Convert Lead

Explanation

This activity is used to convert a lead to a prospect or customer. At the same time an opportunity and, optionally an activity, will be created for the account. If the lead is registered against an existing account, this activity is only used to convert the lead into an opportunity and, optionally to add an activity.

Click Convert Lead in the Lead page to convert the lead. Optionally, you can use a template customer. If you want to overwrite the market on the lead from the template, select the company from the List of Values for the Company field and then enable Overwrite Order Related Data option.
