The NetSuite 2024.1 update introduces a significant enhancement to the CPQ Configurator by allowing it to clear questions or answers that become hidden. This feature ensures that inactive options or features are promptly deselected when users change their selections, thereby maintaining clarity and accuracy during the configuration process.

  • Improved Accuracy: Deselecting hidden features helps maintain the integrity of inventory configurations, preventing errors in product setups.

Implementation Guidance

  • Navigate to the question or answer records within the CPQ Configurator.
  • Check the Reset when hidden box to enable this functionality for each relevant question or answer.
  • Monitor user feedback to ensure that the clearing action aligns with practical use cases in your organization.

Who This Affects

  • Administrators: Responsible for setting up and managing CPQ configurations in NetSuite.
  • Inventory Managers: Need to ensure accurate product configurations reflect current offerings.
