Upgrade Assets Through an Amendment
- Make sure you’ve enabled the Subscriptions and Renewals package setting Include Net-new Products in Maintenance. This setting ensures that Salesforce CPQ considers any products added during a renewal or amendment when calculating the new price of a percent of total product from the original quote.
- Contract the opportunity containing your asset, then navigate to the new contract. This contract contains your percent of total subscription as a subscription item and your Bronze Widget as a subscribed asset.
- On the contract, click Amend. On the Amend Contract page, you see your percent of total product.
- Click Amend on the Amend Contract page. You see the quote line editor.
- Reduce the quantity of the Bronze Widgets from 5 to 2, and then save your changes.A reduction triggers an error message because of a Salesforce CPQ validation rule on amendments that prevents users from amending products with a negative quantity change. You can override this rule by upgrading assets so the overall asset total in the quote line has at least one new upgraded asset line item. You’ll create this asset in the following steps.
- Click the down arrow next to Add Products, and then click UpgradeAssets. You see all the assets in your account, which include your Bronze Widgets. Select the checkbox next to the Bronze Widget, and then click Select.
- On the page with your available upgrades, select Bronze-to-SilverUpgrade, and then click Select.
- In the quote line editor, change the quantity of the new line item containing the Bronze-to-Silver Upgrade to 3.The total quantity of the remaining Bronze Widgets and the Bronze-to-Silver Upgrade don’t have to add up to the original value of five. By default, Salesforce CPQ allows any number of upgrade items above zero. You can also configure rules for a nonzero minimum or maximum upgrade quantity.
- Click Calculate. The percent of total product increases its price accordingly to cover the price of the upgrade product. If you configured your upgrade product to include an upgrade credit product, that product also appears in your quote.
- Save the quote and contract your amendment.
