CPQ-Specialist Salesforce Certified CPQ Specialist (WI25) Questions and Answers

 Evaluation Order Logic:

Calculator Evaluation Events determine when a rule is executed:

On Initialization: Executes before other events.

Before Calculate: Executes before the calculation phase.

On Calculate: Executes during the calculation phase.

Evaluation Order: Within the same event phase, rules execute based on their Evaluation Order (lower numbers execute first).

 Why Rule B Executes First:

Rule B uses the On Initialization event, which precedes all other events, regardless of the Evaluation Order.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A, B, and C: Rules with Before Calculate or On Calculate events execute after On Initialization.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Pricing rule evaluation is covered in the CPQ Pricing Logic Guidelines ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Ensure the Renewal Quote is accurate and includes all renewable products from the original Contract.

 Solution:

C. Renewal Quoted Checkbox:

Select the Renewal Quoted checkbox on the Contract to generate Renewal Quotes automatically.

D. Renew Contracts Button:

Use the Renew Contracts button from the Account’s Contract Related List to create Renewal Quotes directly.

 Steps to Configure:

Ensure the Contract is active and associated with the correct Account.

Use either the Renewal Quoted checkbox or the Renew Contracts button to generate Renewal Quotes.

 Scenario:

Original subscription: $600 Net Unit Price × Quantity 10 × 24 months = $14,400.

Refund: Ten months into the contract, 14 months remain unused.

 Calculation:

Refund amount = ($600 × 10 × 14) ÷ 24 = -$3,500.

Amended subscription refund (Quantity = 0): 14 months refund prorated = -$2,500.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A, C, D: The refund calculations either overstate or understate the prorated refund based on the subscription term and remaining months.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Prorated refunds and subscription amendments are explained in CPQ Subscription Pricing Documentation ​.

Understanding the Requirement:

Universal Containers wants a bundle with pre-selected Product Options.

Sales reps should mostly leave the default configuration as-is but need the flexibility to make changes when required.

Salesforce CPQ Feature Overview:

Configuration Type:

Determines whether sales reps can modify the configuration of a bundle product.

Setting it to Allowed permits the flexibility to configure without mandating it.

Configuration Event:

Defines when the bundle configurator is accessible.

Setting it to Edit prevents the configurator from opening automatically but allows sales reps to access it by clicking the "Reconfigure" link.

Configuration Steps:

Navigate to the Bundle Product record in Salesforce CPQ.

Set the Configuration Type field to Allowed. This ensures the configurator is optional and not enforced.

Set the Configuration Event field to Edit. This enables the configurator to be accessible only upon user action.

Key Behaviors:

With these settings, sales reps can use the default configuration but still make changes if needed by accessing the configurator manually.

The "Reconfigure" link in the quote line becomes available for editing.

Testing and Validation:

Add the bundle to a Quote.

Verify that the configurator does not open automatically.

Check that the "Reconfigure" link is accessible on the Quote Line for editing options.

References:

This solution is aligned with Salesforce CPQ documentation on managing bundle configurations and providing sales reps with flexible configuration options​​.

 Requirement:

Different profiles need to see distinct sets of fields in the Quote Line Editor.

 Solution:

Create two field sets on the Quote Line object, one for each profile.

Use a text formula field named EditLinesFieldSetName on the Quote object to dynamically return the appropriate field set name based on the user’s profile.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A & B: Field sets must be created on the Quote Line object, not the Quote object.

D: This duplicates C but introduces a typo or incorrect description in the explanation.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Field set configurations for the Quote Line Editor are detailed in CPQ Field Configuration Documentation ​.

 Requirement:

Deploy Price Rules with Lookup Queries that reference a new Rental Rates object.

 Best Practices for Deployment Order:

Step 1: Rental Rates: Deploy the object and data it references first to ensure lookup data is available.

Step 2: Price Rules: Deploy Price Rules to establish the logic governing pricing calculations.

Step 3: Price Conditions: These evaluate criteria for the rules to execute.

Step 4: Lookup Queries: Queries must reference both the object and conditions, so deploy them after both.

Step 5: Price Actions: Set last to ensure that the actions triggered by the rules execute correctly.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A, B, D: Deploying Lookup Queries or Price Actions before Rental Rates or Price Rules may cause execution errors due to missing references.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Best practices for deploying CPQ Price Rules and Lookup Queries are detailed in Salesforce documentation ​.

 Issue:

Sales reps experience excessive horizontal scrolling to access the Clone and Delete actions in the Quote Line Editor.

