I asked a similar question before but I am still struggling and was not able to do what I was required to do and am coming back to this community for help.
I am trying to increase the price of the products on a quote in salesforce CPQ/Billing based on a field and to do this automatically.
The Setup
In Salesforce CPQ, If you go to account -> Contract -> Sales Service: There is a field called Price Increase %(PROD_Price_Increase__c)
A contract can have multiple quotes
What I want to do
When a quote has reached the final step a contract is created. In the contract I have the option to click a button called Amend. Which allows me to take the products in the existing quotes and amend it.
I want to create a batch job that does the following:
The Contract has these fields: Start Date (PROD_Start_Date__c), Price increase Date (PROD_Increase_Date__c), End Date (PROD_End_Date__c).
-- If the Price Increase Date is 12 months after the start date, these are the contracts that will need to be updated
-- For example, If the start date is 15 Feb 2023, Price increase is 1 Jan 2024, end date is 15 Feb 2025. Since the increase date is not 12 months, these contract should be ignored.
Main Task
When products who have a price increase 12 months after the start date, the contract should be able to 'amend' and update the quantity of the products and clone the products.
In the contract, the action buttons on top have "Amend". once clicked, it shows all the subscriptions products, you click next then it comes into the edit quote page.
Once here it shows all the products that were part of the contract and its quote. The net price filed for the original products will be '0'. These products will need to be cloned and the quantity for these to be applied to the cloned products. Once the quantity has been copied over, the original products quantity should change to 0.
After these products have a quantity of 0, the clone products should have the price increase. The value I mentioned from earlier Price Increase % (ROD_Price_Increase__c) value should be added to the Discount filed in the quote but as a minus value since we are doing an increase of price.
Once this has been done, we can submit/order the quote. This creates a new quote. Once the new quote has been created, I want to be able to update a filed in the quote - a checkbox that says order. I want to be able to check the value on it.
This all should be done automatically like though Apex and Flows.
Sorry for this long text and request. I apologise and know some of the information not be out of box or confusing. Its one of these challenges I have been facing with trying to automate this.
Is there a way (feed) to increase/decrease the inventory quantity instead of setting quantity to an absolute value ?
So instead of
<Quantity>100</Quantity> => set to inventory qty to 100
use e.g. something like this (incr/decr)
<AddQuantity>10</AddQuantity> => add 10 to inventory qty
or
<Quantity>+10</Quantity> => add 10 to inventory qty
Is there any feed or other possibility to do this in MWS ?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
There is no such API - you will have to calculate the new quantity yourself.
You could, however, get an inventory report through MWS first to determine the current quantity in stock (call RequestReport to get a _GET_FLAT_FILE_OPEN_LISTINGS_DATA_)
Sidenote: I find it a bit awkward that Amazon seems to know more about your quantities in stock than your own software...
I m doing some sample application where i had created discount field in opportunity product related list and i want to send an approval to the manager if discount range is more than 20% like that but while creating an approval process i m not able to select opportunity product, only opportunity object is visible so that my discount field is not visible over there..
so how can i send an apporval for discount if field is present in opportunity product related list of opportunity..
please suggest me as i m new to salesforce platform
Thanks
You can create a rollup field on opportunity of type count. Have a criteria like: discount > 20%.
Now in your approval process, check for this rollup field, if it is greater than 0 meaning that opportunity has a line item where discount is greater than 20%; that opportunity will be qualified for approval.
I have Tried to Recalculate Order Total Using the rules which is not happening
Here is what i did
Rules Event - Calculating the sell price of a product
Rules Action - Set Data value
on this action i setted the updated price to the commerce order
(Ex)
the original price - 16
the updated price - 15.20
Rules Action - show message on site (Which shows the updated commerce order for testing)
Here is what i get
The Order of the price displaying on site from show message on site action is
15.20
16.00
which means the updated 15.20 is overwritten by the old price 16.00
I don't no from where the overriding happens
Order Total can changed through line items
Commerce line items modules have rules action "Multiply the unit price by some amount"
You need used this action.
set the value of Amount 0.95 (16.00 x 0.95 = 15.20)
Set the value of PRICE COMPONENT TYPE "Discount"
Here in South Africa we have Value Added Tax (VAT) which is pretty much identical to Sales Tax and is currently fixed at 14%, but could change at any time.
