How can you identify the date on which an opportunity was saved as won or lost?

Question

Hi there,

Among other things, we want to determine the length of sales cycles and the deals closed in a specific period.
How can the close date be clearly determined? Date Modified is also set when any change to the opportunity is saved.
We use the “date_closed” field for the expected close date, therefore, we cannot use it for this purpose.

I welcome any tips and advice!

Thanks
Steffen

hi Steffen Scheid 
 Simply add a Date/Time field and simply call it something like 'Actual Closed Date', make it Read only, and use BPM to set this date when status changes to Won or Lost
