What must be true about a product before it can be given a price in a custom price book and sold on an opportunity?
- AThe product must first have a standard price recorded in the Standard Price Book before it can be given a list price in any custom price book. Correct
- BThe product must be defined as a master-detail child of the price book so that deleting the price book also deletes the product.
- CThe product must be assigned to a forecast category so that the revenue it generates rolls up into the pipeline correctly.
- DThe product must be owned by the same user who owns the opportunity on which it will eventually be sold.
Why A is correct: Correct: a product needs an active standard price before a custom price book entry can be created, so the Standard Price Book underpins every custom price book.
Why B is wrong: Tempting because master-detail governs many parent-child links, but products relate to price books through price book entries, not a master-detail relationship.
Why C is wrong: Forecast categories apply to opportunity stages, not to products, so this is an unrelated requirement invented for the product record.
Why D is wrong: Product and price book setup is org-wide reference data; record ownership of the opportunity has no bearing on whether a product can be priced.
