Update Prices in Bulk Invocable Action

Apply price overrides across multiple quote line items in a single asynchronous request, without editing each line item individually.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Available in Flow Builder and Agentforce for flows running API version 67.0 and later, the action starts a bulk price update job and immediately returns an asynchronous job ID for tracking status. The Bulk Price Update service performs all business validation, including parent-child relationship checks, pricing field validation, and price range checks, after the job starts.

Input Values

Parameter Required Description Data Type
quoteId Yes The ID of the quote whose line-item prices are being updated. String
updates Yes A JSON array of update objects. Each object requires rootQuoteLineItemId, quoteLineItemId, and a pricingData map of { <fieldApiName>: <absolutePrice> }. String (JSON array)
checkAsyncJobStatus No Optional. A Boolean value that indicates whether to check for running asynchronous jobs on the quote before starting the update. The default value is true. Boolean

Output Values

Parameter Description Data Type
status The status of the request. Valid values are ACCEPTED when queued and FAILED on envelope-level rejection. String
success A Boolean value that indicates whether the request was accepted and the asynchronous job was queued. Boolean
quoteId The ID of the quote. String
asyncJobId The batch job ID for status polling. String
message A human-readable status message. String
error An error message if the request was rejected. String

Usage

Use this action when you need to update pricing overrides across many quote line items without updating each line item individually.

After the request is accepted, the action immediately returns an asynchronous job ID. Use the Get Async Job Status action to monitor the processing status.

The action delegates all business processing to the Bulk Price Update service. The invocable action performs only payload validation before submitting the asynchronous request.

Extensibility

The Bulk Price Update service supports Apex hooks to trigger custom workflows during execution.

Pre-Hook

Execution & Availability: Supported via the preHook method defined in B2BCmexAPIHookInterface.

Behavior: If pre-flight validation fails during request kickoff (for example, malformed payload, invalid quote, or missing pricing field), the request is rejected synchronously before a job is enqueued. As a result, no batch fires and no post-hook runs.

Post-Hooks

Opt-in per org (configured via bulkPriceUpdateHook Setup > Custom Settings > Custom Class Implementation), post-hooks execute at two distinct fire points:

  • Immediate Post-Hook (executePostHook): Runs synchronously on request acceptance with phase=ACCEPTED right after the batch job is enqueued. It fires strictly on the accepted path.
  • Batch-Finish Post-Hook (executePostHookForBatch): Runs once from the batch finish handler upon completion with phase=COMPLETED. It receives an output payload containing successCount, failureCount, and a per-entry results[] array detailing the {rootQuoteLineItemId, quoteLineItemId, status} and failure message for each update entry.
Note
Note Post-hook exceptions are logged and swallowed by the manager so a failing hook never suppresses the accepted response, notifications, or finish handler processing.

Considerations

  • This action supports asynchronous processing only.
  • Only one asynchronous job can run for a quote at a time unless checkAsyncJobStatus is set to false.
  • The updates input must be a valid JSON array.
  • Each update object must contain rootQuoteLineItemId, quoteLineItemId, and pricingData.
  • The pricingData object maps pricing field API names to absolute override values.
  • Multiple pricing fields can be updated for a single quote line item.

Example Input

{
  "quoteId": "0Q0XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "updates": [
    {
      "rootQuoteLineItemId": "0QL9IXXXXXXXXXXWAQ",
      "quoteLineItemId": "0QL9IXXXXXXXXXXWAQ",
      "pricingData": {
        "vlocity_cmt__RecurringCharge__c": 4500,
        "vlocity_cmt__OneTimeCharge__c": 1500
      }
    },
    {
      "rootQuoteLineItemId": "0QL9IXXXXXXXXX9WAK",
      "quoteLineItemId": "0QL9IXXXXXXXXXXWAQ",
      "pricingData": {
        "vlocity_cmt__RecurringCharge__c": 5500,
        "vlocity_cmt__OneTimeCharge__c": 2500
      }
    }
  ],
  "checkAsyncJobStatus": true
}

Example Output

{
  "success": true,
  "quoteId": "0Q0XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "status": "ACCEPTED",
  "asyncJobId": "707XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "message": "Bulk price update accepted; poll asyncJobId for status."
}

Error Handling

The action immediately returns a FAILED status when the request cannot be accepted.

Service-level validation errors are returned in the Error output using the following format:

[errorCode] errorMessage

For example,

[NOTHING_TO_UPDATE] Specify at least one entry for the updates parameter.

The action rejects the request before submitting the asynchronous job when:

  • quoteId is blank.
  • updates is blank.
  • updates is not valid JSON.
  • updates is not a JSON array.
