Billing Specialist Superbadge - 1 & 2



This Billing Specialist Superbadge is like learning to make coffee for the first time.  You dump out the grounds and grab a filter.  It's a huge mess and somehow the grounds end up everywhere..    Then, you remember that everything needs to be put into the coffee maker, but wait, add water!   You dump it all in and quickly realize there there really is a logical order to making coffee.  It is not hard, but there are steps that must be followed in the correct order.  CPQ is a lot like making coffee.  Once you understand the steps, this superbadge is not too hard.  Before you see the steps, it's a mess!

In addition to the Trailhead Baby's normal tips, I will share a few of my favorite resources for each step in the challenge.  If you are stuck, check out the "steps" in the resource, and it should be much easier!



 Having trouble with step 1?  Trailhead Baby's advice: Give up!  Go back to Trailhead and tackle a few more trails first.

Two articles that were incredibly helpful:

If you follow the steps in both of these links, challenge 2 should be a breeze!  Before you start crafting the consumption schedules, make sure that the needed picklist values are created!  

You might pass this without creating a global value set, however, it will cause issues later!


Stuck with the "We couldn't find the Consumption Schedule named 'Panel Maintenance Request...." error?  Here are a few things to check:

  1. Consumption Rates - one of the ranges is a "per request" charge while one is an "up to this #" charge.  
  2. Billing Terms 
  3. The Rating Method and Type are the same for both of the consumption schedules


Stuck?  Leave a comment with details!  Trailhead Baby never gives an "answer" but can usually give a suggestion.

Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

Hello all! It's time for another superbadge! I started this superbadge a long time ago... it's time to finish it!  My goal is to complete this badge before my little brother starts to walk.  He's getting close... Step 1 - A quiz.  You're on your own! Step 2- This is one checkbox in setup.  You're on your own! Step 3- Let's talk about that.... Dataflow. The best tool to use when crafting your dataflow is the data monitor.  It can help troubleshoot issues to find which part of the process needs some work. For example.... Why were rows not created? The problem? A box was checked that should not be checked.... The alias name was not correct for the "register" node. Once you see that beautiful green "Success" message, it's time to check the challenge.  Do not be discouraged if you get a few error messages.  This superbadge is EXTREMELY picky on syntax.  A few common errors: You can see this error and st...

Security Superbadge -2

Challenge 2: Record-Level Security Settings I created the three user profiles last time, so the starting point tonight was the next tier of security - roles.  I set up the roles per the provided org chart, making sure to follow the opportunity restrictions from the directions. Next, I set up the required user and assigned her to the correct profile and role. Hint:   Use a real email address for Samantha Cordero.  You will need to login as Samantha in order to create an opportunity for her.  While you are at it, go ahead and login to Salesforce1 as Samantha. Once Salesforce1 is enabled, you can set up the appropriate permissions.  You may want to take take a peek at a Salesforce Knowledge Article .   Me - as a Project Manager. Next, I addressed the special role - Project Managers Project Managers require a role, permission set, and a  sharing rule.  Whew! For the final step, I set up the remaining sharing rules in     ...
