Data Setup is where most of the exam lives. At 36%, this topic alone can pass or fail you, and it rewards candidates who understand not just what each configuration object is, but how the objects connect to one another at runtime. Errors here ripple forward into visit execution and reporting. If your foundation is shaky, every downstream task breaks in ways that are hard to diagnose under exam time pressure. – Action plans, promotions and KPIs Action Plan Setup...
Data Setup is where most of the exam lives. At 36%, this topic alone can pass or fail you, and it rewards candidates who understand not just what each configuration object is, but how the objects connect to one another at runtime. Errors here ripple forward into visit execution and reporting. If your foundation is shaky, every downstream task breaks in ways that are hard to diagnose under exam time pressure.
– Action plans, promotions and KPIs
Action Plan Setup is the engine behind what field reps are asked to do when they arrive at a store. You need to know how action plan templates are structured, what triggers their assignment, and how frequency and conditions govern which tasks appear on a visit. Promotion Setup builds on this: promotions are tied to products and stores in ways that depend on correct date ranges, eligibility rules, and product associations. Get any of those wrong in configuration and the promotion either never surfaces or surfaces everywhere it should not. Retail Store KPI Setup is the measurement layer. KPIs must be mapped to the right store and the right metric type, and the exam tests whether you understand which configuration choices determine what gets tracked versus what gets ignored. These three sub-topics are tightly coupled: a misconfigured KPI often traces back to a promotion or action plan that was set up with the wrong scope.
– Products, planograms and stores
Product Setup covers how products are represented in the Consumer Goods Cloud data model, including hierarchies, categories, and the attributes that downstream tasks like inventory checks and planogram compliance depend on. A product record that is missing a required attribute will cause silent failures in visit execution, so the exam focuses on what is required versus optional at setup time. Planogram Setup defines the expected shelf layout: which products go where, in what sequence, and at what facings. The configuration choices you make here are precisely what the Planogram Check task compares against during a visit. Store Setup is the anchor for everything else. Stores carry the attributes that determine which action plans, promotions, and KPIs apply to them. Account and store hierarchies, store classifications, and the fields that drive segmentation all live here. Candidates who treat Store Setup as a simple data-entry step consistently lose marks on questions that ask why a downstream object did not associate correctly.
How Data Setup is tested
At 36% of the exam, Data Setup generates more items than any other topic, and the items are predominantly scenario-based. You will be given a configuration state and asked to identify what is wrong, what is missing, or what consequence follows. The trap is treating each sub-topic in isolation. Items frequently describe a symptom in visit execution and expect you to trace it back to a Data Setup misconfiguration. Candidates who memorise field names without understanding the relationships between objects struggle here.
The exam rewards knowing the order of operations: which records must exist before others can be created, and which field values on a parent object constrain what is valid on a child. Planogram and promotion items in particular test whether you can distinguish a configuration choice that prevents an object from being created from one that merely stops it from appearing during a visit. Those are different failure modes, and the items are written to tell them apart. Time management matters too: this topic's item volume means slow working on the first few questions compounds across the section.
The ITExamsTopics practice test for this exam covers all six Data Setup sub-topics across a full bank of scenario-based items. Working through a high volume of questions is the fastest way to find which configuration relationships you have not fully internalised, so you can fix the gaps before exam day rather than discover them during it.
The question below targets one of the configuration relationships in Data Setup that candidates most commonly misread under time pressure.
Which three statements are Correct about Store Products?
Visit Execution carries the same weight as Data Setup, and the two topics are deliberately linked: execution items often describe a field rep's experience at a store and ask you to explain it in terms of how the back-end was configured. The domain here is operational. You are reasoning about what happens at the shelf, what the system captures, and what goes wrong when the setup does not match the real-world store situation. – Checks, compliance and delivery Planogram Check...
Visit Execution carries the same weight as Data Setup, and the two topics are deliberately linked: execution items often describe a field rep's experience at a store and ask you to explain it in terms of how the back-end was configured. The domain here is operational. You are reasoning about what happens at the shelf, what the system captures, and what goes wrong when the setup does not match the real-world store situation.
