3. As a Sales Rep, I would like to see an indented list of all the child options/ child products selected under individual bundle products in the QLE. How should a CPQ Admin achieve this requirement?

Answer: Check the Visualize Product Hierarchy flag under CPQ Package Settings -> Line Editor Settings.

4. How should I configure a specific product to be sold as a child product only i.e. only as a part of the bundle and not as a standalone product?

Answer: Set Component checkbox on a Product record to True. It makes the product unavailable for selection as a standalone product.

5. How should I configure a specific product to be sold as a standalone/ an a-la-carte product as well as a child product?

Answer: Set Component checkbox on a Product record to False. This will make the product available for selection as a standalone product. Add Product Option record to include it under a bundle product.

6. As a Product Manager, I would like to pre-define the quantity (say 5) of a particular product and don’t want the Sales Reps to change it on the quote. How should a CPQ Admin configure it?

Answer: Set Default Quantity field value to a predefined value (5) and Quantity Editable Flag to False on the Product record.

7. As a Product Manager, I would like the system to add 3 quantities of a child product for every quantity of a bundle product. Once added on the quote, Sales Reps should not be able to change its quantity. How should a CPQ Admin configure this requirement?

Answer: Set Product Option record fields as below-

Quantity = 3

Type = Component

8. As a Product Manager, I would like the pricing of a child product A to be included in the bundle product and pricing of a child product B not to be included in the bundle product. How should a CPQ Admin configure this requirement?

Answer: Product Option for A: Set Bundled checkbox = True

Product Option for B: Set Bundled checkbox = False

9. As a Product Manager, I want Product A to be priced at $100/unit/year if sold as a standalone product but $80/unit/year if sold as a part of an upgraded bundle product. How should a CPQ Admin configure this requirement?

Answer: Product A Fields : PriceBookEntry = $100, Subscription Term = 12

Product Option for A Field: Unit Price = $80

Note: In a multi-currency org, CPQ would always set the list price to 80 irrespective of the record currency and doesn’t take currency conversion into consideration.

10. As a Product Manager, I want Child Product A to be visible on the QLE but not on the quote documents. How should a CPQ Admin configure this requirement?

Answer: Set Product Option’s Quote Line Visibility to Editor Only.
