The Sales Rep can expand the bundles to view the options, sub-bundles, and secondary line items on the Cart page using the expand icon. CPQ provides a feature to prevent the Sales Rep from expanding the bundles. This is helpful if you do not want to expose the detailed prices and discounts applied at the option level of a bundle or sub-bundle to the Sales Rep.

You must create the Disable Bundle Expansion toggle button on the Product object. You can use this button to control Sales Rep's ability to expand the individual bundle or sub-bundle on the Cart page. When you enable this field for a bundle, the Sales Rep is not allowed to expand that bundle or sub-bundle on the Cart page as the expand icon is disabled. However, the Sales Rep can expand other bundles where this field is not enabled.

You can enable the Disable Bundle Expansion button on the Creating Product page in CPQ Admin UI. For more information on how to enable Disable Bundle Expansion, refer to Creating Products. You also need to add the field in View Cart Custom Fields in Config System Properties.

Perform the following tasks to define Bundle Expansion functionality.
