AW Computing has been advertising a new keyboard that was released at the beginning of the month. The sales team has an additional incentive to add…

For a product to be selectable on an opportunity, two primary conditions must be met. First, the product must have an active price book entry within an active price book. Second, that specific price book must be selected on the opportunity record itself. If the sales representative is using an opportunity with a different price book (e.g., a standard price book instead of a custom one for the new keyboard), the product will not appear in the selection list. Therefore, the administrator must check both the product's association with the correct price book and the price book selected on the opportunity.

B. Make sure the price book Is in the company currency: While currency mismatch can cause issues, it doesn't prevent the product from being available for selection if the price book is otherwise valid.
D. Verify the product has a start date entered: A start date is not a required field on a product or price book entry, and its absence would not prevent the product from being available.
