Which statement about Stage 5 movement is true?

• A. It is triggered by sending a TSR to the client
• B. It is triggered by closing the deal
• C. Submitting Sales Support case for Contract Audit/Entry automatically moves the Opportunity to Stage 5
• D. It is triggered by a status update from finance

Answer: (C)

Stage 5 movement happens when the contract review process is kicked off through a Sales Support case for Contract Audit/Entry. This internal step ensures all contract terms, pricing, and approvals are checked and confirmed before advancing the opportunity. Submitting that case signals that the contractual details are ready for formal review, so the system automatically moves the opportunity to Stage 5, which represents readiness for finalization.

Other triggers don’t fit because they don’t directly initiate the contract audit step. Merely sending a TSR to the client, closing the deal, or waiting on a finance status update are not the contract-audit event that pushes the opportunity forward into Stage 5. The contract audit/entry action is the specific gateway to that stage.
