Standard out of box Project Operations allows to perform actions ‘Close as Won’ or ‘Close or Lost’ or ‘Reopen Opportunity’ only at the opportunity header level not at the individual opportunity line levels. This functionality is enhanced further by adding three new buttons to allow the users to perform ‘Close as Won’, ‘Close as Lost’ and ‘Reopen line’ for the selected individual opportunity lines.
A new parameter ‘Auto-create project when opportunity is won’ is added at Summary tab of Opportunity form to control whether new project to be created or not when the opportunity is won. Default value for this parameter comes from Company Parameters form field ‘Auto-create project when opportunity is won’.
Close as Won
‘Close as Won’ action performed towards selected opportunity line will create project automatically along with the project contract and contract line. For the selected opportunity line button ‘Close as Won’ visible and enabled only when the status of the opportunity line is ‘In Process’ and ‘Budget Amount’ is not blank. Once the ‘Close as Won’ action performed successfully values for fields ‘Status’ will be updated as ‘Won’ and ‘Project’ field will be updated with the name of the project created. ‘Close as Won’ action can be performed for the opportunity line for which draft project is created, this action will create project contract record and assigns against the already created draft project.
