UC Foods, a global manufacturing organisation, builds and sells a varietyof food processing equipment on its B2B Commerce site. Customers often tailor their equipment by selecting from several product variants. Depending on the options selected, an order will sometimes require manual intervention by a sales person to determinethe price for the customized piece of equipment.
Once the machines have been purchased, each machine comes with a 1-year warranty, which entitles the customer to quarterly visits to inspect and perform maintenance on the machines to keep them in proper working order.
How can a Solution Architect use a multi-cloud solution to address the needs of the organization to efficiently support the selling of equipment and planning of quarterly visits for the machines?
CPQ B2B Commerce Connector is a tool that synchronizes data from CPQ product and pricing objects to B2B Commerce objects1.
CPQ uses discount schedules and B2B Commerce uses tiered pricing to handle volume-based pricing23.
The connector does not support mapping tiered pricing to discount schedules out of the box23.
The connector uses pricing from B2B Commerce to define the pricing on the generated quote lines by setting their Special Price fields4.
Incorporating new requirements, such as tiered pricing and mapping to discount schedules in CPQ, into an ongoing Salesforce CPQ and B2B Commerce project requires careful consideration of project scope, timelines, and resource availability. Adding the new requirement as a user story to the product backlog allows for a structured approach to evaluating its impact on the project. Scheduling a subsequent meeting for prioritization and grooming ensures that stakeholders can discuss the new requirement in detail, assess its feasibility, and decide on its inclusion in the project timeline. This approach aligns with agile project management best practices, allowing for flexibility in responding to new requirements while maintaining project focus and efficiency.
