PDF CPQ-Specialist Study Guide

 Requirement Overview:

Sales reps need to redistribute Order Products across multiple Orders.

 Key Considerations:

Ownership Requirement: Only the Order owner or users with elevated permissions (e.g., Modify All) can edit an Order.

Allow Multiple Orders Setting: This setting must be enabled in the CPQ Orders package to allow splitting or redistributing Order Products.

 Steps to Enable:

For Ownership:

Confirm the sales rep is listed as the owner of the Order.

For Package Settings:

Navigate to CPQ Package Settings > Orders.

Enable the "Allow Multiple Orders" checkbox.

 Testing:

Ensure that the Edit Order Products button is exposed on the Order Page Layout and verify redistribution functionality.

 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:

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.

 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 ​.
