How to use Opportunity AND RLI with more flexibility ?

Hello,

I want to share a problem that some of us are facing and want to know how you deal with it.

Opportunity with RLI are great, because you can better express complex sales processes, including multiples Revenue Line (that should live their own live).

BUT, sometimes you only want to use the Opportunity WITHOUT RLI

  • for instance at the first step, maybe you don't know what products / lines you want to add
  • for instance for basic opportunity, you want to use it the way Sugar works without the RLI

For all those reason, I would like to understand how you manage opportunity and RLI, for advanced but also basic deals ?

Many thanks,

Fred

PS : additionnal question : do you also sometimes want to split the product catalog that is used for Opportunity (more macro) and the one used for Quotes (more micro) ?

  • That is a great question  !

    Unfortunately Opportunities x RLI is all or nothing, configured for the entire instance. In theory it is possible to customize Opportunities js controllers in order to let sales people to decide whether to consider Opp alone or Opp + RLI. However it wouldn't impact the Forecast, which remains wide config sensitive.
