Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge - 5 & 6



Today was a fabulous day.. I made a huge mess with shaving cream then decided to tackle the Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge instead of taking a nap. 
I was very cranky later that evening....

Here's the error that you get when clicking "check challenge" without doing anything:

If you are reading this blog, I expect that you've probably already checked out this thread on the Salesforce community... just in case you have not.... I found help for step 5 here:

Trailead Baby is very limited in what can be posted about this challenge, because it would be too easy to just give the answers away.   Here is one hint: If you have to decide whether to create a Revenue Schedule, the answer is always YES!


Stuck? Just leave a comment with what you have... and you must might get a reply!


Ready for step 6? Take a deep breath - This step isn't that bad..



One of Trailhead Baby's fatal flaws is failure to carefully read instructions... The error messages for this superbadge are a great way to avoid "copy/paste" errors!  The Balance Snapshot Scheduler must be named "Cloud Kicks Balance Scheduler".


Suck with an error related to the report?  Here is a major hint - Use Salesforce classic and check the bucket fields:

  4. The error I got seems to be different from what you have up there. I'm on step 6 "Configure one-time and subscription..." and the error I got goes as follows.
    "Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
    We couldn't find the Revenue Distribution Method record named Pro Rata Distribution Method. Please make sure the record exists, its values are correct, and the record is active, according to the requirements."
    And as far as I can tell all the data is out in correctly.

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...

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...
