Universal Containers must be able to create Quotes that contain Quote Lines with different Start...

Business Requirement Context:

Universal Containers needs the ability to split Orders by the Start Dates of the Quote Lines.

Each Order generated will correspond to a unique Start Date.

Key Salesforce CPQ Features:

Order By Field: This field on the Quote allows CPQ specialists to specify the criteria for splitting orders. By selecting the SBQQ__StartDate__c field, orders will be created based on the Start Dates of Quote Lines.

Ordered Checkbox: Setting this to True ensures that the Quote Lines are converted into Orders during the ordering process.

Step-by-Step Configuration:

Navigate to the Quote in Salesforce CPQ.

Locate the Order By picklist field and set its value to SBQQ__StartDate__c. This ensures Quote Lines are grouped by their Start Dates for Order generation.

Check the Ordered checkbox on the Quote to mark it ready for Order generation.

Expected Outcome:

When the Orders are generated, CPQ will create separate Order records for each unique Start Date present in the Quote Lines.

Validation and Testing:

Create a Quote with multiple Quote Lines having different Start Dates.

Process the Quote through the Ordering process to verify separate Orders are created for each Start Date.