 Solution:

Quote Line Editor Drawers provide a compact and user-friendly way to access actions without excessive scrolling.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to Setup > Custom Actions.

Configure the Clone and Delete actions to appear in the Quote Line Editor drawers.

 Validation:

Open the Quote Line Editor and confirm that the actions are accessible without horizontal scrolling.

 Requirement:

Ensure the price of Tiny Boxes ($0.005) is handled with proper decimal precision.

 Solution:

Adjust the Unit Price Scale to 3 in the Pricing and Calculation Package Settings, enabling Salesforce CPQ to handle prices up to three decimal places.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: Field-level precision on Quote Line does not control pricing precision.

C: The Product record's Unit Price Scale cannot override global settings.

D: Price Rules are unnecessary for simple decimal precision adjustments.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Decimal precision configuration is described in CPQ Pricing Settings ​.

 Requirement:

Amend an active contract and adjust prices for subscriptions and assets based on new discounts.

 Solution:

Use the Amend Contract process.

Adjust prices for subscriptions or assets directly by modifying the Net Price or Price field.

Use the Refresh Prices button to apply changes to the amended contract.

 Why Other Options are Incorrect:

A: Cloning Quote Lines is unnecessary and inefficient for contract amendments.

B: Changing the contract status to Draft is not supported in standard CPQ.

D: Creating a new Price Book is not required for this use case.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

The Amendments Process is extensively documented in CPQ Subscription Management ​.

 Requirement Overview:

A user must have the ability to approve any approval request, regardless of who the request is assigned to.

 Solution:

Granting the Modify All Data permission provides administrative privileges across all Salesforce objects, including the ability to approve any approval request in Advanced Approvals.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the user’s Profile or Permission Set.

Add the Modify All Data permission.

Save and test the user’s ability to approve any request.

 Validation:

Confirm the user can approve approval requests without assignment restrictions.

Understanding the Requirement:

Universal Containers wants sales reps to associate Campaign records with Quote Lines using a lookup field in the Quote Line Editor.

The requirement includes avoiding warning messages when searching for Campaign records.

Salesforce CPQ Lookup Field Behavior:

When a lookup field is added to the Quote Line Editor, Salesforce CPQ searches for records in the target object (e.g., Campaign).

To avoid warnings, the target object (Campaign) must have a specific field set named CPQ_Lookup, which defines the fields displayed in the search results.

Steps to Implement the Solution:

Step 1: Navigate to the Campaign object in Salesforce Setup.

Step 2: Go to the "Field Sets" related list and click "New."

Step 3: Name the field set CPQ_Lookup (case-sensitive).

Step 4: Add the fields you want to display in the lookup search results (e.g., Campaign Name, Start Date, Owner).

Step 5: Save the field set.

Integration with the Quote Line Editor:

The system will now use the fields defined in the CPQ_Lookup field set when sales reps perform a search for Campaign records.

This ensures the lookup field operates without errors or warnings in the Quote Line Editor.

Key Considerations:

Ensure that all required fields for identifying Campaign records are included in the CPQ_Lookup field set.

Test the lookup functionality in the Quote Line Editor to confirm smooth operation.

Validation:

Add a Campaign lookup field to a Quote Line in the Quote Line Editor and test the search functionality. Verify that the fields defined in the CPQ_Lookup field set appear in the search results without warnings.

References:

Salesforce CPQ documentation on setting up lookup fields and field sets emphasizes creating a CPQ_Lookup field set to avoid warnings

 Requirement:

Minimize maintenance and ensure scalability for professional services in enterprise server bundles.

New professional services are introduced frequently, requiring dynamic handling.

 Solution Steps:

Dynamic Feature (B): Allows dynamic grouping and population of professional services products, ensuring that new services are automatically included in the configuration without manual updates.

Filter Product Rule (D): Ensures only compatible professional services are displayed by applying a filtering condition with a Product Action.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: Custom Actions are useful for guiding users during selection but do not minimize maintenance or scale dynamically.

C: A nested bundle containing all services is cumbersome to maintain as new services are introduced.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Dynamic Features and Filter Product Rules are key tools for managing scalable configurations ​.

 Requirement Overview:

A Percent of Total option in a multi-level bundle must calculate its value based on other options in the same level.

 Key Configuration:

The Percent of Total Scope field determines the scope of the calculation.

Setting it to Components limits the calculation to options within the same bundle level.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product Option record for the Percent of Total option.

