3. Specific rules & automation
Competitor Creation Process
Competitor creation can be done by any user. De-duplication rules are set on the name and on the city, and will notify the users in case of any duplicates found but do not block the competitor creation.
Once the competitor is created, it is sent for approval to the Data Steward of the GBU for which the competitor is created:
A picklist “Status” is available on the Competitor page in order to define the status of the Competitor. Following values are available:
- Requested for approval
- Approved
- Rejected
Only competitor with status “validated” can be used during the creation of a competitive insight; it means if the competitor is not validated by the GBU Data Steward, it can’t be used in the CRM.
Competitor Email trigger
Saving a new Competitor record after creation triggers a validation workflow and a request email sent to the GBU Data Steward (Queue defined based on the field “GBU”). The email will contain the following text, and will be sent in the formal Solvay template:
4. History
Product information section on Opportunity product used to be a custom object because the visibility of the section was different of the visibility of the rest of the opportunity. Today visibility is the same so all fields have been re-created in opportunity product and all features plugged on the previous custom object are/will be plugged on opportunity product directly.
