In Microsoft Business Solutions CRM 1.2, closing an opportunity before all sales stages are completed cancels the open activities
In Microsoft® Business Solutions CRM 1.2, create a sales process that creates tasks in each stage and has a wait condition that waits for the tasks to be completed or canceled before moving to the next sales stage. Closing the opportunity before the sales process is complete will automatically cancel the tasks from the current stage and open the tasks from the next stage.
For example: If you have the following sales process:
When opportunity is created
Stage1
Create Task 1
wait
Task 1 is either completed or canceled
end stage
Stage2
Create Task 2
wait
Task 2 is either completed or canceled
end stage
Stage3
Create Task 3
wait
Task 3 is either completed or canceled
end stage
Closing the opportunity while it is in Stage 1 will automatically cancel Task 1. Because Task 1 is being canceled, the wait condition is being met. Therefore, the opportunity jumps to Stage 2 and Task 2 opens. This causes the owner of the opportunity to have to manually cancel Task 2. Canceling Task 2 after the opportunity is closed will not jump the opportunity to Stage 3 or open Task 3.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
