  2. Enable quantity or revenue scheduling in Sales Settings and configure the schedule types on the 'FiberNode Enterprise' product record.Answer
  3. C
    Add 'FiberNode Enterprise' directly to the 'EMEA Government & Utility' custom price book without creating a standard price entry.
  4. D
    Link the 'EMEA Government & Utility' price book directly to the Sales Process associated with the opportunity record type.

Answer

The administrator must create an active Standard Price Book entry for the product before adding it to custom price books, and enable and configure Product Schedules in Sales Settings and on the Product record.
To sell a product using a custom price book, a valid active price entry must first exist in the Standard Price Book. Additionally, establishing delivery or revenue timelines on Opportunity Line Items requires turning on scheduling in Sales Settings and establishing schedule configuration on the Product record.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Verify prerequisite standard pricing
Confirm that an active Standard Price Book entry exists for 'FiberNode Enterprise'.
Salesforce architecture requires every product to have an active standard price before it can be included in any custom price book entries.
2
Add product to custom price book
Add 'FiberNode Enterprise' to the 'EMEA Government & Utility' custom price book with the designated list price.
This makes the product available to users who select this specific price book on opportunities.
3
Configure scheduling capabilities
Enable quantity/revenue scheduling in Sales Settings and define default schedule behavior on the 'FiberNode Enterprise' product detail page.
Opportunity Line Items inherit scheduling properties configured on the underlying Product record.
