When a Ramped Asset is renewed using the InitiateRenew API, what happens to its quote...

Exact Extracts from Salesforce CPQ and Subscription Management Implementation Guides:

“When a ramped asset is renewed through the InitiateRenew action or API, Revenue Cloud replicates the ramp structure from the original quote to the renewal quote.”

“Each ramp segment and its pricing terms are preserved on the renewal quote lines.”

“This ensures consistency in pricing logic, duration, and segment breakdowns for renewals of ramped subscriptions.”

Step-by-Step Reasoning:

Scenario: Ramped subscription (e.g., quantity or price changing per period).

Renewal via API: The InitiateRenew API copies asset and ramp data into the new quote.

Result: All ramp segments are recreated — preserving ramp structure for renewal.

Why B is Correct:

Renewal quote retains the same ramp lines as the original asset.

Why Others Are Incorrect:

A: Segments are recreated as ramped (not flattened).

C: Would eliminate ramp structure, which contradicts the API’s renewal logic.
