convert a lead into an opportunity
|
|
|
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you click on a *Lead* you will have the option to convert it to
|
|
|
|
|
an opportunity and decide if it should still be assigned to the same
|
|
|
|
|
channel/person and if you need to create a new customer.

|
If you already have an opportunity with that customer Odoo will
|
|
|
|
|
automatically offer you to merge with that opportunity. In the same
|
|
|
|
|
manner, Odoo will automatically offer you to link to an existing
|
|
|
|
|
customer if that customer already exists.

Merge opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Odoo will also automatically propose to merge opportunities if they have
|
|
|
|
|
the same email address. When merging opportunities, Odoo merges the
|
|
|
|
|
information into the opportunity which was created first, giving
|
|
|
|
|
priority to the information present on the first opportunity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No information is lost: data from the other opportunity is logged in the
|
|
|
|
|
chatter and the information fields for easy access.

Would you find a duplicate yourself, ...you can also merge opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
or leads even if the system doesn't propose it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here’s how, from the list view. Select the opportunities or leads you
|
|
|
|
|
want to merge and the action button will appear. Then, you can select merge.

It is also possible to merge more than 2 opportunities or leads.
