the 'attempt to de-reference a null object' error when amending the legacy contract.what
is the most likely cause for the error?
The error 'attempt to de-reference a null object' typically occurs when there is an attempt to access a field or method on an object that has not been initialized or has been assigned a null value. In the context of Salesforce Revenue Cloud, when amending legacy contracts and subscriptions, this error can occur if required fields are missing or incorrectly populated on the legacy contract and subscription data. This could be due to incorrect data migration or manual data entry errors. It's important to ensure that all required fields are correctly populated when migrating legacy data to Salesforce CPQ.

Should Bundles be a scoping topic of discussion as part of a CPQ project?
Universal Containers is reporting a platform governor limit issue while saving a quotewith a large number of quote line items.
What should the Revenue cloud consultantrecommend to address the issue?
The Large Quote Experience is a feature of Salesforce Revenue Cloud that allows businesses to handle quotes with a large number of quote line items more efficiently and avoid platform governor limit issues. The Large Quote Experience optimizes the performance of the Quote Line Editor and the Quote Calculator by using asynchronous processing, caching, and pagination. By enabling the Large Quote Experience, businesses can improve the user experience and reduce the risk of hitting CPU time, heap size, or SOQL query limits when saving or calculating large quotes. The Large Quote Experience can be enabled by setting the CPQ Package setting for ''Large Quote Experience'' to True. The Large Quote Experience also requires the CPQ Package setting for ''Quote Batch Size'' to be set to a value between 50 and 200, which determines the number of quote line items processed in each batch. The optimal value for this setting depends on the complexity and configuration of the quote line items
