New Line Item Editing Options in...

Starting in NetSuite 2023.2, the CPQ Configurator (version 1.2.0) introduces enhanced flexibility for managing line items on transactions. With three new options for editing and removing line items, users can now customize configurations according to their workflow needs.

Overview of New Editing Options

The CPQ Configurator now allows users to choose from the following three options for line item management:

1. Remove All and Prevent Editing

This option restricts users from removing specific configuration line items or editing any line item values. Users can only choose to remove the entire configuration, which includes both main and additional items.

2. Remove All and Allow Editing

Users can edit the values of configuration line items with this setting but cannot delete any specific line items. This approach offers some level of flexibility while maintaining control over the overall configuration.

3. Remove Single Item and Allow Editing (Default)

By default, this setting enables users to remove specific line items from the configuration as well as edit their values. This allows for more granular adjustments to the transaction.

To select one of these options, navigate to CPQ > Configurator > Settings and choose the preferred setting under the new Edit & Remove Options.
