            Guidelines for the Effective Quantity Field

            The quote line’s effective quantity field represents the actual quantity that Salesforce uses while calculating prices for that quote line. For some objects, such as amended quote lines and quote lines from slab-discounted or block-priced products, the effective quantity has a different value than the quantity.

            Amended Quote Lines
            Amendment quote lines have an effective quantity that represents the difference between the original quote line’s quantity and the amended quantity. For example, if your original quote line had a quantity of 10, and your amended quote line had a quantity of 15, the amended line would have an effective quantity of 5.
            Block-Priced Quote Lines
            Block prices are not unit prices, so Salesforce CPQ doesn’t multiply a block-priced quote line’s quantity by its price. Instead, Salesforce CPQ uses quote line quantity only to calculate which block price tier the quote line falls in before discounts. It then assigns the quote line an effective quantity of 1. Salesforce CPQ uses the effective quantity of one for all other pricing calculations on the quote line.
            For example, consider the following block price.

            A sample block price.

            When a sales rep enters a quantity of 10, the price before discount is $2000 – not 8 * $2000 = $16000.
            Slab-Discounted Quote lines
            Salesforce CPQ uses the quantity entered for slab products only for the calculation of the discount percentage applied to each unit. Because the per-unit discount percentage can vary across units depending on the tier, the quote line does not have a consistent per-unit price. All slab-discounted quote lines also have an effective quantity of 1 for all other pricing calculations on the quote line.
            Negative Quote Lines
            Negative quote lines always have an effective quantity of 1.
            Tip
            Tip If you want to display the quote line’s quantity on an opportunity product, make a custom opportunity product field that shows the quote line’s quantity value. You can then hide the effective quantity field if you don’t need it displayed.
