- Certification: Salesforce Revenue Management Consultant
- Exam section: Contracts and Orders
- Study guide: https://www.certifyforce.com/study-guide/revenue-management-consultant

**Official exam objective:**

> Given a scenario, configure Order Management to meet business requirements.

## What the exam expects

- Create orders from quotes, recognize when creation fails, and tag orders loaded by integrations as Revenue Management orders.
- Split one quote into several orders and state what the split can't do.
- Submit activated orders to Dynamic Revenue Orchestrator and read the Submit Order action's inputs and outputs.
- Change an activated, unfulfilled order with a supplemental order and predict what happens to the original.
- Configure an order lifecycle with object state definitions, custom permissions and activation.

Key terms: **Dynamic Revenue Orchestrator (DRO)** (decomposes a commercial order into technical products and fulfillment plans); **fulfillment plan** (the tracked stages and tasks that fulfill an order); **supplemental order** (a draft copy that changes an activated order before fulfillment); **point of no return (PONR)** (the fulfillment stage after which a line is locked); **object state definition** (the states and transitions of an order lifecycle).
