When a bill of materials (BOM) is represented with hierarchy, such as a parent-child relationship, you may prefer to total the prices of the child items and display them on the parent line as a sum. CPQ rollup pricing totals direct child and parent extended list values. Rollup pricing delivers the sum of all child line prices to the shopping cart, including the price of the parent, and displays it at the parent line.

To view a script that illustrates how a hierarchical bill of materials might be generated, see Adv Product Action with Product List.

The following example shows four child products rolling up to their related parent products.

The next example shows a 2-tier roll-up, with a child product (child1B and child 2B) rolling up to a parent (parent B) and that parent rolling up to the parent product (parent A) in addition to the remaining child products (child 1A and child 2A).
