Explanation:
In Salesforce Industries CPQ, if you want to decrease the price of a product as part of a promotion, the recommended and most flexible method is to use a Pricing Element Adjustment.
๐น What is a Pricing Element Adjustment?
A Pricing Element Adjustment is a configuration that modifies the price of a product by applying a:
๐ธ Discount (percentage or flat amount)
โฌ๏ธ Markup (if increasing price)
You can associate it with:
Promotions
Context rules
Specific conditions (e.g., customer type, time window, etc.)
This makes it ideal for promotional pricing.
โ Why other options are incorrect:
B. Edit the base price
๐ธ This changes the price globally, not just for the promotion. Not recommended for promo use cases.
C. Add another price list entry
๐ธ Also creates a separate fixed price โ not conditional or dynamic for promotions.
D. Create a rule
๐ธ Rules control when pricing applies โ but not how much to adjust the price.
E. Use a pricing variable
๐ธ Pricing variables provide inputs into calculations, but they donโt directly apply price changes.
F. Use a pricing element charge
๐ธ These are base components of the price (like one-time fee, recurring fee), not used for promotional discounts.
