Salesforce ARC-801 Exam - Topic 1 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's ARC-801 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 1

Mask Makers LLC has a traditional sales channel that uses an existing CPQ implementation to process orders. Customers frequently reorder previous purchases quickly and split the order into several deliveries for different locations. Additionally, these customers are given special pricing through Price Books m CPQ based on annual spending and other parameters. The customer currently makes their purchase by sending an email or calling their appointed sales representative, and then waits to receive a quote.

Mask Makers LLC wants to move away from this very manual and time-consuming process. The company wants to provide its customers with a personalized experience that is simplified and streamlined with existing special pricing visible and the option to self-serve- Mask Makers LLC would also like to deliver this within a short timeframe, as business must continue to grow.

Which design approach should a Solution Architect recommend to meet these requirements within the timeframe while adhering to best practices.

AImplement B2B Commerce and use the CPQ B2B Commerce Connector to integrate to CPQ. Set B2B Commerce as the Product and Pricing master.

BImplement B2B Commerce and use the CPQ B2B Commerce Connector to integrate to CPQ. Keep CPQ as the Product and Pricing master.

CImplement B2B Commerce and use the CPQ B2B Commerce Connector to integrate to CPQ. Allow bidirectional updates to Products and Pricing.

DImplement B2B Commerce and build a custom integration to CPQ. Keep CPQ as the Product and Pricing master.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

This way, you can preserve the historical data of your sales transactions related to the deactivated products without deleting them from Salesforce.You can also avoid syncing issues between your ERP and Salesforce by keeping the product status consistent1.

Deactivating a product in Salesforce means that it cannot be added to new opportunities or quotes, but it remains visible on existing ones1.You can also deactivate all related prices for that product at the same time by enabling a setting in Product Settings1.To mark an opportunity or quote as inactive, you can use a custom field or a workflow rule that changes its status based on certain criteria3.

Not sure a custom integration is the best route, D feels risky.

I feel like we should prioritize a solution that simplifies the process for customers, so maybe option A could be the way to go, but I’m not entirely sure.

I’m a bit confused about the B2B Commerce Connector. Should we really be implementing a custom integration like in option D? That seems risky.

I think option C sounds familiar from our practice questions, especially the part about bidirectional updates. It seems like it could meet the requirements.

I remember we discussed the importance of keeping the CPQ as the Product and Pricing master, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach here.

This is a good question, but I'm not sure which approach is the best. I'll need to think through the implications of each option and how they align with the stated requirements. The timeframe is also an important consideration, so I'll need to evaluate which solution can be delivered most quickly.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Option A seems like the best fit - by setting B2B Commerce as the product and pricing master, it will provide the streamlined, self-service experience the company is looking for, while still leveraging the existing CPQ capabilities.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm a bit confused about the different integration options and how they would impact the existing CPQ setup. I'll need to carefully review the details to understand the pros and cons of each approach before deciding.

This question seems straightforward - the key is to determine the best way to integrate B2B Commerce with the existing CPQ system. I think option B is the way to go, as it keeps CPQ as the master for products and pricing, which aligns with the requirement to leverage the existing special pricing.

I'm a little confused by this question. The wording about "anchoring the customer call to a port" is throwing me off. I'll need to review my materials on CCMS and call routing to figure out the right answer here.

Okay, I think I know how to do this. I'll just need to find the "Total Row" option and configure it to show the monthly and 6-month totals.

I don't know, guys. All these options sound like a lot of work. Maybe we could just have the customers fax in their orders like it's the 90s? That's got to be faster than any of these fancy-schmancy solutions, right?

Well, look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here with his 'best practices' and 'adhering to requirements'. I say we go with option D and just build a custom integration. What could possibly go wrong? *nervous laughter*

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Wouldn't option C give us more flexibility in the long run? Allowing updates to go both ways between B2B Commerce and CPQ could really streamline the process. Just gotta make sure we have a solid plan for data syncing, that's all.

Ooh, this is a tricky one! I think option B might be the way to go - keeping CPQ as the master for products and pricing seems like the safest bet for a quick implementation. Plus, who needs all that extra 'bidirectional' complexity, am I right?
