 Requirement:

Clients can negotiate a discount for Product A until a specified date before contract activation.

 Relevant Fields on the Contracted Price Record:

Product: Identifies Product A as the subject of the negotiated price.

Expiration Date: Specifies the end of the discount eligibility period.

Discount: Sets the agreed discount percentage for the negotiated price.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Contracted Price Record management is key to implementing client-specific pricing strategies ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Universal Containers sells a Product exclusively as part of a bundle and does not want it to appear in the Product Selection screen.

 Solution:

The Component checkbox ensures the Product is only available as part of a bundle and is hidden from the general Product Selection screen.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product Record for the item.

Select the Component checkbox.

Save the changes.

 Validation:

Confirm that the Product is not visible on the Product Selection screen but is available within its assigned bundles.

 Requirement:

Ensure a product priced as a Percent of Total has a minimum price of $100.

 Solution Steps:

Option A: Create a Price Book Entry of $100 to set the minimum price for the product.

Option D: Create a $0 Price Book Entry to handle scenarios where Percent of Total calculation would otherwise drop below $100.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B: The custom Percent_of_Total_Target_c field is not used for minimum pricing enforcement.

C: The Percent of Total Constraint field alone does not enforce minimum pricing.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Percent of Total pricing and minimum price settings are described in CPQ Pricing Configuration ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Control the visibility of fields in the Quote Line Editor.

 Solution:

The Edit Lines Field Set Name special field on the Quote object references the field set used to control which Quote Line fields are visible in the editor.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Field Set on the Quote Line object.

Add or remove fields from the field set referenced in the Edit Lines Field Set Name field.

 Validation:

Test the Quote Line Editor to ensure only the configured fields are visible.

 Requirement Overview:

Reduce scrolling in the configurator for a bundle with many Features and Options.

 Solutions:

A. Option Selection Method = Add: Allows users to select options from a pop-up window instead of scrolling through the configurator.

D. Group Features into Tabs: Use the Category field to group Features into tabs for easier navigation.

E. Option Layout = Tabs: Configure the bundle to display Options in a tabular format, reducing scrolling.

 Steps to Configure:

Set the Option Selection Method to Add on relevant Product Features.

Populate the Category field on Product Features to group them into tabs.

Change the Option Layout on the bundle Product to Tabs.

 Validation:

Test the configurator to ensure the layout reduces scrolling and improves usability.

 Requirement Overview:

Maintenance Feature: At least one Product Option must be selected.

Support Feature: At least one and no more than two Product Options must be selected.

 Key Configurations:

Min Options = 1: Ensures users select at least one option.

Max Options = 2: Ensures users cannot select more than two options.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Feature Record for Maintenance and set Min Options = 1.

Navigate to the Feature Record for Support and set Min Options = 1 and Max Options = 2.

 Validation:

Test the bundle in the Quote Line Editor and verify the selection behavior for both Features.

Amendment Functionality:

Amendments are used to modify existing contracts by adjusting quantities, discounts, or adding products while maintaining contract continuity.

Supported Scenarios:

A: Quantity changes with new discounts can be applied during amendments.

C: New products can be added and aligned with the contract’s existing term (co-terminated).

Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Amendments are extensively documented under Contract and Subscription Management ​.

 Issue Context:

A Contract could not be created from an Order for a new customer.

 Troubleshooting Steps:

A. Confirm Order Product Activation:

Contracts can only be generated for activated Order Products.

C. Check Apex Jobs:

Errors in the contracting process are logged in Apex Jobs. Review these logs for potential issues.

E. Ensure Subscription-Based Order Product:

Contracts require at least one subscription-based Product on the Order.

 Validation:

Verify that all conditions are met and retest the Contract creation process.

 Requirement Overview:

Each sales team needs access to a specific subset of products without requiring separate Price Books.

 Solution:

Use multiple bundles with validation Product Rules to restrict access to specific products based on user criteria (e.g., Profile or custom field).

This avoids the need to create and manage separate Price Books for each team.

 Steps to Configure:

Create a bundle for each subset of products.

Use Product Rules to validate and restrict access based on sales team criteria.

 Validation:

Test the Product Selection page to ensure that each sales team can access only their specific subset of products.

 Unsegmented Product Setup:

By setting the Default Pricing Table to Standard, the product appears unsegmented when first added to a quote.

This allows users to manually segment the product later if necessary.

 Default Pricing Table Configuration:

The Standard table ensures that pricing is applied uniformly across the quote without segmentation.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

This behavior is defined in the Price Dimension Configuration Guidelines in CPQ documentation .
