Closed Opportunity Issue (and workaround) in Dynamics CRM 2016 (8.1)
I was scanning the Microsoft Community Forums the other day when someone was asking a question about why the Actual Revenue field would get populated even if an Opportunity was closed as “Lost.” This didn’t make any sense to me, so I logged into a sandbox instance of Dynamics CRM 2016 sp1 and tried it… Continue reading Closed Opportunity Issue (and workaround) in Dynamics CRM 2016 (8.1)
