Configure Price Quote (CPQ)
Why it matters
CPQ is the operational consumer of the Modular BOM in the order-to-delivery process. PLM maintains the product structure and option rules; CPQ applies them to create valid configured orders. The integration between PLM and CPQ is critical: option rules maintained in PLM must synchronize to CPQ to prevent invalid configurations from reaching manufacturing.
