In Communications Cloud, integrations performed during Order Management—especially callouts for provisioning, billing, and customer synchronization—should use the Order object as the primary integration payload source. Salesforce’s public Order Management design principles specify that customer data required for external provisioning should be modeled directly on the Order when the data is stable, required frequently, and does not belong to technical products.

This approach offers:

Simple configuration (fields on Order object rather than product attributes)

High maintainability, because administrators can adjust mappings without changing product models or decomposition rules

Performance efficiency, as Order-based callouts do not require deep decomposition navigation or attribute inheritance logic

Clear separation of commercial vs. technical data, one of the core EPC principles

Options C and D introduce unnecessary complexity. Customer data does not belong on Technical Products (C) nor should it be modeled as multi-picklist cart attributes (D), as these degrade performance and complicate decomposition. A custom adapter (A) adds code and contradicts Salesforce’s declarative-first approach.

Action Plan Templates in Consumer Goods Cloud can be cloned, enabling users to replicate and modify templates for various purposes and scenarios.

Einstein for CG- Visit Recommendations is a feature that uses artificial intelligence to suggest optimal store visits for field reps based on predefined rules and criteria. By adopting this feature with the consumer goods cloud, professionals can focus on their work while having information served to them that will support them in being competitive. For example, they can prioritize the most profitable or strategic stores, avoid unnecessary or redundant visits, and optimize their routes and schedules.

In Salesforce Industries Enterprise Product Catalog (EPC), hierarchical product modeling with child specifications and cardinalities is natively supported, which makes option E correct. Defining a voice offer with a “phone add-on” child product and a cardinality of up to 700 leverages standard EPC capabilities such as product specifications, child relationships, and cardinality rules.

However, Salesforce guidance for EPC and Industries CPQ warns that very large cardinalities on child products can introduce performance and processing challenges, especially in high-volume telecom scenarios. During MACD (Modify, Add, Change, Disconnect) operations, every instance of the child product (each phone device) has to be evaluated, updated, and sometimes decomposed into order items or service orders. With hundreds of instances, this can lead to processing inefficiencies and long-running transactions, which supports statement A.

Additionally, although the model technically uses out-of-the-box features, extreme volumes (such as hundreds of children per parent) can stress the decomposition engine. Under heavy load or complex rule combinations, decomposition may time out or fail when the maximum number of instances are ordered, making C valid as well.

Option B is incorrect because EPC does support this pattern; flat-only modeling is not a requirement. Option D is incorrect because using OOTB features does not guarantee optimal MACD and decomposition behavior at very high instance volumes.

To ensure the field rep knows that the product is located in the frozen food aisle when performing an inventory check, the consultant should create an In-Store Location called Frozen Food Aisle’. An In-Store Location is an object that represents a specific area within a retail store, such as an aisle, a shelf, or a cooler. By creating an In-Store Location for the frozen food aisle, the consultant can associate it with the products that are stocked in that area and display it on the inventory check task. This way, the field rep can easily locate and verify the products in the frozen food aisle. Verified References: [Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud Implementation Guide], page 20.

White Space Analysis is a Tableau CRM dashboard that shows opportunities to sell new products in a retail store location. It analyzes the sales performance and product distribution across different stores and segments, and identifies gaps or white spaces where new products can be introduced or existing products can be expanded.
