Billing Specialist Superbadge - Step 15 (the monster)


*cue the confetti*

Step 15 of the Billing Specialist superbadge was a monster!  If you are stuck, post a comment below but include details of where you are in the challenge!

Here are a few tips:

  • Creating Usage records?  Start from the quote and work your way to the Order Product.  Create them on the Order Product!  Why?  If you do not, it can be a monster job to link the usage to the usage summary and the order product.  (How do I know?  You don't want to know!)
  • "For more than 10 requests, the price changes to $35 per request."  This means that $35 * 12  =
    $420.  In the real world, this makes no sense as 12 requests are cheaper than 10. 
  • Turn off triggers in CPQ and Billing if you get stuck.  
  • If you have trouble with the "Order Type" field, it's not that hard to reactivate a picklist value :) 
  • This article walks through the process to create a credit note without tax 
  • An invoice must be posted to apply a credit note. 

Are you stuck here? 
So was I....for a week! 


How to fix this problem:
  1. Follow this path to get to the Order Product record: Quote > Related Order > Order Product > Related
  2. Start by looking at the usage summaries and make sure you write down the Usage Summary number that should tie to your Usage record.  REMEMBER- One item bills annually, one bills monthly!
  3. Create the Usage record
Do NOT start anywhere else! Why?  It's is a monster to associate the order product and usage summary with the usage record if you do not start from the Order Product related list!   

Ready for some good news?  Once you get past the usage issues, the rest of the challenge should FLY by!  

Stuck on credit allocations? Payment allocations?  The secret is to look for the hard to find "allocate" options.   



Are you stuck somewhere else? A different error message?  Leave a comment and Trailhead Baby will come to the rescue! 
Off to rescue people!

  1. Hi Trailhead Baby! Got stuck with generating invoices, I am trying to bill now but invoices are not showing up automatically, I turned off the trigger and tried in all possible cases but I can't figured out, can you give me any ideas on it.

    1. I would turn the triggers back on then... check is the:
      * Quote approved
      * Order Activated
      * Order Contracted?

    4. Yuck! I am happy to take a look at a few screenshots if you want to send them to rebecca@capstorm.com (Just include a note that I asked you to send them... I get a lot of "unsolicited" screenshot emails and only look at the ones I request!)

    5. Deepti - Any response from Trailhead Baby.

      Can you please clarify one thing here. SolarBot product Charge Type is Usage.

      If I do Usage then I can assign SolarBot product in the consumption schedule.

      Delete
    6. This is a very late response, but I had to do the entire badge from the very beginning to identify why my usage summaries were not automatically being generated, so maybe this will save someone else the pain.

      In a way earlier step, the scenario asks you to ensure that the org is set up for usage billing; however, it will allow you to pass the challenge even if you skip this step so you could miss it.

      You need to go to your Installed Packages and configure CPQ. In the Pricing and Calculation tab, ensure that you have Enable Usage Based Pricing and Quote Line Edits for Usage Based Pricing checked. Then, because SolarBots are becoming usage based, go to the Product record for them and change billing from Advanced to Arrears - this way the customer pays for the usage AFTER it has occurred.

      Only generate the orders after these steps are already completed.

  3. Hello :):) From my side I am only seeing one order for the quote and no quote lines at all :/ I tried turning on and off the processes also. Checking again now for some other ways to figure it out.

    1. Look for an active process builder.

      Delete
    2. Check for mismatches on APIs or missing fields on the Unit of measure. That was causing an error like that when builder was running. Fixed.

      Delete
    3. I'm facing this issue. The error is coming from the QuoteAfter trigger. I don't have any processbuilder tasks enabled. Can you provide any additional suggestions?

  5. Hello Trailhead Baby--

    I am going crazy with this dang badge. It's hard being so close and still not getting it. I am at the usage summaries. I've done the one for Microns and when I try to make the one for Requests I get an error telling me I have a duplicate record. I was able to make them a few hours ago but deleted because I could get the usage (if only I had found your note about the active order before hand...)

    Any thoughts on what might be happening? I followed the order outlined above, the SolarBot order is active (the other isn't). I entered in the details according to the directions:

    Matching ID Matching Attribute Unit of Measure
    1 Micron Micron 100,000
    1 Request Request 12

    Any help would be great. I'm going to take a long walk lol.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Thought I would update this as someone else may need the help. after some reflection, I think the issue is based on the Consumption Schedules created in the 2nd challenge. I went to delete my order to start back from the beginning and ... I can't delete an active order.

      So if you find the usage summaries aren't showing up -- CHECK YOUR CONSUMPTION SCHEDULE BEFORE ACTIVATING THE ORDER. It seems there is no coming back from that step once you do it. I will update here once I get past this.

      Delete
    2. A final reply as I was finally able to get through. Basically you need to follow the invoice through the whole process, which is super complex lol. This Trailhead will give you an idea of how the order/products move from CPQ to Billing

      https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/salesforce-billing-basics/give-finance-a-helping-hand

      Also pay close attention to the data model at the beginning of the badge, it will help you figure out where you need to go next. As Trailhead Baby says-- USE THE RELATED LISTS. ALWAYS.

      If you end up like me with an error you can not get out of, not to worry. Go to installed packages--> Billing --> Disable Triggers --> Save. This will allow you to delete things like active orders. Reactivate it once you've deleted the offending records.

