Define ramp groups upfront to automate selections in Product Discovery and Configurator. Sales reps can create quotes and orders directly from the product catalog while viewing real-time updates and receiving recommendations of compatible products. By nesting products under a parent variation, sales reps can quickly view properties and add the correct product variant to the transaction.
- Build Transactions Faster with Rule-Based Discovery
Create quotes and orders without leaving the product catalog. Sales reps see real-time transaction updates, receive recommendations of compatible products, and add products directly to quotes or orders. Previously, sales reps viewed multiple pages to verify product compatibility and view the progress of their transactions. - Apply Consistent Ramp Selection During Product Discovery and Configuration
Select whether to add products to current or subsequent groups before viewing the product list. Now, when you add products to current or subsequent groups in Product Discovery, the Configurator honors the selection and applies the correct ramp group when saving the transaction. Previously, the Configurator stored products only in the current group. This smooth handoff eliminates manual rework when structuring complex ramp deals. - Expand Your Product Offerings with Product Variations
Group products that share a design but differ in specific attributes under one parent product. During product discovery, sales reps can view parent variations and configure variant properties to select a specific product variant. They can then add the configured product directly to a quote or order. Previously, sales reps searched for each product variation as an individual product. By grouping related products, sales reps spend less time searching the catalog and build quotes faster. - Show Precise and Consistent Pricing with Extended Decimal Support
Configure up to six decimal places to standardize unit-level prices and discount fields that appear on Product Discovery, Quote, and Order pages. This formatting makes sure that prices show consistently across the user interface without changing the underlying database values. Previously, these pages inconsistently showed either full database values or values truncated to two decimal places. - New Connect REST APIs in Product Catalog Management
List and search product classifications that originate from either Enterprise Product Catalog (EPC) or Product Catalog Management (PCM) catalog sources. Also, manage multiple variants of a product more effectively by finding and setting up different properties before you place your quote or order. - New and Changed Connect REST APIs in Product Discovery
Make sure that every transaction is accurate by running configuration rules that identify issues and provide rule messages in the API response. This immediate feedback helps you understand constraints during the discovery phase and avoid issues during the transaction processing. You can also use rule-based recommendations to guide buyers toward the appropriate products for their specific needs. - New and Changed Invocable Actions in Product Discovery
Make sure that every product choice in your automation is valid by running configuration rules against a specific transaction or context ID. You can identify issues during the discovery and search phases. - runtime_industries_cpq Namespace
Integrate real-time configuration checks into your Apex classes to catch product violations during discovery and selection. The runtime_industries_cpq namespace includes a new property that enables configuration rules for a specific transaction ID or transaction context ID.