– Checks, compliance and delivery
Planogram Check is the in-visit activity where a rep compares actual shelf placement against the planogram defined in setup. The exam tests what data the check captures, how discrepancies are recorded, and what configuration choices determine whether a check is mandatory or optional on a given visit. Promotion Check works similarly but against promotion eligibility: the rep confirms whether a promotion is correctly executed at the point of sale. Items here often hinge on understanding what a failed check produces in the system and who sees it. Direct Store Delivery covers the process of recording product deliveries at the store level during a visit. You need to know what objects are created, what fields are required, and how delivery data connects to inventory records. The exam does not test delivery logistics broadly; it tests the Consumer Goods Cloud objects and field-level configuration that make DSD work correctly.
– Inventory, surveys and custom tasks
Inventory Check is about capturing stock levels at the store during a visit. The exam focuses on how inventory data is recorded, what triggers a reorder flag, and how the inventory object relates to the product and store records established in Data Setup. A common trap is confusing what the inventory check captures with what it does automatically versus what requires a separate action. Surveys in Consumer Goods Cloud are structured data-collection tools attached to a visit. The exam tests how surveys are configured, what response types are available, and how survey results are stored and associated with the visit record. Custom Tasks are the escape valve: tasks that do not fit standard activity types. You need to know how they are defined, how they are assigned, and how their completion is tracked. Items on custom tasks tend to test the boundary between what can be handled with a custom task versus what requires a different configuration approach entirely.
How Visit Execution is tested
Visit Execution items are scenario-driven. A rep is at a store, something does not work as expected, and you are asked to identify the cause or the next correct step in the system. The weight of this topic means you will see a high volume of these scenarios, and the items are designed to test whether you understand the Consumer Goods Cloud execution model rather than field operations in general.
The most common source of lost marks is over-indexing on the physical activity rather than the system behaviour. Items reward knowing what object is created when a check is completed, what fields are populated, and what state the visit must be in for a specific task type to be available. Candidates who think about what the rep does physically rather than what the platform records tend to pick options that describe plausible real-world behaviour but do not match the system's actual data model. Surveys and custom tasks are frequently paired in items that test whether you can distinguish the appropriate tool for a given requirement. The distinction matters, and the items are written to surface candidates who know the difference.
Before sitting the exam, it is worth seeing how Visit Execution items are styled so the scenario format is not new to you on the day. The ITExamsTopics free demo lets you try questions from this topic at no cost before deciding whether to buy the full bank.
The question below presents a visit execution scenario and asks you to identify the system-level outcome of a specific field activity.

What should a Consultant recommend to make this callout easier to configure, easier to maintain, and performant?
After working through the two heaviest topics, the Platform topic asks you to step back and think about the Salesforce foundation that Consumer Goods Cloud runs on. At 10%, it is not a large slice, but it is one where candidates with a general Salesforce background can gain easy marks and candidates without one can lose them unexpectedly. The sub-topics span configuration basics, the object model, permissions, and customisation options, all of which underpin every setup and execution decision you...
After working through the two heaviest topics, the Platform topic asks you to step back and think about the Salesforce foundation that Consumer Goods Cloud runs on. At 10%, it is not a large slice, but it is one where candidates with a general Salesforce background can gain easy marks and candidates without one can lose them unexpectedly. The sub-topics span configuration basics, the object model, permissions, and customisation options, all of which underpin every setup and execution decision you have already studied.
– Core concepts, object model and configuration basics
Platform core concepts cover the Salesforce primitives that Consumer Goods Cloud is built on: how standard and custom objects relate, how records are created and associated, and how the platform's data model differs from a generic CRM deployment. The object model overview sub-topic sharpens this: you need to know the specific objects that Consumer Goods Cloud introduces, how they extend standard Salesforce objects, and what the relationships between them look like. This is not a general Salesforce admin topic. The exam tests the Consumer Goods Cloud object model specifically, so knowing Salesforce broadly is a starting point, not a destination. Configuration basics covers the setup decisions made at the org level: record types, page layouts, field configuration, and the choices that determine how the Consumer Goods Cloud application behaves out of the box versus after customisation. Items here reward knowing which configuration options are available at which level of the platform hierarchy.
