Next activity:

This is one of the new features in the Odoo 14 Sales module. With this, if the users want, they can see and access the next Activity right from the module’s dashboard itself. Once the users enter the dashboard, they can find the tree view, where they can find the numbers, salespersons, customers, next activity, status, etc.

With this Next Activity column, users, salesperson, or sales managers can also schedule all upcoming activities related to sales. And they can schedule more than one activity at the same time that can be the order upsell, make a call, communicate with the buyers, call follow up, or anything else.

Chat with the salespersons:

This is again another new feature added to version 14’s Sales module. This helps with easy and frequent communication between Salespersons and the Sales managers thereby, improving the sales flow.

Forecast report:

Another new and significant feature of this module is the improved Forecast report. Users can create a Sales Order from the dashboard by entering the customer details along with the delivery address and invoice address, and the other required information in the given form and click the ‘create’ button there. Once the order is created and then confirmed, the users can view the forecasted report of that sales order. The report gets generated for the specific product users will select.

So, these were some of the most significant and new features that got introduced in this module of Odoo 14. Now, businesses can enjoy even better and smooth Sales management with it.
