new field in opportunities

Hi everybody,
I propose to add a new date field in the entity "opportunity": nextStep date

This in order to list the opportunities in the find screen by the next 
step date , i.e when the next action has to be taken,

Regards,
Hans

It would also be good if the probability would be set automatically based
on the stage and that a probability value would be shown based on
(estimated value)*(probability%).

Pierre

Hi Adrian,

Sure this is a solution too especially for the larger shops, this 
solution and the one you suggest do not exclude each other.

To illustrate i am with you you, we are developing a separate task 
manager with which tasks can be generated on events happening in the system.

A pre-version can be tried on ofbizdemo.antwebsystems.com/taskmgr demo 
system. (we are working on it.)

Regards,
Hans

Hans,

I know this suggestion is a little late, but I will make it anyway.

The way I handle this type of scenario is to create Work Efforts. "Next 
Step"should be a TASK WorkEffort with a child EVENT WorkEffort (the date 
of the next step). That way the task and event can be assigned to users 
so they appear on their task lists and event calendars, user's calendar 
clients can be set up to pop up reminders, etc.

Hi Hans,

I think that is a good idea.

If you have a patch I will assist in testing.

Pierre