– Permissions, UI setup and customisation
Permission management in Consumer Goods Cloud determines which users can access which records and which actions. The exam tests permission sets, profiles, and the Consumer Goods Cloud-specific permission structures that control field rep access versus manager access versus admin access. Getting permissions wrong in a scenario question usually means selecting an option that grants access too broadly or too narrowly for the described requirement. User interface setup covers how the Consumer Goods Cloud interface is configured for different user types. Field reps, managers, and administrators see different views, and the exam tests how those views are configured and what drives the differences. Platform customisation options is the broadest sub-topic: it covers the range of declarative and programmatic tools available to extend Consumer Goods Cloud behaviour. Items here tend to test the boundary between what should be handled declaratively versus what requires code, and they reward candidates who know where that boundary sits in the Consumer Goods Cloud context specifically.
How Platform is tested
At 10%, Platform contributes a modest number of items, but they tend to be precision questions rather than scenario narratives. You will be asked to identify the correct configuration object, the right permission structure, or the appropriate customisation approach for a described requirement. The items are short and specific, which means there is less context to help you reason your way to an answer.
Candidates with a Salesforce Administrator background sometimes over-apply general Salesforce knowledge here and pick options that are valid on the platform broadly but incorrect in the Consumer Goods Cloud context. The exam rewards knowing where Consumer Goods Cloud diverges from standard Salesforce behaviour. Permission management items in particular test whether you understand the Consumer Goods Cloud-specific permission sets rather than just the standard Salesforce profile model. Customisation items reward knowing which tool is appropriate for which requirement: picking a programmatic solution for something that should be declarative is a common wrong turn. The UI setup items are usually the most straightforward in this topic, provided you have worked with the Consumer Goods Cloud interface and understand what is configurable versus fixed.
If Platform is a weak area, targeted practice is more efficient than re-reading documentation. The ITExamsTopics practice test lets you filter by topic so you can concentrate your remaining prep time on the specific sub-topics where you are dropping marks.
The question below focuses on a Platform configuration decision where the Consumer Goods Cloud context changes the answer from what a general Salesforce background would suggest.
Visit Planning sits upstream of execution: it is the configuration layer that determines which rep goes to which store, how often, and by what route. At 6%, it is a smaller portion of the exam, but the sub-topics are interconnected in ways that make a shallow reading expensive. A misconfiguration in territory management or frequency rules produces visit assignment problems that look, on the surface, like execution failures, and the exam tests whether you can locate the real cause. –...
Visit Planning sits upstream of execution: it is the configuration layer that determines which rep goes to which store, how often, and by what route. At 6%, it is a smaller portion of the exam, but the sub-topics are interconnected in ways that make a shallow reading expensive. A misconfiguration in territory management or frequency rules produces visit assignment problems that look, on the surface, like execution failures, and the exam tests whether you can locate the real cause.
– Scheduling, frequency and territory
Visit scheduling setup covers how the system determines when a store visit should occur. This includes the configuration objects that hold scheduling rules, the conditions that trigger visit generation, and the relationship between scheduling configuration and the calendar records that field reps work from. Visit frequency rules build on this by specifying how often a particular store or store segment should be visited. The exam tests how frequency rules interact with scheduling setup and what happens when a store qualifies under multiple rules with conflicting frequencies. Territory management basics covers how stores are grouped into territories and how territories are assigned to reps. The exam does not go deep into Salesforce Territory Management as a standalone product; it focuses on how territories function within the Consumer Goods Cloud visit planning model and what territory assignment means for visit generation and rep workload.
– Route planning, store assignment and workflow
Route planning basics covers the configuration that sequences store visits into an efficient route for a field rep. The exam tests what drives route generation, what inputs the system uses, and how route configuration interacts with scheduling and territory setup. Store visit assignment is the step where a planned visit is linked to a specific rep. Items here test the assignment rules, the conditions under which a visit can be reassigned, and what the assignment object looks like in the data model. Planning workflow configuration is the broadest sub-topic in this group: it covers the end-to-end workflow from visit generation through to rep notification and confirmation. The exam tests the sequence of steps, the system objects created at each step, and the configuration choices that determine whether the workflow runs automatically or requires manual intervention. Candidates who understand the full planning pipeline, rather than each step in isolation, perform better on items that describe a breakdown midway through the process.
