If you have created product and services in BCM, this is by design behavior
due to some differences in database schema between OA and BCM. We hope to
improve this behavior in future.
My recommendation is to use OA for storing product/services inventory. OA
has richer exepreince when it comes to inventory management.
On your second question, expected revenue is based on the probably value of
opportunity and total revenue. So for example, if your total revenue from
all the items in Opportunity is $500 and opportunity probably value is 10%,
the exepcted revenue will show $50. Are you seeing different behavior?
