Create Opportunity Screen

To create a new opportunity, enter the required data listed in red): opportunity name, the initial account that generated the opportunity, the initial lead, the initial stage of the opportunity (used to calculate the sales forecast), and the estimated close date.

You can also enter additional details including the initial contact, type of opportunity, estimated amount, the currency, marketing campaign, and the source of the opportunity. The description and next step fields allow you to make notes about the opportunity and detail the next step in closing the sale.
