Salesforce Updated CPQ-Specialist Exam Questions and Answers by hidayah

 Requirement Overview:

Display Configuration Attribute X on the configuration page of a bundle and in a Line Item Column on the output document.

 Solution Details:

Product Option: Add the Configuration Attribute X custom field to ensure it appears during the configuration process.

Quote Line: Add the same custom field to enable its display as a Line Item Column in the Quote output.

 Steps to Configure:

Create a custom field named Configuration Attribute X on the Product Option and Quote Line objects.

Add the field to the relevant field sets and templates for visibility in both the configurator and the output document.

 Requirement:Populate a Configuration Attribute with a dynamic value when the configurator page loads.

 Solution Mechanics:

Process Builder can be used to dynamically set values on records based on predefined logic.

By targeting the Product Option field, which maps to the Configuration Attribute, Process Builder ensures that the value is set upon record creation.

 Steps to Implement:

Create a new Process Builder.

Trigger on the creation of the Quote Line record (or related record based on Configuration Attribute setup).

Define criteria to determine the dynamic value.

Use the Update Records action to populate the Product Option field with the default value.

 Advantages of Process Builder:

Allows for dynamic and conditional logic.

Automates the default value population without user intervention.

 Testing and Validation:

Create a test bundle with the Configuration Attribute.

Load the configurator and verify that the attribute is pre-populated.

 Requirement:

Ensure that quotes are recalculated with current information prior to approval without reopening the Quote Line Editor.

 Solution:

Option A: Adding or modifying a field in the Calculating Fields Field Set automatically triggers recalculation for quotes.

Option C: Including the Calculate button on the quote layout provides users with a manual option to trigger recalculation before approval.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B and D: These require additional customization (e.g., creating a custom Lightning button or Flow) and are not standard CPQ features.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

The Calculating Fields Field Set and Calculate Button functionalities are well-documented as standard CPQ tools ​.

In Salesforce CPQ, amendments adjust subscription quantities incrementally. The original sale (Quote Line and Subscription) is 100. The first amendment reduces to 80, a decrease of 20, so the Quote Line is 80 (absolute), and the Subscription delta is -20 (reflecting the change). The second amendment increases to 120, an increase of 40 from 80, so the Quote Line is 120, and the Subscription delta is 40. Subscription quantities in amendments show the net change (-20, 40) rather than absolute values (80, 120), aligning with CPQ’s amendment mechanics. Option B correctly reflects this: Quote Lines (100, 80, 120) show user-facing totals, while Subscriptions (100, -20, 40) show deltas. Salesforce CPQ documentation explains this behavior in amendment scenarios.References: Salesforce CPQ Documentation - "Amending Contracts" and "Subscription Quantity Handling".
