 Issue Context:

The custom field is not being updated by the Price Rule even after enabling triggers in the CPQ Package Settings.

 Root Cause:

After creating new fields or updates, the Post Install Script must be executed to register custom fields in the Calculator Referenced Fields list.

 Solution Steps:

Navigate to Setup > Installed Packages > Salesforce CPQ.

Locate the Post Install Scripts section and click Run.

Test the Price Rule again to verify that the custom field is updated correctly.

 Salesforce CPQ Documentation Reference:

Custom fields must be registered with the calculator for the Price Rule engine to interact with them properly​​.

 Behavior Explanation:

The Price Rule fails to apply correctly because formula fields used in Price Conditions are not natively supported for the first evaluation cycle.

The system requires additional recalculation to fetch and calculate the correct formula-derived value.

 Root Cause:

Price Rule evaluation relies on static field values at runtime. When formula fields are used, their values may not be immediately available due to dependency on intermediate calculations.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Salesforce documentation discourages the use of formula fields in Price Conditions for real-time calculations and recommends using static fields or Lookup Queries for consistent behavior ​.

 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 ​.

To manage a subset of eco-friendly products for opportunities flagged as eco-friendly while allowing flexibility to include all bundles, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Filter Product Rule

Filter Product Rules help define dynamic filtering of products displayed during the quoting process.

Navigate to Product Rules

Go to Salesforce Setup → Product Rules and click New.

Set the Type to Filter and define a clear Name such as "Eco-Friendly Product Filter."

Configure the Filter Logic

Define the conditions to identify eco-friendly and bundle products.

Use the Conditions related list to target the relevant product fields (e.g., a custom checkbox for eco-friendly products and a type field for bundles).

Example condition:

Field = Eco-Friendly Checkbox

Operator = Equals

Value = True

Step 2: Set up the Product Action

Product Actions define what the rule does when triggered.

Add a Product Action

In the Product Rule, go to the Product Actions related list and click New.

Set the Type to Optional Filter. This allows the system to apply the filter by default but enables users to remove the filter and see all bundles.

Link to Add Products Button

Make sure this action links to the Add Products custom action.

Step 3: Ensure Opportunity Integration

The Opportunity flagged as eco-friendly must drive this behavior.

Custom Field Dependency

Ensure the Opportunity has a field (e.g., Eco-Friendly Checkbox) that can be referenced in the Filter Product Rule or through a related custom formula on the Quote.

Dynamic Behavior

When the Opportunity is flagged, the filter is applied dynamically, displaying only eco-friendly and bundle products in the Add Products dialog.

Step 4: Test and Validate

Test the behavior by flagging different Opportunities as eco-friendly and verifying the Add Products functionality:

Eco-Friendly flag → Default to eco-friendly products and bundles.

No flag → All products, including non-eco-friendly bundles, are shown.

Additional Considerations:

Search Filter IntegrationThe Search Filter can complement this approach by providing additional options for users to refine their selections further​​.

This setup allows Universal Containers to meet its business objectives while maintaining flexibility for its sales team​.

 Requirement:

Track individual serial numbers for each unit of Product A sold.

 Solution Details:

Asset Conversion Field determines how assets are created from Quote Lines.

Setting Asset Conversion to One Per Unit creates one Asset record for each unit sold, allowing tracking of individual serial numbers.

 Implementation:

Navigate to the Product Record for Product A.

Set Asset Conversion to One Per Unit.

 Justification:

This setup aligns with Salesforce CPQ's approach for granular tracking of Assets associated with product sales​​.

 Considerations for Authorizing Calculation Service:

The Calculation Service must be authorized by a user who has sufficient privileges and stable permissions.

 Solution Steps:

Option B: Use a non-human admin user (e.g., an integration user) to authorize the Calculation Service. This ensures consistent access and avoids disruptions due to personnel changes.

Option C: Place the user at the top of the Role Hierarchy to ensure full visibility and access across relevant objects.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Proper user configuration for the Calculation Service is outlined in the CPQ Authorization Guidelines ​.

 Requirement:

Universal Containers wants to control whether the Additional Discount column appears on the Quote Template.

 Solution:

By creating a custom checkbox field (Show_Discount__c), administrators can dynamically control the visibility of the Additional Discount column.

This checkbox is referenced in the Conditional Print Field of the Quote Template Line Column settings for the Additional Discount column.

 Mechanism:

When the Show_Discount__c checkbox is TRUE, the column appears.

When FALSE, it does not display.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Conditional Print Field functionality in Quote Templates allows for dynamic content visibility based on field values ​.

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 ​.

 Scenario:

Product A has a 36-month Subscription Term with a List Price of $36,000.

Product B has a 1-month Subscription Term with a List Price of $2,000.

Quote Subscription Term is 18 months.

 Calculation:

Product A Prorate Multiplier = 18 / 36 = 0.5.

Net Total = $36,000 × 15 × 0.5 = $270,000.

Product B Prorate Multiplier = 18 / 1 = 18.

Net Total = $2,000 × 15 × 18 = $36,000.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: The Net Total for Product B is incorrectly inflated.

C: The Prorate Multiplier for Product B should reflect the Quote Term-to-Subscription Term ratio, not default to 1.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Prorated pricing and multiplier calculations are explained in Subscription Pricing Guidelines ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Calculate the pricing steps for a subscription product with a 24-month term.

 Calculation Details:

Regular Unit Price:

Default Subscription Term = 12 months.

Adjusted for 24 months: $120 × 24 / 12 = $216.00.

Customer Unit Price:

Apply 10% Volume Discount: $216.00 × (1 − 0.10) = $194.40.

Apply 20% Additional Discount: $194.40 × (1 − 0.20) = $172.80.

Net Unit Price:

Apply 5% Partner Discount: $172.80 × (1 − 0.05) = $164.16.

 Validation:

Verify each step in the Salesforce CPQ price waterfall to ensure accuracy.