How Visit Planning is tested
Visit Planning items at 6% are fewer in number, but they are disproportionately tricky because the sub-topics describe a process with a clear sequence, and the exam exploits that sequence. Items frequently describe a planning outcome that is wrong and ask you to identify which configuration step is the source. Candidates who know each sub-topic individually but have not thought about how they chain together tend to pick the wrong step.
Frequency rules and territory management generate the most confusion. Items reward knowing exactly which configuration object governs which behaviour, because several objects in the planning domain have overlapping-sounding names and purposes. Route planning items tend to be more straightforward, provided you understand what inputs the route engine uses. Planning workflow items are often the most nuanced: the exam tests the difference between a workflow that fails silently and one that produces an error, and it rewards candidates who know what the system does at each stage rather than just what the end state should look like. Given the lower item count, a single missed concept here has a proportionally larger impact than in the heavier topics.
With only 6% of the exam allocated here, you want to confirm your Visit Planning knowledge is solid without spending disproportionate time on it. The ITExamsTopics practice test lets you work through this topic under timed conditions so you can gauge your confidence level quickly.
The question below targets the kind of planning sequence item where knowing the configuration order is what separates the right option from the plausible-sounding wrong ones.
Integrations covers how Consumer Goods Cloud connects to systems outside its own boundary: ERPs, third-party platforms, and any external data source that feeds or receives data from the org. At 6%, the topic is narrow, but the items are precise. You are not being tested on integration architecture in general. You are being tested on the specific patterns, objects, and error conditions that Consumer Goods Cloud uses to manage external connectivity. – Connectivity, data sync and PI integration External system...
Integrations covers how Consumer Goods Cloud connects to systems outside its own boundary: ERPs, third-party platforms, and any external data source that feeds or receives data from the org. At 6%, the topic is narrow, but the items are precise. You are not being tested on integration architecture in general. You are being tested on the specific patterns, objects, and error conditions that Consumer Goods Cloud uses to manage external connectivity.
– Connectivity, data sync and PI integration
External system connectivity covers the mechanisms Consumer Goods Cloud uses to send and receive data from outside the Salesforce platform. The exam tests which connection types are relevant to the Consumer Goods Cloud context and what configuration is required at the org level to enable them. Data sync processes cover the scheduled and event-driven synchronisation patterns that keep Consumer Goods Cloud records aligned with external systems. The exam focuses on what drives a sync, what objects are involved, and what the system does when a sync produces a conflict or a failure. PI integration basics covers the specific integration patterns relevant to pricing and inventory data sources. The sub-topic name is abbreviated in the official outline, and the exam tests the configuration and data mapping required to bring external product and inventory data into Consumer Goods Cloud correctly. Candidates who skip this sub-topic on the assumption that it is too narrow typically find it appears in items they cannot reason through.
– Third-party setup, error handling and data mapping
Third-party platform setup covers the configuration steps required to connect Consumer Goods Cloud to an external platform, including authentication, endpoint configuration, and the org-level settings that govern outbound connections. The exam tests the sequence of setup steps and the consequences of skipping or misconfiguring any of them. Integration error handling is one of the most examinable sub-topics in this group. The exam tests what happens when an integration call fails, how errors are surfaced in the system, and what the correct remediation path is. Items reward knowing the difference between a transient error that resolves on retry and a configuration error that requires manual intervention. Data mapping configuration covers how fields in Consumer Goods Cloud map to fields in external systems. The exam tests what happens when a mapping is absent, when data types do not align, and how mapping errors manifest at runtime. Knowing the failure mode is as important as knowing the correct mapping.
How Integrations is tested
Integrations items at 6% are typically short and scenario-based, describing an integration state and asking you to diagnose a problem or identify the correct configuration step. The items are precise: they test specific objects, specific error types, or specific configuration fields, not integration concepts in the abstract.
