Salesforce Industries-CPQ-Developer Actual Questions

In Salesforce Industries CPQ, entity paths are not required for root scopes. Root scopes inherently refer to the highest level of data context in a model, from which all other scopes derive their context. Therefore, setting an entity path for root scopes is unnecessary as they are already at the highest or base level of the data hierarchy.

If a promotion does not appear in the Promotions list of the cart in Salesforce Industries CPQ, several factors could be responsible:

• The Effective From date of the promotion is missing (A): A missing effective date means that the promotion does not have a defined start time, which can prevent it from appearing in the list.
• The Effective Until date of the promotion is in the past (B): If the effective until date is already past, the promotion is considered expired and will not be displayed.
• The promotion status is not active (C): For a promotion to be available and visible in the cart, its status must be set to active. An inactive status will hide the promotion from users.

These conditions are essential for managing the lifecycle and visibility of promotions within the CPQ system, ensuring that only current and relevant promotions are available for selection.

In Vlocity's Guided Selling, to set the price list ID for the cart, you need to edit the JSON configuration of the remote action containing the createCart remote method (C). This setup is necessary to define which price list the cart should use right from the beginning, ensuring that all pricing calculations within the cart are based on the correct price list as soon as items are added.

To decrease the price of a product in a promotion in Salesforce Industries CPQ, the following methods are used:

• Use a pricing element adjustment (A): This involves adjusting specific pricing elements that make up the total price of the product, such as discounts or surcharges.
• Use a pricing variable (E): This allows for the dynamic calculation of prices based on variables defined within the promotion, which can be configured to reduce the product price under certain conditions.

These techniques provide a high degree of flexibility and precision in pricing adjustments, enabling tailored pricing strategies that can adapt to various promotional conditions and customer interactions.
