Impact of migrating to Hyperforce on Zuora CPQ

For organizations using Zuora CPQ with quotes version lower than 10.2, migrating to Hyperforce can result in an issue when generating Quote PDF documents. Specifically, clicking the "Generate PDF" button on the quotes record may trigger an error known as "Unknown internal error." This issue occurs due to the differences in how Hyperforce interacts with the underlying Salesforce infrastructure.

Minimum Zuora CPQ version required for smooth integration with Hyperforce

To use Hyperforce without encountering the "Unknown internal error" issue, the minimum required version of Zuora CPQ is 10.2. Therefore, if you want to migrate to Hyperforce, ensure that you are using Zuora CPQ version 10.2 or higher.

To upgrade Zuora CPQ for Salesforce, see Upgrade Zuora Quotes.

Potential workaround steps until upgrading to the minimum version

If you are facing challenges in upgrading directly to version 10.2 from a lower version (e.g., 9.XX), a workaround can be applied to alleviate the issue temporarily. The following steps can be taken:

  1. Navigate to the Quote Detail page in Zuora CPQ.
  2. Click on the "Generate PDF" button to initiate the document generation process.
  3. In case the process encounters the "Unknown internal error" error, modify the instance name in the URL. Replace the existing instance name (e.g., "usa32") with the specific domain name of your organization.

By following this workaround, you can generate Quote PDF documents successfully until you upgrade to the minimum required Zuora CPQ version (10.2).
