The CPQ solution is a software tool in Salesforce that allows businesses to automate the price quotes for their products and services. This process helps to streamline the sales process, improve controls, and accelerate deal cycles.

When a customer orders a CPQ quote, you can create an order record to track their products and services, as well as invoices attached to the order. CPQ automates the sales process further to prevent errors and account for product availability and other conditions.

Order-to-cash represents the entirety of a company’s order processing system. Once a customer places an order, the O2C cycle begins. Let’s take a look at the major steps in the process.

• Order management
  When a customer places an order, your order management system should trigger a series of actions across departments to ensure new orders are organized properly, parties are notified, and orders are fulfilled in a timely manner.
• Credit management
  Any time credit is used, every first-time customer should automatically be sent through a credit approval process. Automated credit management makes accounts receivable more seamless and secure.
• Order fulfillment
  Automated inventory management updates inventory counts in real time to avoid accepting orders that cannot be completed. It also notifies teams and customers whenever an out-of-stock order does make it to fulfillment.
• Order shipping
  Shipping needs to be regularly audited and monitored to ensure it meets high performance standards in the O2C process — including updating data for the shipping team, planning shipments around pickup schedules, and making sure customers receive their orders.
• Customer invoicing
  Effective customer invoicing ensures that finance staff can effectively forecast cash flows and plan for expenses. O2C should automate invoices with correct information.
• Accounts receivable
  Automated accounting systems flag outstanding invoices before they are overdue so accounts receivable representatives can review them for delayed payment and other errors.
• Payment collections
  All payments should immediately be logged in systems to prevent payment backlogs or inaccurate cash estimates. An automated system should alert reps about late payments so accounts receivable personnel can contact customers with overdue invoices.
• Reporting and data management
  Monitoring and analyzing performance data shows companies how the overall flow of their O2C process affects the length of the sales cycle, their customer relationships, onboarding and customer service functions, and more. Managing and automating the O2C cycle helps businesses deliver value to their customers and receive timely payments.
