The problem

The Salesforce CPQ and deal-desk process was throwing errors that stopped real deals: a multi-year renewal that would not progress, quotes failing outright, and auto-renewal emails misfiring.

The play

  1. 1
    Unblocking the stuck renewal

    Diagnosed and cleared the multi-year renewal that would not progress through the quote process, then fixed the underlying quote failures behind it.

  2. 2
    Bringing the paper current

    Shipped legal's updated order-form and master-agreement language into the templates, added a per-deal custom-agreement override for negotiated paper, and built order-form date-display toggles so the document reflects the deal that was actually struck.

  3. 3
    Reseller and reactivation edge cases

    Configured distinct reseller renewal terms, and a cancellation-status reset that fires when a cancelled customer reactivates so their record stops reporting as churned.

  4. 4
    Catalog migration

    Executed a product SKU migration to the current product version across the catalog and the quotes that referenced it.

What it moved

Backlog cleared to production

The blocked multi-year renewal, the updated order-form and master-agreement language, the per-deal custom-agreement override, the reseller renewal terms, the date-display toggles, the reactivation status reset and the SKU migration all shipped to production inside the window.
