These are three documents that canhelp a revenue cloud consultant gain a better understanding of the client's business model, value proposition, pricing strategy, and approval process before engaging in a scoping session.
A sample proposal the client provides to their customers: This document can help the consultant understand how the client presents their products and services to their customers, what kind of information they include, how they structure their pricing and discounts, and what terms and conditions they apply. This can help the consultant design a solution that meets the client's needs and expectations, as well as aligns with their branding and messaging. 1 Brochures that provided detail to theproducts and services the client offers: This document can help the consultant understand the features and benefits of the client's products and services, how they differentiate themselves from their competitors, and what kind of value they deliver to their customers. This can help the consultant configure the product catalog, pricing rules, and quote templates that reflect the client's offerings and value proposition. 2 An approval matrix documentation that describe the approvals needed before a quote is sent to the customer:
This document can help the consultant understand the client's internal governance and compliance requirements, as well as the roles and responsibilitiesof the stakeholders involved in the quote-to-cash process. This can help the consultant set up the approval workflows, notifications, and permissions that ensure the accuracy and validity of the quotes and contracts. 3 References:

The three design examples that will negatively impact the scale and performance of the Revenue Cloud implementation are:
A: Multiple automation types (trigger/workflows,flows) on a single object: Having multiple automation types on a single object can lead to complex and inefficient processes. This can slow down the system and negatively impact the performance and scalability of the Revenue Cloud implementation1.
B: External API calls within the pricing sequence: Making external API calls within the pricing sequence can introduce latency and potential points of failure. This can slowdown the pricing process and negatively impact the performance and scalability of the Revenue Cloud implementation1.
C: Extensive use of quote line custom fields: Using a large number of custom fields can increase the complexity and size of the data model. This can slow down queries and negatively impact the performance and scalability of the Revenue Cloud implementation1.

Multiple automations on a single object can lead to complex logic processing and increased execution times, impacting overall system performance. External API calls within pricing sequences can introduce latency and potential points of failure, affecting the responsiveness and reliability of pricing calculations. Additionally, an excessive number of custom fields on quotelines can increase the data load and processing time during quote generation and manipulation, further degrading system performance. These design considerations are critical for maintaining optimal performance and scalability in Revenue Cloud implementations.

A Flow is a scalable way to set the legal entity on the order product and order product consumption schedulebecause it allows you to automate complex business logic without writing code. A Flow can be triggered when a record is created and run before the record is saved, which means that you can assign the legal entity to the order product and order product consumption schedule before they are inserted into the database. This way, you can ensure that the order product and order product consumption schedule have the correct legal entity for the billing, tax, and revenue recognition treatments that are applied to them. A Flow also gives you more flexibility and control over the logic and criteria for setting the legal entity, compared to a workflow or a custom setting. A Quote Calculator Plugin (QCP) is not a scalable way to set the legal entity on the order productand order product consumption schedule because it is a custom code solution that requires development and maintenance. A QCP also runs after the order product and order product consumption schedule are created, which means that you have to update the legal entity after the record is saved, which can cause data validation issues. A workflow or a custom setting are also not scalable ways to set the legal entity on the order product and order product consumption schedule because they have limitations and drawbacks, such as:
A workflow can only run after the record is created and saved, which means that you have to update the legal entity after the record is saved, which can cause data validation issues.
A workflow can only execute simple logic and actions, such as field updates, email alerts, tasks, and outbound messages. It cannot perform complex logic or actions, such as loops, conditions, variables, or invocations of other processes or services.
A custom setting is a type of custom metadata that stores datathat can be accessed by formulas, validation rules, flows, Apex, and the SOAP API. However, a custom setting is not a good way to store data that changes frequently or varies by user or profile, such as the legal entity. A custom setting also requires manual configuration and maintenance, which can be error-prone and time-consuming. References:

These are three features that are not natively supported by Salesforce Revenue Cloud, but can be added by using an AppExchange Solution.
Contract Redlining: This is the process of comparing and editing different versions of a contract document, usually with track changes and comments. This can help to negotiate and finalize the terms and conditions of a contract with customers or partners. 1 Electronic Signature: This is the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature, which can be used to sign and validate a contract document electronically. This can help to speed up the contract approval process and reduce paper usage. 2 Attachments: This is the ability to add additional files or documents to a contract document, such as supporting evidence, product specifications, or legal disclosures. This can help to provide more information and clarity to the contract parties. 3 References:
