Contents of the Manage Opportunities Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Opportunities screen.

Identification

Use this group box to specify the opportunity ID and name.

Field Description
Opportunity ID Enter a unique ID to identify the opportunity, or leave this field blank to have Costpoint automatically assign an ID if the Auto-assign Opportunity IDs check box is selected on the Configure Opportunity Settings screen.
Name

Enter the name for the opportunity. You can enter a longer name on the Details/Addresses tab.

If the opportunity is imported from GovWin IQ, this field defaults to the GovWin IQ opportunity name, but you can change it.

Record Type

This field displays the record type. Valid values are:

  • Manual: This indicates that the record was added using this screen.
  • GovWin IQ: This indicates that the record was added through the GovWin IQ integration.
Record Status

Select the record status of the opportunity. Valid values are Active and Inactive.

If you select Inactive, this opportunity will not be available in the lookup within a contract or subcontract record, but you can manually enter the opportunity ID. In addition, you will not be able to initialize a project from this opportunity on the Project Initialization subtask. Project initialization is allowed only for active opportunities.

If this opportunity is active and linked to a contract, subcontract, and/or project, and you updated its record status to Inactive, the contract, subcontract, and/or project will remain linked to this opportunity.

Exclude from Reports Select this check box to exclude the opportunity from reports available in the Contracts domain. This is important when you need to generate reports and exclude certain types of opportunities (for example, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity and blanket purchase agreement opportunities) to avoid overstating the reports.
