CPQ Rules

These rules are logic-based conditions helping to control how products, services, and pricing behave when users build quotes, jobs or tickets. They guide users so quotes stay consistent, accurate and compliant with your org’s business processes.

They apply in the these areas:

  • Quote Building - making sure the right products or services are selected

  • Job Creation - controlling resource or item selections

  • Pricing - adjusts or restricts how prices appear

  • Approvals - ensures certain conditions trigger approvals before a quote can be finalized

CPQ Rule Categories

You can add, edit, or clone CPQ Rules.

FieldFX CPQ rules work identically to other rules with these exceptions:

  • The CriteriaQueryFields and Criteria Stack fields do not generate when cloning or updating an existing rule.

  • The FX5__CriteriaStack__c field must be added to the Rules page layout (See Page Layouts)

  • CPQ handles these fields automatically in the background.

Do not add or change the CriteriaQueryFields and Criteria Stack fields when working with CPQ rules.
