The correct first step is to useSimulateon the pricing procedure. Simulation allows the consultant to evaluate pricing logic in a controlled manner and inspect how individual pricing elements contribute to the final value. This is particularly valuable for complex transactions involving subscription pricing, add-ons, usage tiers, discounts, and contract-driven adjustments.

The consultant should trace the price waterfall from the initial price through applicable adjustments and identify where the calculated amount diverges from expected commercial terms. That provides evidence about whether the problem lies in input context, a decision table, an adjustment, an incorrect procedure step, or another pricing element.

Option A masks the issue by overriding the calculated amount without identifying the defective configuration. Option B is similarly inappropriate; deactivating and reactivating the entire procedure does not diagnose pricing logic and can create operational impact.

A structured troubleshooting approach begins by reproducing and tracing the calculation before modifying configuration. Simulation is therefore the appropriate diagnostic mechanism.
