This section provides an overview of the sales process and discusses how to:
Define a process.
Clone a process.
Sales efforts typically follow a defined series of stages and tasks. PeopleSoft Enterprise Sales provides the Knowledge Enabled Sales (KES) process, a ready-to-use proprietary sales process that enables you to identify the stages and tasks that an organization's sales process requires. The KES process can also help sales representatives learn how to perform tasks using the organization's best practices.
The KES process includes several stages. Each stage is associated with an opportunity pipeline segment, and every stage includes one or more tasks. You can use the KES process that is provided or you can define sales stages and tasks based on your organization's preferred sales model.
Note that you can enable multiple sales processes at one time. For example, you might have one process for selling within a particular industry and another for selling a particular product or service line. You can relate all the various stages to common pipeline segments to ensure that you analyze pipeline information correctly.
This table lists the KES stages and their tasks. You can modify these stages and tasks to meet your business needs.
Note. The weights included in this table are provided as an example of how the KES process works.

This section provides an overview of field default values for leads and opportunities and discusses how to set up default values for component fields.
When a sales user creates a lead or opportunity, the lead or opportunity description is a required field. The user can enter a description to identify the lead or opportunity. However, if the user does not enter a description and saves the lead or opportunity, the system saves a default value for the description based on a combination of fields set up on the Component Field Default page.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Sales delivers two default settings for component fields—one for the lead description and one for the opportunity description. These settings specify that the system populates the lead and opportunity descriptions with the name of the customer if the sales user does not enter a description. You can change these default settings by using the Component Field Default page.

To set up lead ratings, use the Lead Ratings (RSF_LEAD_RATING) and Lead Rating by Rate Set Value (RT_RS_TO_LEAD_RATE) components.
This section provides an overview of ratings and rating rules and discusses how to:
Define lead ratings and set workflow triggers.
Set up lead rating rules.
Build conditions for rating rules.
Choose conditions to evaluate.
Map survey values to lead ratings.
Lead ratings assess the probability that a customer will buy and are usually represented by a term that describes temperature, such as Hot, Warm, or Cold. For leads generated through the TeleSales application, scripted questions and answers provide the information that is used to provide lead ratings. Lead ratings apply to a setID.
For leads that are automatically generated from marketing campaigns, you can automatically generate an initial lead rating from the information gathered by marketing: customer name, potential revenue, geographic region, and so forth. You select relevant information and set up rules that automatically evaluate leads that are generated from marketing campaigns. Rating rules, like ratings, are unique for a setID and are built using the Active Analytics Framework (AAF) in the context of lead management.

When a marketing (or telemarketing) group creates a branch script survey, it defines rate-set values so that the script can translate the overall score into a meaningful rating. You can map those rate-set values to lead ratings here. That way, if the survey score returns the equivalent of a lead rating with the rating category of Qualified, the marketing group can forward the prospect to the sales group as a qualified lead.

To define account auto-assignment options for leads and opportunities, use the Account Auto-assignment Options for Lead and Opportunity component.
Use the RSF_ASGN_OPTIONS component interface to load data into the tables for this component.
This section provides an overview of lead and opportunity assignment by customer account and discusses how to set up account-based assignment options.
In addition to using the assignment engine for automatic territory-based assignment, PeopleSoft Enterprise Sales can also be set up to support the automatic assignment of sales representatives to leads and opportunities based on associated customer accounts. This feature enables customer account team members, who are established as sales users, to be assigned to leads and opportunities as sales representatives. These team members do not have to be associated with territories to be considered in the assignment of sales representatives to work on leads and opportunities.
Separate configuration options are provided for enabling customer account-based assignment on leads and on opportunities. You can also set up the system to assign either all account team members or just the owners of the account team (who are also sales users) as sales representatives. If the customer account-based assignment option is enabled, it takes precedence over the territory-based mechanism when automatic lead and opportunity assignment occurs.
See Understanding Sales Representative Assignment.
Customer Account-Based Assignment: Process Flow
This diagram illustrates the process for assigning sales representatives to leads based on the account teams that are associated with leads' customers:
Process flow for assigning sales representatives to leads and opportunities based on the account team that is associated with customers of leads and opportunities
This process applies to both leads and opportunities; leads are used in this example to explain the process. Here is how the process works:
An automatic sales representative assignment request is made.
An example is when a user clicks the Find Sales Rep button on the Assign page of a lead, which invokes the assignment engine.
After confirming that the account-based assignment is set to be enabled for leads, the system checks if a customer is present in the lead.
If yes, the system checks to see if the customer is associated with an account team.
If no, territory-based assignment is used.
If the customer has an account team, the system further checks if the account team has at least one sales user.
If the customer does not have an account team, or none of the account team members are sales users, territory-based assignment is used.
Based on the selected assignment criterion (the entire account team or owners only), the assignment engine populates the qualified account team members to the Assign page of the lead. Specifically:
If the assignment criterion is the entire account team, the system populates all team members who are also sales users to the lead as sales representatives, and make the account team owner the primary sales representative. If there are multiple team owners, one of them is made primary through random selection.
If there are no account team owners, or owners are not sales users, the system makes one of the team members the team owner and this owner becomes the primary sales representative.
Note. It is recommended that you mark one account team member as the owner so that this owner automatically becomes the primary sales representative in customer based-assignment.
If the assignment criterion is owners only, account team members who are both sales users and marked as owners will be assigned to the lead as sales representatives.
Similar to the other assignment criterion, the system makes one of the owners the primary sales representative through random selection. And if no qualified account team owners are available, a random account team member, who is also a sales user, is then selected to become the owner and primary sales representative.
The creator of the lead has a higher priority to be chosen as the primary sales representative if this user is also the owner of the customer's account team.

Before you can import leads, you must set up a lead-import template that specifies the mapping between the spreadsheet and the tables. PeopleSoft Enterprise Sales delivers a default template that can be used as delivered. You can create additional templates, if needed. When setting up a lead-import template, you use the Sales Lead Import Templates component to:
Specify the fields to include during the import.
Map the spreadsheet columns to fields in the Lead table.
Set up duplicate checking for leads.
Set up lookup criteria for Customer Data Model fields.
In addition, you can create a spreadsheet template that contains the column headings for fields that you import into PeopleSoft Enterprise Sales.

Field Name |
To include a link in the section, enter the target field for the link. |
Display Template Section
Section ID |
Select a display template section ID for the corresponding summary section (for example, choose COMPETITION section ID for the Competition summary section), which is used by the system to hide the section on the Summary page if its matching detail section is no longer displayed on any other pages of the component (as configured using a display template). When a section ID is specified here, the system checks to see if the corresponding section is visible on any page of the said component. If the section is configured to be displayed on a page of the component, its summary section is also visible. But if an administrator disables the section from being displayed on any pages of the component, then its summary section will be removed from the Summary page accordingly. If a section ID is not specified, no checking is performed and the summary section always appears. An example is the display of the Tasks, Notes, and Call Reports sections on the Summary page for both leads and opportunities. Because the Tasks, Notes, and Call Reports pages do not contain any sections in the core display templates, they cannot be referenced on the summary page setup using section IDs. Therefore, these sections are always displayed on the Summary page even if their corresponding pages are actually hidden from the component through display templates. As delivered, this functionality is only supported on the CORE display templates for leads and opportunities in which the Summary page is configured to be shown. The summary page setup for the Lead component has these sections mapped to corresponding section IDs: Contacts, Competition, and Products. As for the Opportunity component, each of these sections is mapped to a section ID: Contacts, Team, Products, Competition and Quotes. |

This section provides an overview of task group templates and discusses how to:
Define task group templates.
Associate task group templates with lead statuses.
Associate task group templates with opportunity sales stages.
A task group template is a grouping of related tasks performed to accomplish certain goals. When you select a task group template to apply to a component, the system automatically populates the set of predefined tasks on the Tasks page of that component, saving time that you otherwise must spend entering those tasks one by one. Both the Lead and Opportunity components support the use of task group templates, which can be applied in two ways:
Manually, by selecting an existing task group template on the Tasks page.
Automatically, through the use of the AAF policies that populate sales tasks when the corresponding policy condition is met.
Delivered AAF policies are available for populating tasks when the status of leads is set to Open or Rejected, or when the sales stage of opportunities is set to Discover, Qualify Customer, or Develop Solution. You can modify or create new policies for other situations where sales tasks need to be populated by the system.
Note. The system populates sales tasks on leads and opportunities whenever a triggering event occurs (before saving a lead or opportunity) and the conditions of sales tasks-related policies are met, which can take place multiple times. In an example of leads, if you update the status of a lead from New to Open, to Working, then back to Open, and you save the lead every time a status is changed, the system populates the same set of sales tasks twice for the two times when the lead status was changed to Open. Duplicate tasks are allowed on the Tasks page.
