I've just implemented a sales process in CRM 1.2 and have come across a
problem. I wanted to edit the sales process so deactivated it, made the
change and then activated it again. When checking the reports that depend on
the sales process attributes I see that now two sales processes are shown
which is not desirable. I think what has happened is that when you
deactivate a sales process and activateit again a new process id is given.

Is there any solution to this apart from hacking the database?

Thanks

James

Can you set data selection criteria to select only 'Active' sales processes?

The problem is that any Opportunities that were active are still using the
old version of the sales process. The revised process only appies to new
opportunities, it is not swapped in to the inflight processes.

My problem is that I have had a sales process working where it applied tasks
to sales person A, this person has now left. I simply want to assign the
task to sales person B and keep the same reporting functionality. e.g I
don't want to see a seperate sales process in the reports as this confuses
management.

Does CRM 3.0 perform in hte same manner?

Thanks

you can at least stop the sales process, make the change and restart it
however any activities created already will not be reassigned to the new
user.
