What happens when the Base Price property is checked for a price list entry?
A. The display text for that price list entry will display as the list price or the recurring price
in the Products list in Vlocity Cart
B. The price list entry will be used as the starting price when the product is added to the
cart
C. Once the price list entry is marked as a base price, no context rules can be associated
with it
D. The price list entry will be used to determine the cost basis
B. The price list entry will be used as the starting price when the product is added to the
cart
Explanation:
In Salesforce Industries CPQ (Vlocity), when the Base Price checkbox is selected on a Price List Entry (PLE), it means:
🔹 That price will be used as the starting (initial) price when the product is added to the cart.
✅ Details:
Base Price is the foundational price before any discounts, adjustments, or overrides.
It is what the system uses to:
Calculate discounts or promotional pricing
Display default pricing in the Cart
Feed pricing logic (like adjustments or penalties)
❌ Why the other options are incorrect:
A. The display text...
🔸 The display text comes from the product's settings and context, not just the base price flag.
C. No context rules can be associated...
🔸 Context rules can still apply to products with base pricing; this setting does not prevent rule application.
D. Used to determine the cost basis
🔸 Cost basis is a different pricing concept (usually used for margin calculations), and not the same as base price.
