CPQ Fundamentals
Before I begin, there's something to learn in this post about CPQ. But of course since I like to tell stories, there needs to be a little background first. Then....

How I Privatized A Single Custom Field
As a consultant, you get a lot of weird requests that make you scratch your head and wonder "can I really do this with Salesforce", and sometimes even "why the F would they want to do that, that's ridiculous.
