Can a Quote Line have multiple Discount Schedules applied?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for bulk quotes

4. Depends on the product type

The correct answer is: No

In Salesforce CPQ, a Quote Line can only have one Discount Schedule applied at a time. This is fundamental to how discounting works within the CPQ framework. When a Discount Schedule is associated with a Quote Line, it determines how discounts are applied to the list price based on the pricing structure defined in the schedule. Allowing multiple discount schedules could create complications in calculating the discounts accurately and could lead to conflicting discounting rules being applied, which would complicate the quoting process and lead to errors. Therefore, the premise that a Quote Line can only have a single Discount Schedule is key to maintaining clarity and consistency in the discounting mechanism. Other concepts like bulk quotes or product types might have unique aspects within the CPQ system, but they do not apply to the fundamental rule that each Quote Line is limited to one Discount Schedule. This helps streamline the quoting process and ensures accurate pricing for the sales team and the customer.
