In Salesforce CPQ, the Order Management plugin functionality provides flexibility in customizing the default package behavior, including the ability to set the activation date for orders. This feature allows for greater control over the order management process, enabling organizations to align the activation dates of their orders with their specific business requirements. By overriding the default behavior, businesses can ensure that the activation dates are set in a manner that is consistent with their operational workflows, contractual obligations, or customer agreements. This capability is part of Salesforce CPQ's broader set of features designed to provide customizable solutions to complex quoting and order management challenges​​.

 Salesforce Revenue Cloud’s CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solution allows for the creation of price rules that can be used to perform calculations on quote lines. In this scenario, the CPQ admin has created three separate price rules, each using a summary variable to add the net total for quote lines belonging to a particular product family. While this solution works, it may not be the most optimal from a performance standpoint.

Option D suggests using a single price rule with three price actions. This would be more efficient because it reduces the number of price rules that need to be evaluated. Each price rule evaluation can consume system resources and potentially slow down the quote calculation process. By consolidating the three price rules into a single one with multiple actions, the system only needs to evaluate one rule, which can improve performance.

It’s important to note that summary variables in Salesforce CPQ allow you to perform a math function on the collected values of a number field on the quote line, product option, subscription, or asset1. You can also create filters so that the summary variable evaluates only fields on records that match the filter values1. This functionality would still be available with a single price rule with multiple actions.
