As a part of adding line items to the cart, the following will also be captured:

  • The minimum and maximum options for an option group.
  • The minimum and maximum total quantity for an option group
  • All the product configurations that are defined

Also, when you add a price matrix of “Cumulative” type is created, CPQ creates price breakup records on the line item object. 

Updating Line Items to Cart

While updating line items in the cart, now you can pass the line sequence field to change the sequence of the cart line items. 

Checking out Cart to Create Order

While checking out a cart to create an order, now you can check out the cart even if it is not finalized. 

Applying Search Filter to Catalog

While using search filters in the catalog to retrieve one or more products, you can now use a custom multi-picklist field to deepen your search.

Applying Typeahead Search to Catalog

While searching the catalog, you can now use the Typeahead search method to predicts search results and gives users suggestions when they enter one or more letters related to their search. 

Support for Custom Fields Used as Charge Type Criteria

You can create a charge type criteria using a custom field that is created on the Line Item Table or Product Attribute Table. When the condition of charge type criteria is fulfilled, it will be displayed on cart.
