This podcast details the rules that govern product configuration within Oracle CPQ. It outlines different types of rules, including those for Bill of Materials, pricing, hiding attributes, recommendations, and constraints. These rules determine how products are built, priced, and presented to users based on their selections. The podcast also explains how these rules are related to attributes, which act as input and output variables for the rules. The podcast highlights the importance of understanding the order of rule execution (precedence) as well as the hierarchy of product configuration, which impacts how rules are applied. Finally, it explores specific rule types in detail, such as recommendation rules, constraint rules, and hiding attribute rules, outlining how these rules are implemented and how they affect the user experience. The primary purpose of this podcast is to provide a comprehensive guide to the rules engine within Oracle CPQ, empowering users to understand and leverage the functionality to create effective product configuration workflows.
