Q

What is a Product Object Type?

A

-Reusable entity that defines properties (fields and attributes) and layout for all product instances

-Used to group products with similar characteristics and ensure consistent behavior and application of rules

-Supports hierarchy inheritance

62
Q

What is the recommended approach when setting up a product catalog using Product Object Types?
A. Create a single, generic object type for all products
B. Create a separate object type for each product instance
C. Create a “Base Product” during initial setup, which includes all fields in the product catalog, and then create object types for specific product classes to inherit the Base Product’s layout, fields, and attributes
D. Create a hierarchy of object types for each product class, and then create a “Base Product” that inherits from all of them
E. Assign all attributes and fields directly to the product instances, without using object types

A

Answer: C. Create a “Base Product” during initial setup, which includes all fields in the product catalog, and then create object types for specific product classes to inherit the Base Product’s layout, fields, and attributes
Explanation: It is recommended to create a “Base Product” during initial setup, which includes all fields in the product catalog. Object types for specific product classes can then be created to inherit the Base Product’s layout, fields, and any attributes.

63
Q

What is the purpose of an Object Type Layout in Salesforce Industries CPQ and Order Management?
A. To group products with similar characteristics
B. To control the layout and organization of an object type’s attributes and fields

A

Answer: B. To control the layout and organization of an object type’s attributes and fields

64
Q

What is the inheritance model used by Object Type Layouts within the Object Type Hierarchy?
A. Dynamic inheritance
B. Static inheritance
C. Hybrid inheritance
D. No inheritance
E. Partial inheritance

A

Answer: C. Hybrid inheritance
Explanation: Object Type Layouts use a “hybrid” inheritance model. When a new object subtype is created, the Vlocity Product Console creates a new layout for the object subtype via a deep copy. Subsequent changes to the object subtype’s layout will not be replicated down the hierarchy after initial creation.

65
Q

How are attributes inherited within the object type hierarchy?
A. Dynamic inheritance
B. Static inheritance
C. Hybrid inheritance
D. No inheritance
E. Partial inheritance

A

Answer: C. Use fields for common data elements across the catalog and attributes for unique data elements to a subset of products
