Salesforce Certified CPQ Specialist — Question 148

Universal Containers (UC) is a reseller of a Product made by another company. UC wants to price the Product based on the Cost that UC pays for it.
How should the admin set the Cost for this Product?

Answer options

• A. Create a Cost record in the Product’s Costs related list.
• B. Add a Cost Discount Schedule to the Product’s Discount Schedule related list.
• C. Use a Price Rule to set the Cost field on the Quote Line.
• D. Add the Cost to the Product’s Price Book Entry Cost field.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a Cost record in the Product’s Costs related list directly associates the cost with the product for pricing purposes. The other options do not effectively set the product's cost based on UC's actual expense; for instance, a Cost Discount Schedule and Price Rules are more about discounts and pricing strategies rather than direct cost assignment.
