Why am I unable to delete my Opportunities?

Updated on July 11, 2020 07:49AM by Admin

The Opportunities App of Apptivo allows you to delete your opportunities effortlessly on a single click. However, there are two instances where you will not be able to delete your opportunities.

    1. When the Opportunity has an association
    2. When the Sales Stage has Closed Won (Sales Plan Category)

When the Opportunity has an association

When your opportunity has a customer or contact or any association from other applications in Apptivo, you cannot delete the opportunity from your account. Instead, the opportunity will be moved to the Archived section.

  • Consider an Opportunity in the Prospecting Sales Stage is deleted.

When the Sales Stage has Closed Won (Sales Plan Category)

When a Sales Stage has selected the Sales Plan Category as Closed Won, you cannot delete the Opportunity from your account. The Opportunity will be moved to the Archived tab.

  • The Sales Plan Category for a Sales Stage is configured from the Settings → Opportunities → Sales Stage. Here, you can customize the Sales Plan Category to be Closed Won. For Instance, in the Value Proposition stage.
