Exporting the quote back to C4C can be done for the following cases
- If the quote is created in DSP from an account which was imported from C4C. This quote is called external quote.
- If the quote is created in C4C and imported to DSP. This quote is called internal quote.
Based on the exportability of quote depending on the external id of account associated with the quote, the export button to C4C will be shown. There are some settings that you can use to control the behavior of the export process.
In addition to the setting, a product can be marked not to export to CRM system by the following business data attribute of Product’s attributes. Example use case will be to set those products created during the BOM explosion not to export to C4C.
- productExportToCRM
There are mainly two scenarios that DSP can export pricing information.
- Exporting the quote with Cost Estimate Information
- Exporting the quote with List Price Information
Exporting Attachments
The attachments will be exported to C4C immediately after the attachment was added in CPQ. This helps keep the system state in correct order and is more performant as well.
Exporting Proposal PDF in Background
The proposal PDF will be exported in the background if the quote in C4C can able to do so. It means the proposal PDF will be exported only when the quote in CPQ is OPEN/COMPLETED/APPROVED. Once the quote was accepted or rejected, the proposal PDF is not exported to C4C (as the user case does not exist).