Set Percent of Total Scope to Components.

 Validation:

Add the bundle to a Quote and verify that the Percent of Total calculation includes only the options at the same level.

 Scenario:

The customer wants to increase the subscription quantity for the last month of the contract. The renewal Opportunity must reflect this change.

 Solution:

Generate an Order from the amendment Opportunity to capture the changes.

Contract the amendment Order to update the Contract.

Refresh the renewal Quote to synchronize the increased quantity.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B: Terminating the contract with a specific end date is unnecessary for this scenario.

C & D: Deleting Renewal Opportunities or Quotes adds unnecessary manual steps and risks data integrity.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

The process for handling amendments and renewals is detailed in Amendments and Renewal Configuration 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 ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Universal Containers wants to use split Orders to manage fulfillment by separating items based on their shipping schedules.

 Key Considerations:

Component-type Options: When splitting Orders, component-type Options are treated independently and can be split into different Orders.

Bundle Structure: Splitting Orders does not maintain the bundle structure, meaning the parent-child relationships of the bundle are not preserved in the split Orders.

 Steps to Configure:

Ensure that the Order by Quote Line Group field or a custom grouping field is used to facilitate splitting the Orders based on shipment schedules.

 Validation:

Test the split Order functionality by creating a Quote with a hardware bundle and ensuring that the bundle and components can be split appropriately.

 Requirement Overview:

Configure tiered pricing for Product A specific to a customer for all future Quotes.

 Solution Details:

Use a Discount Schedule with tiered pricing.

Assign the Discount Schedule to a Contracted Price record tied to the customer's Account.

 Steps to Configure:

Create the Discount Schedule with the desired tiers.

Navigate to the customer’s Account.

Create a Contracted Price record:

Reference Product A.

Assign the Discount Schedule.

 Validation:

Generate a Quote for the customer and confirm the tiered pricing is applied correctly.

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 ​.

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​​.

User TrainingTrain sales reps on how to toggle the filter manually if needed.

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

 Requirement Overview:

Sales reps need to know when manual overrides on a Discount Schedule will remain unaffected by Admin updates.

 Key Behavior:

When the Save or Quick Save button is clicked, the manual override is committed, and the Discount Schedule changes made by the Admin will not affect it.

 Validation:

Test the behavior by manually overriding a discount, saving the Quote, and confirming that Admin updates to the Discount Schedule do not impact the saved Quote.

 Issue Context:

Users encounter a warning when searching Campaign records in the Quote Line Editor.

 Root Cause:

For Lookup fields to work correctly in Salesforce CPQ's Quote Line Editor, a Twin Field must exist on the target object (Campaign) with the same API name as the Quote Line lookup field.

 Solution Steps:

Create a custom field on the Campaign Object with the same API name as the lookup field on the Quote Line Object.

Ensure the field types match (e.g., both are Lookup fields or Text fields).

 Validation:

Test the functionality by searching for Campaign records in the Quote Line Editor. The warning message should no longer appear.

 Salesforce CPQ Documentation Reference:

This is a common configuration for CPQ Lookup fields in the Quote Line Editor​​.

 Requirement Overview:

Prevent the user from selecting Product B unless Product A is also selected in the bundle.

 Key Configurations:

Type = Dependency: Ensures that one Product is dependent on the selection of another.

Active = True: Activates the Option Constraint for use in the configurator.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Option Constraint record.

Set the Type to Dependency.

Mark the Active checkbox as True.

Define Constrained Option (Product B) and Constraining Option (Product A).

 Validation:

Add the bundle to a Quote and confirm that selecting Product B is only possible when Product A is also selected.

 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.

 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 ​.

 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:

Show or hide price-related data in the Quote PDF based on the Primary Checkbox field value.

 Solution Details:

The Conditional Print Field on Template Sections enables dynamic visibility.

Add the Primary Checkbox as a reference in the Conditional Print Field for the section containing price-related columns.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Quote Template.

Locate the section containing price-related data.

Set the Conditional Print Field to reference the Primary Checkbox.

 Validation:

Generate PDFs with the Primary checkbox set to both True and False and confirm the expected visibility of pricing data.

 Requirement:

Ensure Configuration Attribute values are mapped only to parent bundle Quote Lines, not child Product Options.

 Solution:

Setting Apply to Product Options to False on the parent bundle ensures the Configuration Attribute’s value is mapped only to the parent Quote Line.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: Changing Apply Immediately settings for child options does not control parent-quote mapping.

