Creating Price Ramps on the Cart Page

On the Cart page, you can create price ramps for the products by following the steps mentioned below.

Before you begin

The administrator must enable Enable Price Ramp setting in the price list item.

To create a price ramp on the pricing cart page

On the cart page.

1. Click the ramp icon () on a line item. A ramp pop-up is displayed.
   

2. Specify the price ramps for a product as described below. The options in the list depend upon the columns defined in Display Columns Settings. For more information, see Configuring Display Column Settings.

   Option	Description
   Add	Click the add icon to add new ramps.
   Quantity	Displays and allows you to specify the quantity of the selected product for a level in the price ramp.
   Selling Term	Displays and allows you to specify the selling term.
   Selling Frequency	Displays or allows you to define the usage period for a level in the price ramp for the selected product by specifying its term and the type of period.

   Adjustment Type	Displays or allows you to specify the adjustment type for a level in the price ramp for the selected product.
   Adjustment Amount	Displays or allows you to specify the adjustment amount for a level in the price ramp for the selected product.
   Start Date	Displays and allows you to specify the starting date of the usage period for a level in the price ramp for the selected product. Note: Start Date must be before Ending Date.
   End Date	Displays and allows you to specify the ending date of the usage period for a level in the price ramp for the selected product.
   Status	Displays the status. A red X icon is displayed to indicate an issue.
   Remove	Click the remove icon to the remove the selected ramp.

3. Click Save.

The CPQ automatically enables price ramp on the second charge type, when price ramp is enabled for the first charge type on the cart page. You will observe such behavior in case if your administrator has selected Enable Auto Ramp Creation while configuring the price list item for the product.

If the ramp is on a bundle or standalone product, each ramp line becomes a line in the cart.

In case you defined more than one ramp line for a bundle and its options, if you change the quantity of the bundle in the primary ramp line, the primary ramp line of the options is automatically updated. You need to update the non-primary ramp lines of the options manually. This is true when Enable Auto Ramp and Auto Cascading are enabled.

Limitations

Please note that if you have selected a custom frequency, you see the following limitation:

• Option Price of Option ramp line is not added to the respective bundle.
• Selling Term is not calculated as per the Start Date and End Date.
• Canceling a ramp line during change operation creates multiple lines.
• A maximum of 50 ramp lines can be created in the current release.

How is price escalator applied on ramp lines during ABO operations?

CPQ applies Price Escalator on new ramp lines created during ABO operations regardless of the Default Asset Pricing Indicator? setting (true or false). A new ramp line always gets its value from the price list item (PLI) pricing. For more information, see Use Case: Applying Price Escalator on New Ramp Lines During ABO Operations.
