Question

The Admin at Universal Containers set up a Price Rule to override List Price with a discounted promotional price. The Price Action has a formula which is as follows: SBQQ ListPrice c * (1 – Promotional_Discount c ) The Admin is finding that every time Calculate is clicked, the price is adjusted. For example, if List Price is $10.00 and promotional discount is 10%: 10.00 * (1 – 0.10) = 9.00 The next time calculate is clicked, the following calculation takes place: 9*(1 – 0.10) = 8.10 If List Price must be overridden, how can this problem be fixed?
A. The salesforce CPQ package has an Original Price field which should be used instead of List Price in the formula.
B. Create a field to hold the Price Book price, and populate on Quote creation with a Workflow Rule for use in the formula
C. Create a field to hold the Price Book price, and populate Before Calculate with a Price Rule for use in the formula.
D. The Salesforce CPQ package has an MSRP field which should be used instead of List Price in the formula.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The salesforce CPQ packages has an original price field which should be used instead of list price in the formula.