B: Auto-Select = False does not relate to mapping Configuration Attributes.

C: Apply to Product Options must be set on the parent bundle, not the Configuration Attribute itself.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Configuration Attributes Mapping Behavior is detailed in CPQ Bundling Configuration Guidelines ​.

When a user performs a contract renewal and finds that the Price Book on the Renewal Opportunity or Quote is incorrect, the issue often arises due to the absence of a Price Book reference on the original Contract. To address this, the Renewal Pricebook ID field on the Contract must be populated. This field ensures the correct Price Book is carried over during the renewal process.

Step 1: Understand the Renewal Pricebook ID Field

Field Location: The SBQQ__RenewalPricebookId__c field is on the Contract object.

Purpose: It specifies which Price Book Salesforce CPQ should use for renewal quotes and opportunities created from the contract.

Without this field populated, Salesforce CPQ defaults to another Price Book, which can lead to inaccuracieste the Renewal Pricebook ID**

Access the Contract Record:

Navigate to the relevant Contract record in Salesforce.

Edit the Contract:

Populate the Renewal Pricebook ID field with the 18-digit Salesforce ID of the desired Price Book.

This ID corresponds to the Price Book you want Salesforce CPQ to apply during renewals.

Save the Changes:

Ensure the field is correctly updated and the changes are saved .

Step 3: **

Attempt the renewal process again by clicking Renew on the Contract.

Confirm that the Renewal Opportunity and associated Quote now reference the correct Price Book.

Step 4: Consider Automation for Future Accuracy

Automate Field Population:Use Process Builder or a Flow to automatically populate the Renewal Pricebook ID field based on the contract's associated Account or Opportunity. This reduces manual errors and ensures consistency.

Data Validation:Enforce validation rules to prevent contracts from being saved without a valid Renewal Pricebook ID .

By ensuring the Renewal Pricebook ID is coesolve the issue of incorrect Price Books during renewals and prevent similar occurrences in the future.

 Requirement:

Streamline the Quote Line Editor by enabling automatic calculations after each change.

 Solution:

Enabling the Calculate Immediately setting in Managed Package Settings ensures calculations are triggered automatically whenever changes are made in the Quote Line Editor.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: The Legacy Calculator setting is outdated and not related to automatic calculations.

B: Quick Calculate is a manual process that does not meet the requirement for automatic recalculation.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

The Calculate Immediately Setting is described in the CPQ Managed Package Settings documentation ​.

 Scenario:

Multiple Approval Chains appear in Advanced Approvals, and the order of completion depends on the Final Approval Step value.

 Behavior:

Advanced Approvals prioritizes chains based on their Final Approval Step value, processing the chain with the lowest value first.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: Approval Chains are not completed independently but follow the step order.

B: The display order on the screen does not determine completion order.

C: Lowest Approval Step applies to individual steps, not the entire chain.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Approval Chains and step prioritization are detailed in Advanced Approvals Configuration ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Automatically split Orders by delivery location based on Quote Line Groups.

 Key Configurations:

Order by Quote Line Group: Ensures that each Quote Line Group generates a separate Order.

Ordered Field = TRUE: Triggers the creation of Orders for the Quote Lines.

 Steps to Configure:

Ensure the Order by Quote Line Group field is checked on the Quote.

Mark the Ordered field as TRUE.

Test the Order creation process to verify separate Orders are generated by location.

 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 ​.

 Dynamic Features:

A Dynamic Feature allows administrators to automatically update or populate Product Options for a bundle based on defined rules and conditions.

 Filter Product Rules:

Applying a Filter Product Rule ensures that only relevant or newly available products appear as options for the bundle. This reduces manual maintenance while keeping the bundle dynamic.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Dynamic Features and Filter Product Rules are part of advanced bundling techniques documented under Product Configuration ​.

Requirement Overview:

A product priced at 100 USD and 95 EUR needs to be included as part of a bundle.

Solution:

Bundled Products: Setting the Bundled field to True ensures the product is included in the bundle's total price.

Configure the Price Book Entries with the required prices for the respective currencies.

Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product in the 2019 Price Book.

Set 100 USD and 95 EUR as the Price Book Entries.

On the Product Option, mark the Bundled field as True.

Validation:

Test the bundle by adding it to a Quote and verifying the correct pricing behavior.

===============

 Scenario Overview:

List Unit Price: Product A's standard price is $150.

Contracted Price: CK has a contracted price of $100 for Product A.

Discretionary Discount: CK negotiated a 10% discretionary discount for this deal.

