Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge - 7 & 8


Today's mission: Find a pirate treasure and finish the Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge!
Did I find a treasure? Yes!
Did I finish the superbadge? No!

Trailhead Baby is still stuck at Challenge #9...but read on for some hints about steps 7 & 8.



Here are a few error messages.....

Want to get rid of this error message?  Create a Workflow rule.


There should be two rule criteria.


In Trailhead Baby's quest to trigger every possible error message... I did not activate my workflow rule before checking the challenge again....  (Who am I kidding? I simply forgot to activate the rule!)


The secret to passing this step is these words:
 ...when an invoice's due date is more than 30 days in the past
More than 30 days... not 30!  Stuck?  Just write a comment with some details of what you have currently.


 A pirate and Spiderman... looking for treasures in the sand.... 

Start step 8 by going incognito.  Trailhead Baby typically reserves incognito mode for times when he is online shopping using his mom's credit card.... But today, incognito is the simplest way to breeze through challenge #8. 


Are you a Conga expert? I am not! Here are a few hints:

Hint #1:


Hint #2:

    Challenge is failing on ERROR 4 screenshot. Not sure where I am going wrong.
    I am "Invoice:Days Outstanding greater than 30" and "Invoice:Balance greater than 0" as criteria.
    Workflow Action: using Immediate action to send the email alert.

    Hi,
    from december we have a new monster on the same superbadge. There is a new challenge (#9):
    Upsell Cloud Kicks through contract amendment
    Assist UMS in processing the upsell scenario for Cloud Kicks described in the business requirements. On the Bright Sneakers account, unallocate the payment related to INV-0042 and then cancel the invoice. Amend the contract associated with Cloud Kicks and add the additional panel rentals per the request. To complete the challenge, generate a single consolidated invoice.
    I've done everything but I'm stuck with invoice generation with the scheduler

      Process step by step :
      1) Unallocate the payment related to invoice (on the Bright Sneakers account)
      2) Cancel and Rebill the INV-0042
      3) On the account Clouds Kicks, click on the current contract and amend it
      4) Quote Start Date should be equal to the original Quote Start Date + 7 months (ex : Original Quote Start Date : 01/01/2022 => Amendment Quote Start Date = 01/08/2022)
      5) Update quantity from 10 to 12, and save the data
      6) Create the Order (by checking the box)
      7) On the new Order, update the fields "Billing Account" = Bright Sneakers and Billing Batch = Cloud Kicks, then save the data
      8) On the Order Product, update the field "Override Next Billing Date" with the date of the Order Product on original Order
      9) On the Original order, update the field "Billing Account" = Bright Sneakers
      10) Activate the new Order
      11) On Invoice Schedulers, create new schedular as below :
      - Name = as you want
      - Type = Once
      - Invoice Batch = Cloud Kicks Batch
      - Start Date = date of the day
      - Target Date = Next Billing Date of Order Product (new order) + 1 month
      12) Generate the invoice
      And you can run the challenge ;)

    Hey reach out to me if need help on final challenge. I can help. You have to follow all the things mentioned in the requirement but with that what you need to do is to change the Account in the Amendment order to be the Bright Sneakers. Make sure the Invoice is cancelled, change the order and then run the invoice scheduler again.

    This was such a helpful read — it’s always inspiring to see people advancing their skills and building expertise. I believe continuous learning applies to every profession, even in the beauty industry! I run a lash studio here in Los Angeles called Lashes by Shigeru, where we specialize in enhancing natural beauty through treatments like our Japanese AirLash extensions. They're ultra-lightweight and designed to create a soft, effortless lash look that feels completely natural.

    Thanks for sharing your experience — wishing you all the best on your professional journey!

    Great breakdown of the Advanced Billing Superbadge process—super helpful for anyone navigating the Salesforce learning path! As someone juggling work and constant screen time, I’ve learned that little self-care habits make a big difference. I recently started using this best lash and brow serum to strengthen and revive my brows and lashes—tiny rituals like this help me feel more refreshed during long workdays.

    This Superbadge breakdown is super helpful—great job explaining the steps so clearly! While we focus so much on productivity and learning new skills, it’s equally important to care for our mental well-being. For anyone needing support, finding the best treatment for depression can make a real difference.

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...

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...
