This text-only course guides you through the core principles of attribute-based pricing (ABP) within modern CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) frameworks. You will transition from manual, error-prone pricing spreadsheets to designing elegant, rule-based pricing architectures that scale effortlessly. What you'll learn: Understand the core components, terminology, and business benefits of attribute-based pricing; Design structured pricing matrices and tables that map variables to specific price adjustments; Configure dynamic pricing rules that automatically calculate costs based on user selections; Apply modern data modeling techniques to keep your CPQ catalog clean, maintainable, and scalable; Analyze real-world scenarios to troubleshoot and optimize complex pricing logic. The course begins with essential pricing terminology and foundational definitions before guiding you through matrix design, rule configuration, and integration best practices. You will learn entirely through clear written explanations, structured examples, and practical conceptual exercises.
