After selecting which products you would like to add to the opportunity, you will then progress to the next screen (Edit Selected Products) where you can select the quantity and set the sales price. Potentially there may be some fields we would like to add or remove from this layout too.

Firstly, navigate to Setup and select Object Manager. The quickest way to locate an object is using the quick find search box, so using this feature find and select the Price Book Entry object. From the side menu select Search Layouts.

From the Search Layouts menu you will see a list of layout profiles available for editing. At this point, select the appropriate profile you wish to make changes to. In our example we have selected the default layout.

As you can see from our example below, the five selected fields match up with what we had originally. Simply select the relevant fields you wish to add or remove from the layout, making sure to press save after you’ve made your changes.
