Who it's for

Machinery manufacturers

Machinery manufacturers need the commercial offer to describe the equipment the customer expects to operate. CPQ for Industrial Machinery links machine requirements to the quote and its priced lines. Quote Specialist prepares the request, Pricing Reviewer decides the submitted revision, and Auditor follows the accepted offer into its transfer evidence. The manufacturing team's order system receives the accepted quote through a connection agreed during implementation.

How Industrial Machinery CPQ is set up for you

Operating requirement

Record the customer's power supply, required date and cycle rate with the safety option. Attach supporting material to the quote so Pricing Reviewer can examine the submitted machine configuration independently. Resolve ambiguous safety requirements before the team releases the offer.

Commercial basis

Put the machine and separately priced options into numbered quote lines. Check quantities, USD unit prices and USD discounts before pricing. The net line calculation and quote total give the reviewer a commercial request that can be traced back to the prepared inputs.

Customer release

Record acceptance only for the approved and still-valid revision. Quote Specialist retains the customer's instruction with the offer and requests the downstream handoff. Follow the receipt until the connected order system supplies a genuine effect reference.

Pilot one selling organization with a familiar machine quotation. Prepare the customer and active team membership first, then rehearse a configuration decision and the commercial review. Use an option change to check how the team revises the draft before approval. Test customer acceptance against the validity date and inspect the receipt when the order connection is unavailable.

Have Auditor trace the completed rehearsal from its priced lines to the independent decision and accepted revision. Agree the order handoff with the manufacturing system's owner before starting operational transfer. Continue with [implementation](/cpq-for-industrial-machinery/implementation).
