In Zilliant CPQ, select **Administration**, then select **Setting Boolean**. 2. Select **Enable** to export one or more proposal files inside the latest generated proposal folder. 3. Switch the **Setting Value Boolean** toggle to **Yes**. 4. Select **Save**. If the Boolean flag is set to use the most recently generated proposal, the system selects and exports the corresponding PDF file to C4C. The system uses the default proposal template if: - The Boolean flag is set to use the most recently generated proposal and no document is found. - No Boolean flag is set or left unchanged. ### Exporting attachments Quote attachments are exported to C4C immediately after an attachment is added in CPQ. ![Export attachments](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/export_quote_1.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T11%3A44%3A38Z&se=2026-11-11T12%3A44%3A38Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=VXfbn3VVi%2FVqQrakGY2bm6erkjF%2FxZEIVtta95KbUnQ%3D) ![Export attachments](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/export_quote_2.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T11%3A44%3A38Z&se=2026-11-11T12%3A44%3A38Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=VXfbn3VVi%2FVqQrakGY2bm6erkjF%2FxZEIVtta95KbUnQ%3D) ### Exporting proposal PDFs in the background The proposal PDF is exported in the background if the quote in C4C is in the required status. The PDF is exported only when the quote in CPQ is open, completed, or approved. When the quote is in an accepted or rejected status, the proposal PDF is not exported to C4C. ### Exceptions when exporting quotes to C4C The following exceptions may occur when exporting quotes from CPQ. - **Associated Account Not Found in C4C** - **Notification** `Export Failed: Quote does not have an external account.` - **Reason** The account assigned to the quote does not have an external ID assigned. - **Action to take** Ensure the account of the quote is allowed to synchronize with the external system. --- - **Quote without Base Currency** - **Notification** `Export failed: The base currency code not found.` - **Reason** The quote does not have a base currency. - **Action to take** Ensure the base currency of the quote is properly assigned. --- - **Base Currency Not Supported in C4C** - **Notification** `Export failed: The base currency code not supported in C4C.` - **Reason** The currency assigned to the quote is not supported in C4C. - **Action to take** Ensure that the currency codes between the two systems are mapped correctly. --- ### Warnings when exporting quotes to C4C The following warnings may appear when exporting quotes from CPQ. - **Product Not Found in C4C** - **Notification** `Product: XXX[###] is not available in target system` - **Reason** The quote contains products having an ECC ID but which are not found in C4C. - **Solution** Maintain the same product models in CPQ and C4C. --- - **Product without ECC ID** - **Notification** `Product: [XXX] does not have ECC ID maintained.` - **Reason** The quote contains products without ECC ID assigned inside the CPQ. - **Solution** Maintain the ECC ID of the products in MX. --- - **Buyer ID Not Found in CPQ** --- - **Notification** `The buyer ID is not found.

It exports the modified unit price based on total price and quantity. When re-calculating unit price of sales item, CPQ uses the decimal places defined for each currency according to the target currency of the quote.
