Labels for Additional Item Prices in NetSuite CPQ Configurator

TL;DR Opening

With NetSuite CPQ Configurator, users can now add custom labels for additional item prices in the Summary. By enabling the Show additional item prices in Summary option, administrators can enhance the clarity of pricing details for customers.

How Do You Add Labels to Additional Item Prices?

Starting in NetSuite CPQ Configurator version 1.9.1, labels can be assigned to additional item prices that appear in the Summary. Here’s how to do it:

1. Enable Additional Item Pricing in Summary: Navigate to the product record and enable the Show additional item prices in Summary option.
2. Add Custom Labels: On the additional item record, enter your desired label in the Label field. If this field is left blank, the system defaults to displaying the item’s Name.

Using Resolve Expressions for Dynamic Labeling

In addition to static labels, you can utilize resolve expressions. These expressions allow for dynamic content to be filled based on user interactions in the product interface. For instance, if a user selects options that correlate with certain answers, the label can reflect those choices.

Here’s an example structure of a resolve expression:

{A/1}

This format allows you to retrieve answer values effectively. By employing resolve expressions, a single item record can serve various configurations based on user selections.

Best Practices when Using Labels

• Clarity: Choose labels that are clear and concise, aiding in user understanding.
• Consistency: Use similar naming conventions across products to maintain uniformity in the Summary.
• Testing: After setting labels and resolve expressions, test configurations to ensure they display correctly in the user interface.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Responsible for enabling features and inputting label data.
• Sales Teams: Those interfacing with customers can benefit the most from clearer additional item pricing.
• Product Managers: Involved in configuring products to meet user expectations better.

Key Takeaways

• Custom labels can now be added for additional item prices in the Summary.
