Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge - 3 & 4


Trailhead Baby's quest continues- Complete the Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge on Trailhead while triggering every possible error message. Hopefully these errors will help you too!




Let's start Step 3 with Trailhead Baby's favorite error message... The message that you trigger without doing anything but clicking...

This helpful error message started me in the right direction to complete the step... create a GL Account record.  After I created these records, it was time to see what should be done next by clicking "check challenge" a second time.... 


Ah ha! A GL Rule is needed next! Which leads us into error 3....


I am a big fan of helpful error messages, but this is getting to be too much.  I suppose if I create all of the items listed in this, then I can pass step 3 of the superbadge?  Yes?  Almost!
There is space for just one more....


I think that's enough error messages until after lunch.... Did you find any other error messages for step 3? No?  A little lunch, then it is time for challenge #4 of the Advanced Billing Specialist superbadge! 






I started this step with NO IDEA what a "billing rule" is or how it was used.  This artile from Salesforce's help docs was super helpful to understand the purpose of each field:

Some hints for steps 5,6,7,8.... are coming soon!  I am currently stuck on step 9- Anyone able to help?

    I was stuck on challenge 4 yesterday. Thankfully I walked away and came back. The link from above was super helpful, I was trying to make things much too complicated. Now onto step 5

    Challenge 4 was really easy only I changed the 2 fields in default billing rule in org ; Partial Period Treatment & Ammendment Bill Cycle to Seperate & Align to Original Order Products respectively, after that Made one Billing Treatment using Post Invoice, UMS US accounting finance & Legal Entity.

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 4,5,6,7

Part of doing the Service Cloud Specialist superbadge is trying new things, so I am putting up picture of new things that I've tried recently.  One of my favorite new things this week was taking a shower with my whole block collection.  Mom put me in the shower, and I sneaked out to grab the block bin and dumped it in.  I'm concerned to share photos because of the slight nudity, however, I can assure you that it was a glorious adventure.  Instead, I'll share my favorite Saturday new thing- walking to the coffee shop for a sprinkle donut!  Back to the superbadge... Challenge 4 Case Routing If you haven't taken the Onmi Channel module yet, now is a good time! I kept that particular module open one on screen while I walked through this step.  It is hard to give many hints about this step without giving away too many details - so - the best advice is to read through the challenge and label each step with the corresponding Salesforce term.  (IE - "The...

Business Administration Specialist Superbadge- 3 & 4

This afternoon, I added a genius wig in an attempt to look a little older and more experienced.  The free lemonade offer worked!  I made two dollars today!  A huge thank you to Jocelyn Fennewald , Salesforce MVP, for pointing out the "remove all columns" option within the report creator.  When you start a create a new report, simply click to start with a clean screen.  If you are familiar with report and dashboards, this challenge should only take 30 or so minutes to complete.  Below are tips and gotchas for each report / dashboard.  If you need more help, leave a comment!

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

A confession - I know next to nothing about service cloud.  While I was excited that a new superbadge was available, it made me a little nervous that I had to do all of the prerequisites and tackle new things like macros.  New things - new year - let's get started! (Right after I finish guitar practice) If you are also a service cloud novice, the Omni-Channel Basics is a crucial prerequisite even though it is not officially required. Challenge 1 App Appearance  This, like all superbadges, requires a careful read through the instructions prior to any clicking.  I found it helpful to take a separate notebook and write down the steps that I would need for each challenge step - for example -  My rough notes for challenge 1: Create 2 profiles  Tweak service Console 3 new items on utility bar Allow access for new profiles Create User  Beware - After editing the service console, you might have to edit the new profiles.  I found i...
