Core requirement:

Rooms: min 1, max 5 → Room[1..5]

Bathrooms: exactly 2 → Bathroom[2] (fixed cardinality)

Creation order: LivingRoom first, then Bedroom → order (LivingRoom, Bedroom)

Key factors:

In CML, relation : [min..max] sets cardinality; a single number (e.g., [2]) sets an exact count.

The order(...) clause specifies the instantiation order for related components.

Subtyping (e.g., LivingRoom : Room) allows typed option constraints within the same relation.

Option A is incorrect because it allows 0 rooms ([0..5]) and reverses the desired order.

Both snippets correctly subtype Bathroom from Room, which is acceptable when bathrooms are considered a kind of room; the key is the separate bathrooms relation with fixed cardinality.

Comprehensive solution:

Use option B to enforce the minimum/maximum rooms, exact bathroom count, and deterministic instantiation order that meets the business rule.

Explanation (150–250 words)

In Salesforce Revenue Cloud, Product Attributes allow administrators to create dynamic, parameter-driven product definitions—removing the need for separate SKUs for every possible variation. Instead of defining millions of products (e.g., each skill as a unique product), organizations can create a single configurable product with attributes like skill type, level, region, or technology.

Attributes are defined through Product Attribute Sets and linked to one or more products, enabling sales reps to select attribute values during configuration or quoting. This approach drastically reduces catalog complexity, improves quote performance, and provides flexibility for price rules, approvals, and product logic.

By contrast, Product Categories and Product Classifications are for grouping, filtering, or reporting purposes, not for modeling variation.

Exact Extract from Salesforce CPQ Implementation Guide:

“Use Product Attributes to define product variations without creating multiple SKUs. Attributes allow a single product record to represent many configurations.”

The Products List (POST) API is the correct choice for retrieving a list of products belonging to a specific catalog during the browse phase of guided selling in Revenue Cloud. This API endpoint is specifically designed as a composite API for Product Discovery and provides comprehensive filtering capabilities.

According to the Revenue Cloud Developer Guide, the Products List (POST) resource is located at /connect/cpq/products and accepts POST requests with a JSON body. This API allows consultants to specify multiple parameters including catalogId, categoryId, priceBookId, productClassificationId, and various filtering criteria. The POST method is preferred over GET because it can handle complex request bodies with multiple filter criteria, user context information, and qualification/pricing procedures.

The API supports essential Product Discovery features such as enableQualification and enablePricing flags, which are critical during the browse phase. It can also include contextDefinition and contextMapping parameters to ensure proper data flow during guided selling. The Products List (POST) returns a paginated list of products with complete details including pricing information, qualification status, and catalog associations.

Option A (Products List GET) does not exist as a standard Product Catalog Management business API. Option B (Product Related Records List POST) is used for retrieving related records like ProductRampSegment or ProductUsageGrant, not for product lists. The Products List (POST) API is explicitly documented in the Product Discovery Business APIs section of the Revenue Cloud Developer Guide for browsing and discovering products during the sales transaction process.

Exact Extracts from Salesforce CPQ and Revenue Cloud Implementation Guides:

“The Quote Settings page includes the setting ‘Create Quotes Without a Related Opportunity.’ When set to False, users must associate a quote with an Opportunity before saving.”

“This enforces alignment between quotes and opportunities for accurate forecasting and pipeline reporting.”

Step-by-Step Reasoning:

Requirement: Prevent quote creation unless it’s tied to an opportunity.

Declarative Solution:

Navigate to Quote Settings → Disable Create Quotes Without a Related Opportunity.

This enforces association at save time system-wide.

Why C is Correct:

It’s the standard, supported configuration in CPQ for Opportunity-Quote relationship enforcement.

Why Others Are Incorrect:

A: A validation rule would work but is redundant and not best practice when a native setting exists.

B: Opportunity Settings do not provide this control; Quote Settings do.
