Protect existing configurations during your CPQ migration

Moving from the legacy NetSuite CPQ Configurator bundle to SuiteApps requires a data-retention plan. Oracle warns that removing the migration bundle afterward permanently deletes the legacy configuration and transaction field data it retains.

CPQData-retention safeguard
Why it matters

Removing the wrong bundle can permanently lose existing configuration and transaction field data.

First step

Confirm the migration bundle is present and marked for retention before any CPQ removal or cleanup.

Suggested owner

CPQ process owner and NetSuite administrator

Who should check?

Teams planning a migration from the legacy NetSuite CPQ Configurator bundle, and teams that have already migrated and still need existing configured transactions. The migration-bundle installation step does not apply to CPQ Guided Selling.

A practical response

  • Confirm which CPQ components are installed and contact NetSuite Customer Support before planning the migration. Do not remove bundles as routine cleanup.
  • Document the installation, export and import sequence, including the migration bundle that must remain. Rehearse the process and validate retained configuration and transaction data in a suitable test account.
  • Test editing representative existing configured transactions and the affected quoting processes. Record acceptance and the retained-bundle requirement before approving production changes.
