## Sales Pipeline to contextualize Sales Stages in Opportunities

A Sales Pipeline allows grouping and ordering Sales Stages according to a specific sales process.
This provides greater flexibility for organizations that manage different types of opportunities requiring different sales workflows.

Some examples:
- Simple / fast sales vs. complex project-based sales
- Product sales vs. service engagements
- New business vs. renewals

In practice, a Sales Pipeline acts as a filter for the Sales Stage field on Opportunities window which gives:
- Better alignment with different sales processes
- Simpler sales stage selection
- Consistent stage ordering
- Improved reporting capabilities
- Greater flexibility for CRM implementations

A new window *Sales Pipelines* has been added.
There, you can select which Sales Stages will be available on opportunities using a given Sales Pipeline.

Note that the migration script:
- creates a default Sales Pipeline for each tenant
- adds all existing Sales Stages to this pipeline
- assigns the default Sales Pipeline to all existing opportunities
