Product Workbench for CPQ Administrators

Oracle CPQ 23D introduced the Product Workbench for Oracle CPQ sites integrated with Oracle Sales. Product Workbench is designed for product managers, with the goal of making the definition and management of their products and services more intuitive and seamless. Beginning in Oracle CPQ 24C, CPQ administrators can also access the Product Workbench from the CPQ Admin Home page.

Access Product Workbench

When Alta Navigation is enabled, administrators can directly navigate to Product Workbench using the CPQ Admin Navigation Menu. For more information about Alta Navigation, refer to Style & Templates > Navigation > Navigation Menus in the Oracle CPQ Administration Online Help. To access the Product Workbench from the Admin Navigation Menu:

  1. Click on the Admin Navigation Menu icon on the top left side of the page.
  2. Click on the Products expand icon
  3. Click on the Product Workbench sub menu item.

Access Product Workbench from Admin Menu

When a CPQ administrator navigates to the Product Workbench, the new product list displays all products. This view allows administrators to search for the product they want to manage. The product search UI includes a prominent search bar, advanced filtering options, auto-suggestions, and the ability to sort and filter results.

Administrators can type keywords in the search box to filter search results. Context within the Name, Part Number, and Description fields will be filtered, and the keywords are highlighted in bold type.

Advanced filters for the Type and Sales Product Type fields can be used independently or combined with keyword searches to further refine search results.

Search ing on Product Workbench

CPQ administrators can now use the Product Workbench to search, view, and define prices and charges for CPQ products and root BOM items.
