The CPQ B2B Commerce Cloud Connector is an unmanaged package from Salesforce Labs that allows B2B Commerce and CPQcustomers to configure or customize functionality12.It syncs products, pricing, quote requests, and orders in both clouds12.
For supporting kits in the B2B Commerce Storefront, they need to create equivalent bundle products on the CPQ side3.A kit is a product that contains other products as components3.A bundle is a product that has one or more options that can be added or removed by a user4.The connector maps kits to bundles using a custom field called Kit ID on both objects3.
On the CPQ 826 Commerce Connector, the default mapping of tieredpricing in 826 Commerce is to Discount Schedules in CPQ5.Tiered pricing lets you set different prices for different quantities of a product5. Discount schedules let you apply discounts based on quantity or amount ranges for a product.The connector maps tiered prices to discount schedules using a custom field called Tiered Price ID on both objects5.
The business model of Universal Containers (UC) puts a strong emphasis on indirect sales and service processes. UC's customers are primarily distributors, resellers, and service providers who either sell or service products independently,or collaborate with UC on joint opportunities and cases. In the past, collaboration was primarily driven through email but UC wants to bring both service and sales collaboration onto one consolidated platform.

Universal Containers (UC) is using Sales Cloud and Service Cloud. UC wants a solution that can tend scheduled emails on a dairy, weekly, or monthly basis to existing customers and prospects. UC also wants to track if customers haveopened the emails. There can be as little as 1,000 emails in a week or as many as 100,000 emails in a month, depending on the season.
Based on that criteria, which solution should the Solution Architect recommend to UC?
For Universal Containers' requirements of sending scheduled emails and tracking opens, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly Pardot) is the recommended solution. It is specifically designed for B2B marketing automation, including email campaigns, lead nurturing, and engagement tracking. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement can handle the variable volume of emails and provides detailed analytics on email interactions, ensuring UC can effectively communicate with its audience and gain insights into campaign performance, in line with Salesforce's marketing automation best practices.
Universal Containers (UC) wants to ensure its field technicians are interacting with customers in a professional manner. The sales department already uses a third-party survey tool.
Which action should a Solution Architect recommend for UC to enab4e service managers to track customer satisfaction based on the technician and the job?
Integrating the existing third-party survey tool with Salesforce, specifically linking survey responses to Service Appointment and Service Resource records, enables UC to track customer satisfaction effectively. This approach leverages the existing survey infrastructure, minimizes disruption, and provides a direct correlation between technician performance and customer feedback. It aligns with Salesforce's capabilities for integrating external data and utilizing it within the CRM to enhance service management and improve customer satisfaction insights.
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 Cloud for customer outreach. UC wants to create fluidity between the entire application landscape, and an integration between systems is required.
The application is expected 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?
This will ensure that all orders are stored in a single, unified database, and will make it easier to track and manage orders across different channels. Additionally, Salesforce Order Objects have built-in features that make it easy to integrate with ERP systems, B2B Commerce, and Marketing Cloud, allowing UC to create the desired fluidity between its application landscape.
