Override Constrained Value Display

Oracle CPQ 24A provides the ability to constrain the same Configurable Attribute differently depending on different conditions. Administrators can override the "Constrained Value Display" option defined in single select and multi-select menu-type configurable attributes within the action area of a constraint rule. For example, a customer has two constraint rules that have different Override Constrained Values Display options. The first constraint rule has the Override Constrained Values Display set to Disabled for "Sports" and "Luxury" vehicle values when the "Outright SUV buy" option is selected.

When a sales user chooses the "Outright SUV buy" option, the Sports and Luxury options are grayed out (i.e. disabled).

The second constraint rule has the Override Constrained Values Display set to Normal and user message displayed for the "Luxury" vehicle value when the "SUV Lease" option is selected and the "Expense Limit" is less than $1000.

When a sales user chooses the "SUV Lease" option, sets the "Expense Limit to $500, and selects the Luxury option, the option appears normal, but the vehicle options are outlined in red to indicate an error and the defined error message is displayed.

The Constrained Value Display Override is applied from the last constraint rule executed on the attribute. The order is defined by the order of the rules on the Constraint: Rules List page.

Overriding the constrained value display for single select and multi-select menus allows customers to better manage the configuration experience.
