Services CPQ Administration

The Services CPQ Administration page enables you to map fields on an estimate and its related records to fields on the records created from them in PSA. For more information about creating a project from an estimate, see Creating a Project from an Estimate.

Mappings in Services CPQ use the FDN Mappings component. For more information, see Adding Custom Mappings from the FDN Mappings Component.

Notes:
  • Your administrator must assign you the FDN Core - Administrator and FDN Core - Mapping permission sets to be able to edit and create mappings.
  • The following field mappings can't be edited or deleted: Account, Currency ISO Code, End Date, Opportunity, and Start Date. These fields will always map from an estimate to their counterparts on a project.
  • When creating custom mappings, ensure that the mappings you create are between the same field types. For example, Text to Text and Date to Date. If you create a mapping between different field types, users will receive an error when creating a project from an estimate.
