Salesforce CPQ-301 Exam - Topic 9 Question 77 Discussion

Universal Containers provide a discount for an enterprise-level customer if a single line's Net price is above a certain threshold. The Admin has set up a Price Rule with a reference to a custom formula field on the Price Condition to apply the discount automatically. The user has to click calculate twice for the discount to apply.What is the most likely cause of the issue?
A) The use of formula fields in Price Conditions is unsupported, so the Price Rule fires and returns an error the first time.
B) The Evaluation Scope of the Price rule is set incorrectly to fire on the configurator, so the Price Rule fires on the configure Products page.
C) The referenced formula field contains date/time date information that is unsupported, so the Price Rule fires sporadically.
D) The referenced formula field contains information that has yet to be calculated, so the Price Rule fires the second time it's evaluated.

I feel B is the answer. The scope might be firing incorrectly.

A seems likely too. Unsupported formula fields could cause issues.

I agree, D makes sense. It explains the double calculation.

Surprised that it requires two clicks! That’s a weird setup.

Sounds like a classic case of unsupported formula fields!

C) The referenced formula field contains date/time date information that is unsupported, so the Price Rule fires sporadically. Time to ditch the calendar and go with good old-fashioned numbers!

D) The referenced formula field contains information that has yet to be calculated, so the Price Rule fires the second time it's evaluated. Sounds like a case of "slow and steady wins the discount race."

I thought date/time fields were usually okay in formulas, but maybe there's something specific here that's causing the rule to fire inconsistently?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like if the formula field isn't calculated yet, it might explain why the discount only applies after clicking calculate twice.

I think I saw a similar question in our practice exam about evaluation scopes. If it's firing on the wrong page, that could definitely cause issues.

I remember something about formula fields not being fully supported in certain contexts. Could that be why the discount doesn't apply right away?

I think D is the most likely answer. The formula field probably needs time to calculate the necessary information before the discount can be applied correctly.

Option A seems unlikely to me. The question states that the Price Rule is set up correctly, so I don't think the use of formula fields would be the issue.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option B. If the Evaluation Scope is set incorrectly, that could cause the Price Rule to fire on the configure Products page instead of the right place.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The question mentions a custom formula field, but it's not clear what that field is calculating. I'd need more information about the formula to determine the root cause.