 Price Calculation:

List Unit Price remains the standard price of $150.

Regular Unit Price applies the contracted price of $100.

Customer Unit Price: After applying the 10% discretionary discount on the contracted price,Customer Unit Price=100−(100×0.1)=90\text{Customer Unit Price} = 100 - (100 \times 0.1) = 90Customer Unit Price=100−(100×0.1)=90.

Net Unit Price matches the Customer Unit Price for the 10 units being purchased, which is $90.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Salesforce CPQ Contracted Price logic ensures negotiated prices override the List Price, and additional discretionary discounts apply as expected ​.

 Requirement:

Apply a 10% discount to Product A on the Quote Line if the customer has previously purchased Product A (stored as an Asset).

 Solution:

Summary Variable:

Sum the Quantity field on Asset records for Product A.

Price Condition:

Verify that the Summary Variable is greater than 0 to confirm the customer has purchased Product A.

 Why Other Options are Incorrect:

B: Quote Lines do not track prior purchases; Assets do.

C, D: These do not align with the requirement to verify prior purchases via Assets.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Summary Variables and their use in Price Rules are documented under CPQ Discounting Guidelines ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Calculate the List Unit Price for Cloud Storage Support based on the Percent of Total pricing settings:

Percent of Total Base = Net.

Percent of Total (%) = 10%.

 Calculation:

Total Net Price of all applicable products = $2,250.

Cloud Storage Support List Unit Price = 10% of $2,250 = $225.

 Requirement Overview:

Understand what impacts the number of query rows returned when using Lookup Rules in Salesforce CPQ.

 Factors:

C. Total Number of Quote Lines: Each Quote Line triggers a lookup, increasing the number of query rows.

D. Total Number of Fields on the Lookup Object: More fields on the object result in larger query rows.

E. Total Number of Lookup Queries: Multiple lookup queries executed during the Quote Line processing impact the total rows returned.

 Steps to Validate:

Analyze the Lookup Rule configuration and test its behavior with varying Quote Line counts, field sizes, and query numbers.

 Advanced Approvals Context:

The Opportunity Object is configured out-of-the-box to integrate fully with Advanced Approvals.

Other objects, like the CPQ Quote or Quote Line, may require additional customization.

 Functionality:

Advanced Approvals use Approval Rules, Chains, and Conditions to automate the approval process.

Predefined templates and configurations are readily available for the Opportunity Object.

 Validation:

After installation of the Advanced Approvals package, confirm the Opportunity Object's configuration. No additional setup is required for basic functionality​​.

 Issue Context:

Some Opportunity Products are not syncing from the Quote, causing pipeline inaccuracies.

 Troubleshooting Steps:

A. Ensure the Quote’s Account lookup is populated:

A missing Account lookup can prevent synchronization as it ties the Quote to the Opportunity.

B. Ensure the Opportunity’s Primary Quote lookup is populated:

The Primary Quote must be explicitly linked to the Opportunity for synchronization to occur.

E. Check the Quote’s Primary checkbox for a value of True:

Only the Primary Quote syncs Opportunity Products. Ensure the checkbox is set to True.

 Validation:

Verify that Opportunity Products sync correctly after ensuring these fields are properly populated.

 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:

Universal Containers wants the Shipping Plus product to appear at the top of the Product Selection list.

 Key Configuration:

The Sort Order field determines the sequence of Products in Product Selection.

Products with lower numerical Sort Order values appear at the top.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product Record for Shipping Plus.

Set the Sort Order field to the lowest available value (e.g., 1).

Save and test the configuration in the Product Selection screen.

 Validation:

Ensure that Shipping Plus appears at the top of the Product Selection list.

 Requirement Overview:

Product A must always be included in the bundle.

Product B should be included by default but can be removed by the user.

 Key Configurations:

Required = FALSE: This ensures that Product B is not mandatory and can be removed by the user.

Selected = TRUE: This includes Product B by default when the bundle is added to the Quote.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product Option record for Product B.

Set Required to FALSE.

Set Selected to TRUE.

Save and test the behavior by adding the bundle to a Quote.

 Validation:

Product B should be pre-selected in the Quote Line Editor but can be deselected by the user.

This setup ensures flexibility for Product B while ensuring Product A remains mandatory​​.

 Requirement:

Render separate Line Item sections for each Product Family and bundle on the output document.

 Solution Steps:

Option B: Create a Line Item section for each Product Family and use the Filter field to display only the relevant products for each section.

