Can I use quotes and orders without integrating with Oracle CPQ?

No, you can't. Oracle Sales depends on the Oracle CPQ integration for quoting and ordering functionality.

The integration between Oracle Sales and Oracle CPQ supports standard B2B selling processes, which feature highly configurable products, variable or dynamic pricing models, discount negotiations requiring executive approval, and large, branded sales documents.

Oracle CPQ ensures that sales forecasts are reliable and based on real-world quotes. It ensures that sales orders are valid and contain the correct billing and shipping details to eliminate costly change orders. Also, quote data feeds back into Sales, so that businesses can analyze and improve the overall efficiency of their sales teams.

The integration steps help you configure a solution that combines the power of these applications, while reducing the cost of ownership and the time needed to deploy the application. However, the integration remains configurable and extensible, so it can support a wide range of use cases serving any industry.
