Before you begin, [set up Einstein Generative AI](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_enable.htm&type=5&language=en_US) and [enable Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agent_setup_enable.htm&language=en_US&type=5).

1. Enable Manufacturing Generative AI.
    1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Manufacturing Generative AI, and then select **Manufacturing Generative AI**.
    2. Turn on Manufacturing Generative AI.
2. Assign the [required permission sets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.chrm_genai_agentforce_permissions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Review the permissions and licenses that you must enable to set up and use Agentforce for Channel Revenue Management.") to users.
3. [Manage topics for your agent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_topics_add_standard.htm&type=5&language=en_US). Topics help agents identify the types of user requests, determine the scope of requests, make decisions, and perform actions. You can add standard topics to an agent from the asset library and create custom topics.
4. [Manage actions for your agent topics.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_actions_add.htm&type=5&language=en_US) Actions help agents use Salesforce Platform capabilities, such as flows, prompt templates, Apex, and APIs. You can add actions to topics, create custom actions, and customize standard actions.
5. [Define variables](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agent_variables.htm&language=en_US) to control how your agent uses topics and actions and to provide more information about a conversation.
6. [Create an agent from a template](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agent_setup_type.htm&type=5&language=en_US). All Agentforce templates currently available for Channel Revenue Management are Agentforce Employee Agent (AEA) templates. Use these predefined agent templates in Channel Revenue Management to support your business operations.
7. [Activate your agent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_setup_activate_deactivate.htm&language=en_US)
