Elements and Sections in the Sales Process XML Output File

The following table describes the elements and sections in the sales process XML output file.

Note: When a sales process is created, sales stages named Closed/Lost and Closed/Won are automatically associated with the sales process. The Probability field on the Closed/Lost sales stage is set to zero (0), and the Probability field on the Closed/Won sales stage is set to 100. You cannot change these values. Do not set up any other sales stage with the Probability field equal to 0 or 100 percent. Modifying picklists that are used internally by the Oracle CRM On Demand application can have an adverse impact on standard functionality. You cannot remove the Closed/Lost and Closed/Won sales stages from a sales process.
