To calculate the estimated monthly amount a customer needs to pay for their commodity usage,
configuring Energy and Utilities Cloud CPQ to use usage-based pricing is the most appropriate
approach. This method allows for the calculation of charges based on the actual consumption of the
commodity, which can vary from month to month. Usage-based pricing provides the flexibility to
accurately reflect a customer's consumption patterns in their billing, offering a transparent and fair
pricing model that aligns with the variable nature of commodity usage. Reference = Salesforce
