Introduction
SFIX managed package offers improvements for Salesforce Industries CPQ (Configure - Price - Quote)
Cart Configuration improvements
The package is improving user experience by reducing user waiting time for main CPQ operations:
- Add to Cart
- Attribute Pre-Configuration
- Manual Price Override
Add to cart can be super fast thanks to new, improved persistent caching mechanism. It requires pricing to be ran once for each product configuration, so cache warm-up strategy might be considered if required. Also, smart cache refresh might be considered in case of frequent price changes.
Attribute Pre-Configuration allows you to specify attribute values before adding to cart, ie. when the item is added all attributes are already set with desired values. In case of comples products with multiple attributes this is really big gain, as setting attributes one by one - after add to cart can take over 1 minute.
Manual Price Override is designed to apply the override without running heavy Pricing Engine. It is not a simple feature, it allows to run selected custom pricing plan steps to leverage any custom pricing feature developed, so configuration is crucial.
