Question #: 15
Topic #: 2
A Global System Integrator (GSI) provides consulting services by offering a variety of roles and skills based on the needs of the customers. The GSI has a global workforce of 30,000 consultants with expertise in many different technologies.
Currently, the GSI uses standard Salesforce functionality to quote using Opportunities, Quotes, and Pricebooks. As its consultants have so many different roles and skills, it maintains a large product catalog with upward of a million SKUs. A new product is created each time a new skill is added.
How should the GSI use Revenue Cloud to solve its SKU proliferation issue?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
The GSI is creating separate SKUs for values that are better modeled ascharacteristics of a reusable commercial offering. Product Attributes allow those variations-such as technology skill, seniority, certification, region, specialization, or competency-to be represented as configurable values rather than separate Product2 records.
For example, instead of creating distinct products for "Senior Salesforce Architect," "Senior AWS Architect," and "Senior Azure Architect," the organization can model a reusable consulting-role product and expose technology or skill as attributes. This sharply reduces Product2 proliferation while maintaining configurability during quoting.
Product Categories, option A, organize products for browsing and discovery but do not eliminate the need for separate SKUs if each skill continues to be modeled as a different product. Product Classification, option C, provides a reusable structural definition for products and their associated attributes. It is valuable in the overall model, but the mechanism directly eliminating the million-SKU pattern described here is the use ofProduct Attributes to represent variation.
The architectural objective is to distinguish a true commercial product from configurable characteristics of that product.
