Question 1

A CPQ Administrator is configuring a tiered discount schedule for a new software product. The requirement is to apply discounts based on quantity, but the discount for each tier should only apply to the units within that specific tier, not to all units purchased. For example, if Tier 1 (1-10 units) is 0% and Tier 2 (11-20 units) is 10%, an order for 15 units should have the first 10 units undiscounted and the next 5 units at a 10% discount. Which Discount Schedule setting is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'Type' field to 'Slab'.

Answer

Set the 'Type' field to 'Range'.

Answer

Set the 'Aggregation Scope' field to 'Group'.

Answer

Set the 'Discount Unit' to 'Amount'.

Question 2

If the '4U Rackmount Chassis' option is selected, a specific 'Advanced Power Supply' option must be automatically added to the quote from the 'Power' feature.

Question 7

## Case Study: Global Media Corp Subscription Overhaul

**Company Background:**
Global Media Corp (GMC) is a digital content provider offering various subscription-based services, including streaming video, news archives, and premium podcasts. They are implementing Salesforce CPQ to manage their complex sales process. GMC's primary offering is a 'Digital Media Suite' bundle, which contains several product options for different content types.

**Current Situation:**
GMC is launching a new pricing strategy to encourage long-term commitments. They want to offer a 'ramping' price for their 'All-Access Video Pass' subscription product. The price should increase each year over a three-year term. For a 36-month subscription, the pricing should be $10/month for Year 1, $12/month for Year 2, and $15/month for Year 3. The total contract value should reflect this ramp.

**Technical Requirements:**
1. Sales reps must be able to quote a single line item for the 'All-Access Video Pass' that spans the entire 36-month term.
2. The pricing structure must be automated within CPQ, not manually calculated by reps.
3. The quote document must clearly show the price for each year (segment).
4. The solution must not prevent standard volume discounts from being applied across all years.

**Problem:**
The CPQ Administrator needs to configure the 'All-Access Video Pass' product to meet these ramping price requirements. Which CPQ pricing feature is the most appropriate and direct way to build this solution?

Accepted Answer

Use Price Dimensions (Multi-Dimensional Quoting - MDQ) on the Product record, creating a yearly segment for the price.

Answer

Create three separate Product records for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 pricing, and use a Product Rule to add them to the quote based on the Subscription Term.

Answer

Configure a Block Price record on the Product with price blocks defined for each of the three years.

Answer

Implement a Price Rule with three Price Actions that fire based on the Subscription Term, injecting the correct price into three separate custom fields on the Quote Line.

Question 8

A Price Rule using a Summary Variable.

Add the field to the 'Line Editor' field set on the Quote Line object.

Answer

Add the field to the 'Standard Line Item Drawer' field set on the Quote object.

Answer

Question 10

A company wants to group line items on their generated quote documents by the Product Family of the products. For example, all 'Hardware' products should be in one section, and all 'Software' products in another, each with its own subtotal. Which two settings on the Quote Template are required to achieve this? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

In the Template Section for Line Items, set the 'Group Field' to 'ProductFamily'.

Accepted Answer

On the Quote Line object, create a formula field that references the Product Family.
