3D Scanners needs to apply a discount automatically on the Quote Line for Distributors while in the Quote Line Editor. The percentage discount applied depends on attributes of the Distributor Account and that of the specific Product. Sales users can add additional discounts; however, those will need to gothrough an approval process that allows for resubmitting to only those that previously rejected the additional discount.
Which two options should a Solution Architect recommend to meet the requirements while keeping the user experience in mind?
Choose 2 answers
CPQ license2. This way, you can use Salesforce CPQ (Configure Price Quote) to automate complex quoting processes and apply discounts based on product and account attributes. You can also use CPQ approval rules to trigger approval requests for additional discounts and resubmit them to previous approvers.
Price Rules2. This way, you can use CPQ price rules to calculate discounts automatically on quote lines based on conditions and formulas. You can also use price actions to update quote line fields with discount values.
Universal Containers (UC) wants to implement a Salesforce multi-cloud solution that includes CPQ, B2B Commerce, and Sales Cloud. UC wants to use as much of Salesforce's core capabilities as possible for its cart-to-quote customer journey. The order fulfillment process is managed separately in a third-party ERP.
Which two considerations should a Solution Architect keep in mind when thinking about data flows?
Choose 2 answers
When considering data flows for the integration of CPQ, B2B Commerce, and Sales Cloud with an external ERP for order fulfillment, the Solution Architect should keep in mind:
A) Product and Pricing are set up with CPQ as the source of record. This ensures that the CPQ system manages all product and pricing data, which is essential for maintaining accurate and consistent information across platforms.
B) The source for the data feed to ERP is the CPQ Order object. Once the quote is finalized in CPQ and an order is created, that data should flow into the ERP for fulfillment, maintaining data integrity and process continuity.
These considerations are in line with Salesforce best practices for managing data across multiple systems, ensuring that each system utilizes its strengths and maintains data consistency.
Universal Containers (UC) is about to implement Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Revenue Cloud within its newly created Salesforce environment. But before UC begins, the CIO would like to understand the options for creating and migrating changes within Salesforce. UC is about to use a sandbox for the initial build and will deploy customisation up to the production environment. UC has decided to build packages of metadata to silo the functionality between the three clouds it is implementing for.
What are two key considerations a Solution Architect should keep in mind when recommending packaging?
Choose 2answers
Modular packaging (A) promotes flexibility, scalability, and ease of maintenance, allowing for targeted deployments and updates. Limiting to one automation tool per object (B) simplifies design, reduces conflicts, and enhances maintainability, ensuring a more streamlined and efficient development and deployment process across Salesforce Clouds.
A Solution Architect is presenting a design for the Phase 1rollout of a B2B multi-cloud solution that includes CPQ and B2B Commerce using the CPQ B2B Commerce Connector. During the presentation, business stakeholders push bade on some of the key design aspects. The business is keen to have the product images and SCO data pushed back to CPQ from 828 Commerce, which is not incorporated in the current design. Further, the business wants the Solution Architect to find a way to map discounts and promotions in 828 Commerce to CPQ pricing and add that to the Phase 1 deliverables.

Addressing stakeholder feedback on syncing product images and SEO data from B2B Commerce to CPQ, and aligning discounts and promotions, involves a balanced approach. Mapping product images by passing the URL from B2B Commerce to CPQ ensures that product visual representation is consistent across platforms. Considering the complexity of syncing SEO data, it is pragmatic to plan this for a subsequent phase, allowing for proper customization and integration work. For discounts and promotions, mapping them to the Additional Discounts field on the quote line in CPQ is feasible, but it's crucial to manage the execution of price rules carefully to maintain pricing integrity. This approach aligns with best practices for integrating B2B Commerce and CPQ, ensuring a cohesive and functional solution that meets business requirements while managing technical complexities and scope.
Universal Containers (UC) is undergoing a full digital transformation and has chosen Salesforce as one of the main components. UC will use Sales Cloud for online activities, CPQ for quote generation and renewals. B2B Commerce for online orders through its partnerships and vendors, an external ERP for fulfillment and invoicing, and Marketing Cloudfor customer outreach. UC wants to create fluidity between the entire application landscape, and an integration between systems is required.
The applicationisexpected to be able to generate an order based on any of the channels outlined above, and be utilized in UC's outreach to its customers.
Where should a Solution Architect recommend the system of record (SOR) be for all orders going forward?
For Universal Containers (UC), maintaining the system of record (SOR) for all orders in the ERP Order Object is the most strategic approach, especially given the ERP's role in fulfillment and invoicing. This ensures that the ERP remains the authoritative source for order data, providing a single point of truth for financial transactions and order management. Integrating Salesforce clouds with the ERP allows for seamless data flow and operational efficiency, supporting UC's digital transformation goals while leveraging the ERP's robust capabilities for order processing and financial management.
