CPQ–BRIM Integration
The SAP CPQ–SAP BRIM integration covers the quote to cash process in its entirety. The lead-to-cash process starts with the opportunity management in SAP Cloud integrated with SAP quote to cash management process in CPQ that followed by the order to cash process which is driven by the SAP BRIM.
Quote to Order Process
The customer can submit a quote and discuss it until a final agreement is achieved. The quote is transformed into order after the buyer accepts it. Feedback from customers on the order creation process is gathered and may be utilized to enhance quotation and order creation.
Order to Cash Process
The request is separated into physical, Subscription, cloud and service products and forwarded for further processing to backend systems, depending on the different categories of materials in the order. The S/4HANA back-end system complies with sales and service orders. Subscription orders are forwarded where they are provided to the SAP Subscription Billing System. Only after all three orders have been fulfilled is ordered complete in SAP Commerce.
SAP ERP backend resources are leveraged, and regardless of whether the customer is running CRM, companies ensure that SAP CPQ processes are smooth and connected with the customer’s CRM or Commerce front-end systems.
Whenever any sales process is started by a sales representative, CPQ plays an essential function and provides that the whole process is carried out within the appropriate set of requirements that your organization has determined and has created for pricing, discounts, approvals, and so on. This indicates that your sales staff is even more responsive and can completely simplify the full sales cycle as per your customer’s demand.
