To add the Agreement list object:

• Navigate to: Setup > Objects and Fields > Object Manager
• Select Quote Document from the options on the left side of the page
• Select Page Layouts from the left rail
• Click on the Quote Document Layout link under Page Layout Name
• Select Related Lists from the object type box at the top of the screen

When configured, the Agreement associated with the Quote can be found on the Related tab of the Quote Document

Add the Agreement Template Field to the Quote Template

To add the Agreement field to the Quote Template:

• Navigate to: Setup > Objects and Fields > Object Manager
• Select Quote Template from the options on the left side of the page
• Select Page Layouts from the left rail
• Click on the Quote Template Layout link under Page Layout Name

• Click Save

Once the lookup field is applied to the page layout, you can associate your quote templates with any agreement templates, gaining the benefit of the signature flows, attached documents, and data/merge mappings that agreement templates bring.

3. Click on the Quotes tab and create a new quote

• The quote is where you define the relationship of the quote to the Salesforce Account or Opportunity, as well as the other details about this specific transaction (like payment terms, delivery method, discount, and billing / shipping information)
• Save the quote (at the bottom of the window) when complete

4. Click the More Actions (▼) icon on the far right

• Select Edit Lines from the drop-down options

The Edit Quote page loads with no line items.

5. Click Add Products, which launches the product list

6. Select each product you want included in the quote from the list

• Click the Select button when you are done
  

The Edit Quote page loads again, this time showing the line items you have selected.

This page allows you to edit each line item to alter the quantity or the additional discount fields.

7. Click Save when the line items are ready

If you would like to add one or more additional documents to the quote:

8. Click the More Actions (▼) icon on the far right

• Select Include Document from the drop-down options
• Click the Choose File button, and browse your local system for the file you want to include
• When all of the files you want to include are attached, click Save

9. Click the More Actions (▼) icon on the far right

• Select Generate Document from the drop-down options

10. The quote generates as a document, and the page refreshes to show the quote and any other included documents that you have made available.

• At this point you can add the available files and re-order them
• Once any files are added to the quote, and they are in the desired order, click the Send to Adobe Sign button
  • The quote and Included Content files are automatically attached to the agreement
  • The billing contact on the CPQ quote record is imported as the Recipient on the agreement

When the agreement has been created, you can see it associated to the Salesforce Account and Opportunity (via the Quote configuration) in a Draft status (assuming you have added the agreement object to the Account and Opportunity page layouts).

Note: If you are using the Agreement Template lookup, you can configure that template to Auto Send, and the Quote will be sent once generated.

• Click the Agreement link to open it
• Review the recipient list and attached files. Edit as needed
• Click Send when you are ready to send the quote to the first recipient
  

The agreement will process for a short time, and then present a Successful send page:

As the Agreement progresses through the signature cycle, the Agreement status automatically updates the Quote status:

• When the agreement status is Out for Signature, the quote status says Sent
• When the agreement status is Signed, the quote status says Signed
• When the agreement status is Approved, the quote status says Signed
• When the agreement status is Cancelled, the quote status says Declined
• When the agreement status is Expired, the quote status says Expired

Confirm functionality

Once the installation is completed, take a moment to verify that the objects are working properly.

The following process describes the default functionality, where the generated quote is automatically attached to the agreement, and the Recipient for the agreement is the Billing Contact on the CPQ Quote.

Admins that want to leverage the full power of the Adobe Sign/CPQ integration will want to explore everything that Adobe Sign templates offer.

1. Launch CPQ from the App Launcher

Adobe Sign Template Highlights

Adobe Sign templates are powerful and have extensive ability to automate configuration of the agreement processes, as well as data population to and from agreement forms.  For a full review of these abilities, check out the Field Mapping and Templates guide.

Below is an example configuration with a few options that work specifically well with Salesforce CPQ, and are well worth your time to consider.

Prefill Agreement fields with Quote field values

Personalizing the Agreement starts with adding values from the Quote Document to the Agreement.

• Go to the App Launcher and open Adobe Sign
• Select the Agreement Templates tab and click New
• Set the Master Object Type to SBQQ__QuoteDocument__c
  • This allows field values from the Quote Document to be mapped into the Agreement
    • e.g.: mapping the Quote Document Name to the Agreement Name
• Click Save

• Click the Related tab
• Click the New button in the Map Data into Agreement Fields section

The Add a New Field Mapping page opens:

• In the Mapping Method pick list, select Select Master Object Field
• Click Next

Step 2 : Specify the Field Value and Target Field:

• The Select Source Field from Master Object pick list presents all of the field options that you can use as the source of the field value you want to import to the Agreement field. For this example, select Document Name (String)
• The Target Agreement Field is the field you want to insert the value into. for this example, use Agreement Name (String)
• Click Save

As you add mappings to the template, they build a list in the Related tab of the template.

To the far right of each record is a action arrow that opens a pick list to either Delete or Edit the mapping.

Adding File Attachments

Adding files to agreements is pretty common. You will want to add at least the Quote Document, but other files can be attached by this same process.

This example attaches the Quote Document:

• Open the Agreement Template and select the Related tab
• Click on the Add File Attachments link

• Click the New button to open the Step 1: Select File Attachment Type page
• In the Attachment Type pick list, select Runtime Variable
  • Note that you can also attach files from the Adobe Sign (Echosign) Library, as well as the Salesforce Content, Library or Master Object
• Click Next

Step 2: Specify the File Attachment opens:

Because a Runtime variable was selected for the Attachment Type, a Variable Name is required:

• Enter QuoteDocument in the Variable Name field
  • If a library had been selected as as the Attachment Type, a list of available documents in that library would be presented
• Click Save

Like the Field Mappings, a list of attached files for the template builds on the Related tab of the template.

Adding Recipients

Adding recipients to the Agreement Template allows you to define a signature flow based on your internal practices.

This can be as simple as just sending the agreement to the customer/signer, or as complex as including internal approval steps and counter signatures. 

This example adds the primary contact on the quote as a signer using a runtime variable:

• Open the Agreement Template and select the Related tab
• Click on the Add Recipients link

• Click the New button to open the Step 1: Select Recipient Type and Role page
• In the Source of Recipient pick list, select Runtime Variable
• Ensure the Recipient Type is Contact
  
  • Recipient Role dictates if the Contact will apply a Signature, simply Approve the document, or Delegate one of these two options to another party
  • Signer Verification dictates if the recipient must use a second factor authentication
    • Email - No second factor, email is the sole validation of the recipient identity
    • Password - Applies a password to the signing of the document, forcing the password to be entered before the document is viewable
    • KBA - Knowledgebased Authentication can only be used in the United States, and uses the social security number of the recipient to ask several questions which must be answered before the document is viewable
    • Social - Social authentication requires the signer to authenticate to a different social application (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) before presenting the document
    • Phone - An SMS text is sent to the recipient's phone, and they must then enter the given six digit number to view the document
  • Recipient Message provides a private message to the recipient at the time they open the document for signing
  • Index is the signing order for the recipient. 1 will be the first signer, 2 will be the second and so on
• Click Next when the recipient is correctly configured

The Step 2: Specify the Recipient page opens:

• In the Variable Name field, type PrimaryContact
• Click Save

Just like the previous lists, the Recipients list on the Related tab of the Agreement template:

Link your Quote Template to your Agreement Template

Linking your Agreement Template to your Quote Template enables the automation of the Agreement when you generate your Quote.