I need to include VAT on invoices (which are immutable) consisting of several Invoice Lines. Each line references a Product with a Boolean property, IsTaxable, and almost all products are taxable.
I don't want to store pre-tax prices in the database, because that just makes it hard to read the real price that the customer is going to pay and everywhere I display those prices, I then have to remember to add tax. And when the VAT rate does change, for this particular business, it is undesirable for all prices to change automagically.
So I reckon a reverse tax calculation is the way to go and probably not uncommon. The invoice total is the sum of all invoice line totals, which includes any line discounts and should be tax-inclusive. Therefore the invoice total itself is tax-inclusive:
TaxTotal = InvoiceTotal / (1 + TaxRate),
where InvoiceTotal is tax-inclusive and TaxRate == 0.14
Since invoices cannot be changed once issued (they are immutable), should I:
Store a single Tax amount in my Invoices table that does not change? Or...
Store a tax amount for each invoice line and calculate the invoice tax total every time I display the invoice?
Option 2 seems safer from a DBA point-of-view since if an invoice is ever manually changed, then Tax will be calculated correctly, but if the invoice has already been issued, this still presents a problem of inconsistency. If I stick with option 1, then I cannot display tax for a single line item, but it makes managing the tax total and doing aggregate calculations easier, though it also presents inconsistency if ever changed.
I can't do both since that would be duplicating data.
Which is the right way to go? Or is a reverse tax calculation a really bad idea?
Store the pre tax value in the data base, you can also store the with tax value and use that for most use cases.
Th big problem I forsee is the rounding rules for VAT on invoices.These (at least in the UK) are really strict and there is no way for your reverse calculation to get this right.
Also you need to store the tax item by item as the VAT dragons will expect you to refund exactly the tax paid if an item is returned. You really need to get hold of the local sales tax rules before you start.
My experience is that you can get dragged over the coals if your calculations are out by as little as a penny, and, if you are audited you need to be able to show how you arrived at the VAT figure so not storing anything used in your calculations will catch you out.
I totally agree with James Anderson! In Germany the rules according VAT calculations are as strict as in the UK.
We have to accumulate the net value by VAT percentage (we have three types: 0, 7 and 19 percent) rounded by two digits. On this rounded value we have to calculcate VAT.
VAT has to be rounded by two digits and has to be showed at the invoice.
But nonetheless you can store prices including tax. It depends whether the net prices or the end prices stay unchanged when tax rises. In Germany usually B2B net prices stay unchanged but B2C end prices stay unchanged - it depends.
You can calculate it this way:
with cPriceIncludingVAT as (
select InvoiceNo, VATPercentage,
PriceIncludingVAT = cast(sum(amount * price) as decimal(12,2))
from InvoiceLines inner join VAT on VAT.VATID=InvoiceLines.VATID
group by InvoiceNo, VATPercentage
),
cVATcalculated as (
select InvoiceNo, VATPercentage, PriceIncludingVAT,
VAT = cast(PriceIncludingVAT * VATPercentage /
(1+VATPercentage) as decimal(12,2))
from cVATcalculated
)
select InvoiceNo, VATPercentage, PriceIncludingVAT, VAT,
NetPrice = PriceIncludingVAT - VAT
from cVATcalculated;
If you save this as a view you should be able to reprint a dynamically calculated VAT value exactly. When there is an accounting system you can (and should) export exactly the same data you printed.
Usually you should save values like these as field values within the database - but I understand if you'd like to have a more dynamic approach ...
The other answers are good, but as idevlop mentions, it's almost a certainty that at some time in the future, you'll start having different rates for different categories of products. Adding that capability up front will save you a ton of heartache later on. Been there, done that.
