The merging process needs to be cleaned up.
What we are asking for is pretty simple. We want employees to ONLY be assigned the "position" listed for them within the CRM. Secondly, the "positions" should only be assigned to currently active users in the CRM. Your CRM already has the ability to differentiate active employees and their positions.
We also need the ability to not be "forced" to assign a salesperson to a lead when merging.
