What typically follows the initialization of the pricing context in a CPQ sequence?

In a CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) sequence, the initialization of the pricing context is a foundational step that sets the stage for the entire pricing calculation process. Following this initialization, the placement of attribute-based pricing typically occurs. This step involves assigning specific prices based on selected attributes of the configured product, such as size, color, or any configurable options that affect the final price.

By establishing attribute-based pricing after the pricing context is initialized, the system can dynamically adapt the pricing based on the specific choices made during the configuration process. This ensures that the pricing is both accurate and relevant to the customer's selections.

This sequence is crucial as it allows further pricing adjustments, such as applying discounts or calculating total prices, to be based on the already defined context of the product attributes. Achieving the correct attribute-based pricing ensures that subsequent calculations and adjustments are valid and reflective of the desired outcome.
