A main status is used for the sales funnel and for processing sales requests. It is also used for process visualization with progress symbols for cases. Usually, they summarize several process statuses found in the process definition.
For optimizing success control, the overview lists (Sales/Sales/Overview/... Sales and service cases overview/... menu) have an embedded sales funnel. It analyzes the cases’ data on a real-time basis and provides information about the number and turnover (alternatively weighted or unweighted) of businesses opportunities and quotes in the main acquisition phases of the sales or service process.
To represent these phases, there are main statuses. A main status combines several process statuses and is displayed by the sales funnel as a segment.
