Information about the different sections of the ConnectWise Setup window's Opportunities tab > General sub-tab is outlined below.
Completion of Sales Forecast from QuoteWerks
QuoteWerks provides you with the flexibility to control when a sales opportunity created by QuoteWerks in ConnectWise will be converted to a completed sale. The ConnectWise sales opportunity can be completed by QuoteWerks in the following ways:
•Automatic when converting to Order (File > Convert to Order)
•Automatic when converting to Invoice (File > Convert to Invoice)
•Never, which means QuoteWerks will never attempt to complete the Opportunity, the Opportunity will need to be manually updated within ConnectWise. This provides a greater level of control for sales managers or administrators who'd prefer to manually close Opportunities from within ConnectWise rather than have QuoteWerks close them automatically.
Miscellaneous
Include Cost In Opportunity Line Items
Here, you can choose whether you want the cost value associated with the quote’s line items to be sent to the ConnectWise Opportunity.
Write QuoteWerks SoldTo PO Number 'CustPO#' to Opportunity and Order.
This option associates the PO Number set on the Sale Info tab in QuoteWerks to the linked Opportunity and the Sales Order in ConnectWise.
Map QuoteWerks 'Prepared By' to 'Inside Sales Rep' on ConnectWise Opportunity
This option will map the "Prepared By" user in QuoteWerks to the "Inside Sales Rep" field in the ConnectWise Manage Opportunity.
Rename ConnectWise Manage Opportunity when QuoteWerks Document is Renamed
This option will rename the ConnectWise Manage opportunity with the new document name when the QuoteWerks Document is renamed using the File-> Rename feature.
Default Rating and Sales Stage
This is where users can set their Default Rating and Default Sales Stage when creating their Opportunities in ConnectWise from QuoteWerks. Users have the option of changing these defaults when creating the opportunity but this will be the default setting.
Default Location and Business Unit
This is where users can set their Default Location and Business Units when creating their Opportunities in ConnectWise from QuoteWerks. Users have the option of changing these defaults when creating the opportunity but this will be the default setting.
Default Opportunity / Forecast Status
Under these settings users can select the default statuses for their Opportunity and Forecasts. The drop-down box will pull directly from ConnectWise so users can choose the correct statuses for each of their Forecasts and Opportunities when created from QuoteWerks.
Important: For clarification, we recommend setting the "Won" opportunity with a status like "Won in QuoteWerks", which would require you to create a new status in ConnectWise. This way, the won Opportunity does not get lost in your ConnectWise boards. This also ensures the Opportunity is handled completely within ConnectWise, by ConnectWise. |
