If a product is being replaced with a new product you can follow the process below to help smooth the transition between products.
- Create the new product with the new details
- Add the new product to the appropriate active price book(s)
- Relate the new product in the “Maps To” field of the old product.
- As long as the new product is active as well, and future runs of the renewal refresher will replace the product on future renewals. NOTE: This will not automatically replace the product retroactively if the renewal refresher is not run across all active subscriptions. You may need to force a run across those accounts.
- You can choose to do the following to remove the old product from being used.
- Mark the Old Product as "Inactive" in the pricebook.
- Leave the Old Product as "Active" in the pricebook, with the following options
- Set the Product to "Admin Only" - this allows admins to still use it OR
- Set the Product to "Non Quotable" - this removes the quoting ability from everyone.
Note: Products that are used in a Quote can never be deleted. Products that have never been used can be deleted. Additionally, there is no mapping for Bundles or Bundle Line Items. |