The most common source of lost marks is treating integration error handling as a secondary concern. Items reward knowing exactly what the system produces when an integration fails and what action resolves each failure type. Candidates who understand connectivity and data mapping but have not studied error handling tend to pick options that describe the right general approach but the wrong system-level action. Data mapping items reward attention to field-level detail: the exam distinguishes between a mapping that produces a silent data quality problem and one that throws an explicit error, and the remediation steps differ. PI integration items are the most specialised in this topic, and candidates who have not specifically reviewed that sub-topic are at a disadvantage because the item context does not provide enough orientation to reason from first principles alone.
Coverage across every topic matters most in a six-topic exam where a weak area in even a 6% topic can tip a borderline result. The ITExamsTopics practice test includes Integrations items so no part of the syllabus is a blind spot on exam day.
The question below presents an integration failure scenario and asks you to identify the system-level cause from the configuration detail provided.
Analytics is the final topic and the one candidates most often underprepare. At 6%, it feels skippable, but the sub-topics span dashboard configuration, KPI reporting, field performance measurement, and data source management, all of which require knowing how Consumer Goods Cloud stores and exposes data rather than how to use a BI tool. The items are configuration questions, not analysis questions. – Dashboards, KPI reports and data sources Dashboard setup basics covers how dashboards are configured in the Consumer Goods...
Analytics is the final topic and the one candidates most often underprepare. At 6%, it feels skippable, but the sub-topics span dashboard configuration, KPI reporting, field performance measurement, and data source management, all of which require knowing how Consumer Goods Cloud stores and exposes data rather than how to use a BI tool. The items are configuration questions, not analysis questions.
– Dashboards, KPI reports and data sources
Dashboard setup basics covers how dashboards are configured in the Consumer Goods Cloud context: which components are available, what data they draw from, and what configuration choices determine what a user sees when they open a dashboard. The exam tests setup decisions, not dashboard reading skills. KPI tracking reports cover the report objects and configurations that surface store and rep performance against the KPIs established in Data Setup. The connection back to Retail Store KPI Setup is deliberate: items in this sub-topic sometimes test whether you understand how a KPI configured in setup flows through to a report at runtime. The sub-topic labelled analytics data sources (listed in the official outline with a typographic anomaly) covers which data sources feed Consumer Goods Cloud analytics and how those sources are connected to reporting objects. The exam tests what is available as a data source and what configuration is required to make a source queryable in a report or dashboard.
– Report configuration, performance analytics and visualisation
Report configuration options covers the range of choices available when building a report in Consumer Goods Cloud: groupings, filters, time periods, and the field-level selections that determine what a report returns. Items here test whether you know which configuration option produces a described report output, not whether you can interpret a report once it is built. Field performance analytics covers the specific metrics used to evaluate field rep activity: visit completion rates, task compliance, survey response rates, and similar measures. The exam tests how these metrics are calculated and which objects they draw from, because the same metric name can be calculated differently depending on configuration. Data visualisation tools covers the chart and visualisation types available in Consumer Goods Cloud reporting and what configuration drives their appearance. Items in this sub-topic are typically the most straightforward in the Analytics topic, provided you have reviewed what visualisation options exist and when each is appropriate.
How Analytics is tested
Analytics items reward configuration knowledge, not analytical judgment. The exam is not testing whether you can interpret a chart or draw a business conclusion from a dataset. It is testing whether you know how to configure a report or dashboard to produce a specified output, and what happens when a configuration choice is wrong.
KPI tracking items are frequently paired with Data Setup knowledge: the exam describes a KPI report that is returning unexpected results and expects you to trace the cause to either the report configuration or the underlying KPI setup. Candidates who treat Analytics as a standalone topic and do not connect it to Retail Store KPI Setup tend to misread these items. Field performance analytics items reward knowing the specific metric definitions used in Consumer Goods Cloud, because items are written to distinguish candidates who know the precise calculation from those who know the concept generally. Data source items are a known weak point for candidates who have not reviewed how Consumer Goods Cloud exposes its data to reporting tools. These items are short and specific, and there is limited context in the scenario to help you recover if the underlying knowledge is absent.
Analytics is the topic most likely to be underpractised going into exam day. Checking your weak areas with the ITExamsTopics practice test, rather than re-reading documentation, gives you a direct read on which configuration concepts you have genuinely retained.
The question below tests a specific Analytics configuration decision where the link back to Data Setup determines which option is correct.
