Move the date of an action for a ramp deal

Learn how to adjust the date of an action within a ramp deal in CPQ X.

CPQ X allows for actions on a quote like adding a rate plan charge, and updating or removing a product. The dates on which these actions take place are aligned with the quote start date by default, but you can move the action to a later date based on your business requirements.

  1. In the product and rate plan selection area on the Quote Studio page, find the rate plan to which the action is applied, then click the date of the action.
    Move action date example
    Note: For a ramp deal, an action to a product rate plan can span across multiple ramp intervals, but you can move the action date for only the first occurrence of the product rate plan. For example, the "Usage Company - Usage Example" rate plan in the following screenshot is added on Aug 9, 2021, and is included in all ramp intervals, but you can only click the date of this action in the first interval to move the action date.
  2. In the Set Start Date for the New Segment dialog, set the contract effective date on which the action will take effect. Then the service activation date and customer acceptance date are automatically aligned with the contract effective date. You can also manually set the other two dates. See Dates required to activate a subscription for more information.
  3. Click Confirm. Then the date of the action is then updated to the updated contract effective date.
  4. Click Save or Submit at the top right of the Quote Studio page to save or submit the change.
