Universal Containers (UC) recently acquired another company called Cloud Kicks (CK).

The standard way to identify whether an Asset is managed by Salesforce Revenue Cloud's Lifecycle Management engine is by using the HasLifecycleManagement field. This out-of-the-box field is a Boolean value on the Asset object that indicates whether the asset is tied to Revenue Lifecycle-managed records (e.g., originating from CPQ+ or Subscription Management flows).

This field enables reporting, filtering, and business logic to segment Revenue Cloud-managed assets from assets generated through custom or legacy systems like CK’s app. It is the most appropriate solution in this scenario as it requires no customization and is supported natively by Salesforce.

Option B suggests creating a custom field, which is unnecessary since the platform already provides a system field for this purpose.

Option C (Asset Action Source) refers to tracing asset actions to originating events, but it is not suitable for broad classification of asset origin or management type.

Exact Extracts from Salesforce Revenue Cloud Documents:

Subscription Management Implementation Guide – “Asset Data Model”:“The HasLifecycleManagement field flags whether an asset is lifecycle-managed by Revenue Cloud. This is useful in environments where assets come from multiple systems.”

Revenue Cloud Data Dictionary – “Asset Object”:“Use HasLifecycleManagement to distinguish system-managed assets from externally generated or legacy assets.”
