The Salesforce administrator at a small manufacturer of fasteners for the automobile industry is configuring Manufacturing Cloud. The sales operations manager wants accurate data so they can compare projected parts sales to actual orders The manufacturer currently manages orders and contracts in an external system (SAP). Which actuals calculation option should the administrator select to achieve the manager's request?
Correct Answer:
A
For a manufacturer managing orders and contracts in an external system like SAP, the administrator should select the option to manually use API upload. This allows for the bulk upload of updated quantities at regular intervals through integration, which the Salesforce org picks up during a daily scheduled job to update sales agreements .
A Salesforce consultant built an integration that calls an external endpoint via an Apex callout. However, the callout is failing with the following error: "System.CalloutException: Unauthorized endpoint".
What should the consultant do to fix this error?
Correct Answer:
B
The error ??System.CalloutException: Unauthorized endpoint?? indicates that the external endpoint is not whitelisted in Salesforce. To allow Apex callouts to access an external endpoint, the administrator or the developer must register the URL in Remote Site Settings. This is a security feature that prevents unauthorized access to external resources from Apex code. Creating a connected app for the external system or ensuring that the integration user has the necessary permissions to perform the callout are not sufficient to fix this error, as they do not address the issue of whitelisting the endpoint12.

A Salesforce consultant has been tasked with creating an integration user to facilitate order data from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system into Sales Agreements. The integration will require the ability to write to a custom object.
How should the consultant extend access to grant the necessary permissions for the integration user?
Correct Answer:
B
For integrating order data from an ERP system into Sales Agreements in Salesforce, the best practice is to create specific permission sets and possibly permission set groups that grant the necessary permissions, including write access to custom objects.
These permission sets should then be assigned to the integration user account. This approach ensures that the integration user has precisely the access needed without the broad permissions that would come with using a Salesforce administrator account. It also allows for more granular control and security by limiting permissions to only those necessary for the integration's functionality .
Which two out-of-the-box actions can be performed on a Sales Agreement?
Correct Answer:
AC
A sales agreement is a long-term contract that defines the terms and conditions for the products and services that you sell to your customers. You can perform various actions on a sales agreement to manage its lifecycle, such as approving, activating, expiring, or deleting it. Two of the out-of-the-box actions that you can perform on a sales agreement are:
✑ Recalculate Actuals: This action updates the actuals for the sales agreement based on the invoices and orders associated with it. You can recalculate actuals manually or schedule it to run automatically at a specified frequency. Recalculating actuals helps you track the progress and performance of the sales agreement over time.
✑ Update Products: This action allows you to add, remove, or modify the products and categories in the sales agreement. You can update products manually or use the mass update feature to apply changes to multiple products at once. Updating products helps you adjust the sales agreement to reflect the changing needs and preferences of your customers.
