1. Salesforce CPQ & Billing Developer Guide, Invocable Actions: The createOrUpdateAssetFromOrder action is documented as the standard method to "Create or update an asset from an order." This confirms the automation component required for asset generation. (Reference: Salesforce CPQ & Billing Developer Guide, section on Invocable Actions).
2. Salesforce Help, Product Fields in Salesforce CPQ: The documentation details the Asset Conversion field on the Product object. It states, "Choose when to convert this product to an asset... This field is key to asset creation from your quote lines and order products." This confirms the product configuration requirement. (Reference: Salesforce Help, Article ID: 000389323, "Product Fields").
3. Salesforce Help, Standard Objects: The Asset object is listed as a standard Salesforce object available in various editions. Access is governed by standard object permissions (Read, Create, Edit, Delete), not special licenses or administrative permissions for routine management tasks. (Reference: Salesforce Object Reference Guide, "Asset").
4. Salesforce Help, Profile Permissions: The "Customize Application" permission is defined as allowing users to customize the application using the App Setup menu. This is distinct from the data access permissions needed to manage records. (Reference: Salesforce Help, Article ID: 000324493, "User Permissions").
