Who it's for

Machine retrofit teams

Machine retrofit teams turn an existing machine's automation requirements into an equipment offer. CPQ for Industrial Automation gives Quote Specialist a place to connect protocol, controller and IO requirements with the customer quote and its priced lines. Pricing Reviewer decides the submitted scope and commercial revision independently.

How Industrial Automation CPQ is set up for you

Technical request

Record the proposed controller model and protocol with the required IO points. Set the date when the compatibility decision is needed and keep the technical evidence linked to the customer quote.

Offer validity

Prepare the commercial lines and validity date for the proposed retrofit equipment. Review the current priced revision before recording the customer's acceptance.

Changed commitment

Use the correction action when accepted scope needs to change. Pricing Reviewer authorizes compensation, and the team retains the original decision and operation evidence for follow-up.

Machine retrofit teams turn an existing machine's automation requirements into an equipment offer. CPQ for Industrial Automation gives Quote Specialist a place to connect protocol, controller and IO requirements with the customer quote and its priced lines. Pricing Reviewer decides the submitted scope and commercial revision independently.

Choose a controller replacement request with a defined equipment scope and an identified customer contact. App Administrator checks customer and membership records. Quote Specialist prepares compatibility details and commercial lines, then Pricing Reviewer decides the submitted technical request before the option price is committed.

Include an accepted quote whose requested equipment changes during rehearsal. Keep the original acceptance evidence, request correction and have Pricing Reviewer authorize the compensating action. Follow the result through the order connection and inspect any unresolved receipt. Reconciliation should compare recorded outcomes with evidence without sending another external operation.

Agree how the retrofit team's delivery system receives the accepted equipment scope and returns its order reference. Keep installation planning in that connected operating process. Decision History and Receipt Exceptions give Auditor the evidence needed to explain the commercial change and remaining investigation. Start the pilot through [get started](/cpq-for-industrial-automation/get-started).

Follow [approval and acceptance](/cpq-for-industrial-automation/processes/approval-acceptance) and [handoff and recovery](/cpq-for-industrial-automation/processes/handoff-recovery) to rehearse the customer commitment.
