Universal Containers (UC) has implemented Sales Cloud and Service Cloud in seven countries in EMEA...

In a single-org phased rollout, the configuration can be deployed centrally while feature access is granted only to the users included in the current rollout wave. Permission sets provide the appropriate mechanism because Salesforce uses them to extend feature and object access to selected users without requiring separate orgs or duplicating the implementation.

For Sales Agreements, Salesforce requires users who actively work with the functionality to have the appropriate Sales Agreement permissions and, where applicable, the relevant permission set license. Salesforce's current setup guidance directs administrators to assign the Manufacturing Cloud Sales Agreements permission set to the users who need access.

UC can therefore deploy the functionality once, select the users belonging to the first country, and assign the required permission set only to that population. Later countries can be enabled by assigning the same permissions to their designated users as each rollout phase begins.

Simply displaying the Sales Agreements tab does not provide the necessary underlying object and feature permissions. Assigning Manufacturing licenses to all users at once would also undermine the controlled country-by-country rollout.
