In Zilliant CPQ, a configurable product can be modeled to include product-specific rules to automatically explode a product BOM, assign attribute properties, calculate attribute values, and more. Such product rules are called triggers (KBTrigger). Similar types of rules grouped within one object are called a trigger group (KBTriggerGroup). In the knowledge base Excel spreadsheet, a trigger group is defined in the RULE_X sheet (where X is the sequence number of the trigger).
Use triggers to perform the following tasks:
- Restrict a specific attribute’s range value based on configuration data.
- Execute a BOM explosion.
- Assign values based on specific conditions.
- Set attribute properties.
- Calculate an attribute value.
There are four trigger group types:
- Range (White List)
- BOM
- Conditional
- BOM and Range
