Dynamic user applications for CPQ?
Hi, I've been enjoying getting to know CPQ, the Product Configurator and Price Rules components have been very useful, albeit with some issues.
I have noticed that I don't have the power to decide which level of sales staff has permissions when it comes to overriding price rules (for example).
Our junior sales staff should never be able to override something like the volume discount price within the Quotes module in CRM, so I would like the price rules to trigger on Create AND Edit for these roles. However, our senior sales staff have the authority to override some of these bulk discount prices when need be; I'm unable to set Price Rules up to cater for both realities leaving my junior sales team with the capacity to override prices on editing as quote in order to accommodate for senior sales' needs.
Is there any way to introduce a feature that allows me to specify to what degree a rule activates and for which roles? I would assume it would be functionally similar to the Canvas feature that allows me to decide which profiles are viewing which Canvas layout.

Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about automatically updating the recent Event date in the Accounts module. This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM.

Being a critical function of your sales cycle, it's good to follow certain best practices. One suchUser Tips: Auto-Create Opportunity/Deal upon Quote Save (PART 1)
Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.Custom Function : Automatically send the Quote to the related contact
Scenario: Automatically send the Quote to the related contact. We create Quotes for customers regularly and when we want to send the quote to the customer, we have to send it manually. We can automate this, using Custom Functions. Based on a criteria, you can trigger a workflow rule and the custom function associated to the rule and automatically send the quote to customer through an email. Please note that the quote will be sent as an inline email content and not as a PDF attachment. Please followFunction #50: Schedule Calls to records
Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules.

You could say they are akin to engine oil, which is required by the engine to make all of it's components function perfectly. CRM
