Reporting on a lead related to an opportunity

External Posted: 2014-07-23 10:52

Hi,

 

We'd like to analyse the route of our sales leads through the process of being converted to then becoming opportunities and to report on those which turn into orders. We have been able to create a report which pulls together sales leads and we've also created reports which list opportunities but can't see a way in either report type to find the other parameter.

How should we accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

David.

Unfortunately because you cannot report on related items, there isn't actually a way to create the report you've described in Workbooks.

It is however possible to use a script which upon save of an opportunity, will find the related sales lead and will update a field on the sales lead to match the status of an opportunity. Therefore on a sales lead record, you'll always have an up to date record of the status of its related opportunity which you can then report on to understand which sales leads resulted into a won opportunity for example.

The script would require development and therefore would be chargeable. If you are interested in progressing this, please just contact support.
