Opportunity

On the Opportunities form, enter the number or code to use for identifying the new opportunity. This number is used to identify this record throughout the system. If you do not specify a number, the system assigns the next unique number available when you save the record. Once you save the record, this field is disabled.

On the Opportunity Tasks form, once you save the record, this field is disabled.

On other forms, you can select the opportunity number or it displays.

Note:  If you specify a number and the number contains a special character which is the same as the current default wildcard character, you must change the wildcard character. Refer to Using Wildcard Characters for additional information.
