Things to Know About Adding Products to Opportunities

Sorting

• In the opportunity products related list, you can’t sort columns by list price.
• In the Add Products window, you can’t sort by list price after refining your list of products using the search box.

Opportunity Amount

The opportunity amount is the sum of the products added to the opportunity. You can’t edit the amount without deleting the products from the opportunity.

Total Price

The total price is the quantity multiplied by the sales price.

Multiple Currencies

If your Salesforce admin has enabled multiple currencies, the opportunity currency dictates the currency of the associated price book entries. You can’t edit the currency unless you delete the products from the opportunity.

Product Status

You can add to an opportunity any product with an active price book entry, since product status doesn’t determine a product’s eligibility to be used in a deal. If a product’s status is inactive, but it has an active price book entry, you can still add the inactive product to an opportunity.