Option C: Use a formula field on the Quote Line object to identify the bundle's Name and Number, then set this field in the Group field to group lines within each section.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: The Conditional Print field is not used for rendering specific Product Families in Line Item sections.

D: Sort Order on Product records does not meet the grouping and filtering requirements for the output document.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Document generation and Line Item grouping are detailed in Quote Templates Configuration ​.

 Requirement Overview:

The Require Approved Quote setting prevents certain records from being created without an approved Quote.

 Solution Details:

When this setting is enabled, Salesforce CPQ blocks the creation of Order records unless the associated Quote has been approved.

 Validation:

Test by attempting to create an Order from an unapproved Quote and confirming that the system blocks the action.

 Requirement:

Certain products should only be available as part of a bundle, not sold separately.

 Solution:

Setting the Component checkbox to TRUE on the Product ensures it is only available as a component within a bundle.

 Why Other Options are Incorrect:

A: Removing Price Book Entries restricts pricing but does not limit availability.

B: Configuration Event field is unrelated to this functionality.

D: Product Rules are not required for this basic configuration.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

The Component checkbox functionality is documented under Product Configuration in CPQ ​.

A. Leverage Salesforce automation to select the Order by Quote Line Group field on the Quote.

Requirement:

Separate products into different Line Item tables by Product Family when rendering a document.

Solution:

The Group Field functionality within a single Template Section can group Line Items by Product Family dynamically, avoiding the need for multiple Template Sections.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B & D: Creating multiple Template Sections for each Product Family introduces redundancy and is less efficient.

C: LineSortField sorts products but does not create separate tables.

Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Group Field functionality is explained in the Quote Templates and Template Sections guidelines ​.

 Data Import Order for Quote Templates:

Salesforce CPQ requires Quote Template data to be imported in a structured order to ensure that relationships between objects are correctly established.

Quote Template: Base structure for the quote document.

Template Sections: Define sections of the quote.

Line Columns: Specify how data appears in tables within the quote.

Template Content: Includes HTML and text for the quote layout.

Quote Terms: Define legal or contractual terms.

Term Conditions: Conditions related to the terms.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Best practices for Quote Template imports align with Salesforce CPQ implementation guides for maintaining dependencies .

 Requirement:

Restrict the products visible during the configuration of a dynamic bundle.

 Solution:

Use a Default Filter in a Product Rule. This ensures only the specified set of products is displayed in the configurator for the dynamic bundle.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: Optional filter is not a valid Product Action.

B: The Show action determines visibility but does not enforce restrictions on selections dynamically.

D: Enable action is used to activate a previously disabled product but does not filter selections.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Dynamic bundles and filtering actions are detailed in CPQ Product Rule Configuration Guidelines ​.

 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 .

 Requirement:

Allow users to generate output documents in Microsoft Word format.

 Solution:

The Allow Output Format Change checkbox in User Settings enables users to select alternative formats like Microsoft Word during document generation.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A: The checkbox is user-specific, not template-specific.

C: Creating a second template is unnecessary when users can dynamically change the format.

D: Template Sections do not control output formats.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Configuring user settings for document generation is detailed in CPQ Quote Templates Documentation ​.

 Issue:

Prices are hidden on the Configure Products page due to restricted field visibility.

 Solution:

Adjust the Field-Level Security settings for the Unit Price field on the Product Option object to ensure visibility.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B: The Option Configuration Field Set affects configuration but does not control visibility.

C & D: Default Pricing Table and Price Editable settings do not impact visibility on the Configure Products page.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Managing field visibility is outlined in CPQ Field-Level Security documentation ​.

 Requirement:

Hide products with the Product Family "Software" when a Configuration Attribute is set to "Perpetual."

 Solution:

Use an Error Condition to evaluate the Product Family value on the Product Option record.

Configure a Product Action to Show all products except those with the Product Family "Software."

 Mechanism:

The Error Condition evaluates the Configuration Attribute's value against the Product Option.

The Product Action ensures visibility is dynamically controlled based on the evaluated condition.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Error Conditions and Product Actions are key components of Product Rules in CPQ to implement dynamic product behavior ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Universal Containers wants to aggregate the quantities of all Product Options in Feature A to determine the Discount Tier.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product Feature record for Feature A.

Set the Discount Schedule field to the appropriate Discount Schedule.

On the Discount Schedule, check the Cross Orders box.

 Validation:

Add multiple Product Options from Feature A to a Quote and verify that their quantities are aggregated for discount calculation.
