Overview
Oracle CPQ 25D introduces the Oracle CPQ platform-based implementation of Asset-Based Ordering (ABO), referred to as Standard ABO. With Standard ABO, ABO-specific package updates are no longer required to enable new features. New ABO-related features are included within the Oracle CPQ Update.
Beginning with Oracle CPQ 25D, all new ABO implementations will use Standard Asset-Based Ordering (ABO).
All existing Package ABO customers can continue to use and leverage their existing ABO implementation. Customer who have implemented Package ABO prior to Oracle CPQ 25D may want to consider moving to the Standard Quote Process and leveraging Standard ABO for their business.
