Quantity Explosion for Standard Quote Process

Oracle CPQ 26A implements quantity explosion for the standard quote process to ensure child quantities adjust proportionally when the parent quantity changes. Quantity explosion is only applied to configured products; kits remain unchanged as they are treated as a single unit.

For example, when a sales user updates the Crossover SUV Subscription quantity to 2, the child quantities are automatically updated proportionally.

Quantity explosion

Quantity Explosion ensures that all dependent (child) item quantities automatically scale when parent quantities change, reducing manual adjustments and improving quote accuracy.
