The correct sequence of evaluation events for a price rule, quote calculator plugin (QCP), and CPQ package pricing engine is as follows:
* Internal Initialization: This is the first step where the system prepares for the calculation process.
* On Initialization: At this stage, any price rules that are set to trigger 'On Initialization' are run.
* Calculate Formulas: The system evaluates formula fields.
* Before Calculate: Any price rules that are set to trigger 'Before Calculate' are run.
* Calculate Quantities: The system calculates quantities, for example, bundle components.
* On Calculate: Any price rules that are set to trigger 'On Calculate' are run.
* Price Waterfall Calculation: The system calculates out-of-the-box pricing tools such as block pricing, discount schedules, etc.
* After Calculate: Any price rules that are set to trigger 'After Calculate' are run1.
This sequence ensures that all calculations and price rules are applied in the correct order, providing accurate pricing information1. References:

When scoping a Revenue Cloud project, it's essential to involve key customer teams that will be impacted by or contribute to the implementation. These teams typically include Information Technology, which will handlethe technical aspects of the implementation; Sales Operations, which is responsible for the processes and strategies surrounding the sales efforts; and Accounting and Finance, which will manage billing, invoicing, and financial reporting aspects of the solution. Involving these teams ensures that all necessary requirements are captured and that the solution aligns with the organization's technical capabilities and business processes.
