Mapping Additional Fields During Lead ConversionUsers at your company can convert lead records to account, contact, and opportunity records. If your company is set up to use Oracle CRM On Demand Partner Relationship Management Edition, users can also convert lead records to deal registration records. When users convert leads to account, contact, opportunity, or deal registration records, some values are carried over to the new records by default. However, you can extend the amount of information that is carried over by mapping additional fields, including custom fields. For an example of how lead fields can be mapped, see Leads. When users convert a lead record, the values in the mapped fields are carried over as follows:
NOTE: A partner user cannot approve a deal registration or assign an approver to a deal registration. Therefore, when a partner user tries to convert a lead to a deal registration, the conversion fails if the conversion process tries to update the Current Approver field or the Final Approver field on the deal registration record. If your company allows partner users to convert leads to deal registrations, then do not map any field on the Lead record type to the Current Approver field or the Final Approver field in the Deal Registration record type. About Web Link FieldsDo not map Web link fields for lead conversion. Web link fields do not contain data, instead, they contain scripts for links that users can click to perform actions. The contents of Web link fields cannot be carried over to the new records when a lead is converted. About Concatenated FieldsDo not map concatenated fields for lead conversion. A concatenated field is a field that can display the values from multiple fields and can also display text. The contents of a concatenated field cannot be carried over to the new records when a lead is converted. If you want to carry over the values from the fields that appear within a concatenated field to the new records when a lead is converted, then map the individual fields for lead conversion. About Customized Picklist Fields and ValuesYou can map picklist fields from the lead record to text fields (long or short) on account, contact, opportunity, and deal registration records, or to a picklist field with identical values. Before you begin. To perform the following procedure your role must include the Data Rules and Assignment privilege. To map additional fields when converting a lead record
