• C. Vlocity CMT Administration: To populate the API cache in Salesforce Industries CPQ, you typically use the Vlocity CMT (Cloud Management Tool) Administration interface. This tool provides the necessary functionalities to manage and configure API caching, allowing for efficient data handling and improved system performance.

• B. The price category
• D. The charge (amount): Parts of a pricing element in Salesforce Industries CPQ include the 'price category', which classifies the type of pricing or charge being applied (like base price, discount, surcharge), and the 'charge' itself, which is the specific amount of money associated with the pricing action. These components are critical for defining and applying pricing logic in the system.

In Vlocity, which is now part of Salesforce Industries, object types often utilize an IS-A type of inheritance architecture. This type of architecture is used where a subclass inherits from a parent class, signifying that an object of the subclass is a type of the parent class object. For example, in Salesforce Industries CPQ, you might find that product options inherit characteristics from a generic product class, which allows them to maintain some base functionalities defined in the parent class while adding specific attributes or behaviors unique to the subclass. This IS-A relationship is foundational in object-oriented p

rogramming and is employed within the Salesforce platform to enhance modularity and reusability.

In the line item configuration window of Vlocity Cart, the information that can be modified includes:

• Service account (A) and Billing account (B):

Assigning two base prices to a product in Salesforce Industries CPQ can be accomplished through the use of multiple price list entries. Each price list entry can specify a different base price for the same product under different conditions or for different markets. This approach allows businesses to adapt their pricing strategies flexibly across different customer segments or geographic areas, ensuring that the pricing reflects the market conditions or strategic objectives.

In Vlocity, you can build a promotion using:

• A. An individual product: A single product can be the basis of a promotion, offering special pricing or conditions that distinguish it from the standard offering.
• B. A bundle of products: A group of products can be combined into a bundle, which itself can be offered as a promotion. This is common in scenarios where complementary products are sold together at a discounted rate.
• C. A bundle within a bundle: Nested bundles, or a hierarchy of product bundles, can also be used to create complex promotions that provide layered pricing structures or purchasing incentives.

These options provide flexibility in designing promotions that cater to diverse market needs and customer preferences, enhancing the effectiveness of sales strategies in competitive markets.

In Salesforce Industries CPQ, when pricing bundles, there are multiple strategies you can employ:

• Assigning the parent product a zero price and managing pricing entirely through the child products. This approach is often used when the value of the bundle is derived solely from its components.
• Assigning a price to the parent product and setting the prices of the child products to zero. This strategy might be used when the parent product's price encompasses the total value of the bundle, and the child products are considered included or complimentary.

These methods offer flexibility in how bundles are presented and priced, allowing businesses to tailor their pricing strategy to match their sales and marketing objectives.