    I created my 2 order,
    - First one with product SolarBots, Total Amount : 0
    - 2nd One 3 others products , Total Amount : 76000$

    I activated bother orders but i still have the error message.
    Do you have any idea please?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    1. If the 2nd Order totals more than $57,750, the product qtys are incorrect.
      10 panel rentals ($200 ea), 10 more panels,
      1 warranty & maintenance plan and a SolarBot.
      You'll get the end total of $57,750.

      Delete
    2. In the second order, (the first one being for the usage-based pricincing ONE SolarBot at 0 USD until we calculate the usage wich will be billed one month after today's date in addition to all other usages added), I am trying to reach this total of 57,750 USD (my current total with the 10 rental panels and 10 asset panels and the warranty being 54,000 USD before the 10% Tax for the California State) by adding a new ONE SolarBot product as a one-time asset on top for 3,750 USD. Is that the correct way?

      Delete
    3. After changing the Warranty Price Book Amount Amount to 500USD and billing annual I finally get the 57,750 USD total. 10 Major Solar Panels to Buy are at 50,000USD + 5,000 Tax one-time asset purchase, the Major Solar Panel rentals for 10 are at 2,000USD + 200 USD tax and the Warranty are at 500 USD instead of 2,000 and billing frequency Anually instead of Quarterly and I get the required total. Then you allocate the Credit Note Line to the Major Panel Rental invoice one and all sorted. My issues are the Billing fields. They still maintain the amounts as pending even though a payment has been allocated to the invoice (which was created manually via Bill now button and not thanks to the invoice scheduler's invoice run). Must be something I am missing in the Salesforce Billing settings package. Also had to amend manually the Billable Unit Price on both the order products and invoice as the proration was all wrong...so that it would not mess up the total amount.

  12. Hi Trailhead Baby,

    Can you please help me- my order products do not show "estimated Tax'. I've added legal entity , tax integration, tax rule, tax treatment and everything is as per requirement. It shows an error in Tax Error Message 'Rate can not be determined for given data.'

    1. I got the same problem too. Did anybody able to resolve ? I saw in some posts that they tweaked something to complete the exercise but no details on it. My error is same as above and below is at order product level: "Rate can not be determined for given data."

      Delete
    2. Getting same error, any one find a solution for this.

      Delete
    3. The instructions earlier on tell you what the billing package needs to be set at for the tax calculation to be based on. In the instructions on this last step, one of the first things it tells you is to update the account (hint hint) to meet the requirements of the billing package settings.

      Delete
    4. Update the Tax Calculation Status to Queued and the Tax will be automatically calculated. Repeat for every Order Product

  15. I'm at the final step but still seeing the same error as about everyone else. Challenge not complete.... can't find the order with all the right info, etc...

    Verified 2 orders were created with tax
    Usage Summaries created correctly and usages created per instructions
    Generated the invoices
    Created the credit
    Created the payment
    Allocated everything per instructions
    No idea what to do now...? I've done all the things that it says to do.... I think... but still not completed. :( Been stuck a couple days now.
    Only thing I can think of is this ", zeroed Total Amount, " in the error message. I don't know where that should be. I do have a pending billing amount I believe for future rental rates, so I don't think that could be zero? Any hint on where I'm missing something would be awesome...

    1. I submitted a case to Trailhead, and the response they came back with is that my total amount and tax amount are incorrect on the solarbot line, not on the line I invoiced out already. When I check the usages, they are not linking correctly to the usage summaries. I get an error (warning, unrelated - could not find matching usage summary). Deleted and recreated, making sure to choose the correct usage summary, when I save it deletes the usage summary and gives me the same error. When I try to create through the usage summary related list, I cannot because it won't let me assign the order product there (yet another error that the id type is wrong when I paste in the order product # and then choose solarbot from the picklist). So I can't create the usage from the product related list nor from the usage summary created list and have it actually save correctly... :(

    5. How do you come up with 76 000? We have 10 rentals 10 assets and 1 warranty = 10 x 5000 + 10 x 200 + 2000 = 54 000

Then the SolarBot Order product has 13 Usage Summaries auto-generated 12 for each monthly billing of the Dust and Debris removal and 1 for the yearly billed Panel Maintenance Requests. We attach 1 usage for today's 12 maintenance requests to the latter totalling 12 x 35 =420 + 42USD Tax (10% in California) and we attach 1 Usage to the former for 100,000 Microns of Dust and Debris Removal usage at 1,000USD + 100USD Tax =1,100USD. We create 2 new invoices (one due in one month and one due in one year from now) with 2 invoice lines corresponding to these two usage summaries and their usages and link them to the correct invoice batch. Am I missing something?

  39. I have all over the last challenge more then I even care to say. I have gone through all the steps multiple times and basically have found out that the tax is the issue and for some reason it is giving me errors and not calculating the tax.
    I have changed the Tax Calculation Status to "Queded" for the products and ensured the installed package has tax calculation based on Order: Account Shipping Address.
    I checked and Account Billing and Shipping Addresses are the same.

  40. The orders are not generating for me! I've allowed multiple orders from package settings, enabled orders from setup, made the quote primary, added the products to the quote with the correct quantities, and even the automation for ordering approved quotes seems to be working. But the orders won't generate. Can someone please help me out?

    1. Your flow seems to be working or is working ? If it's working, just update the Quote Status to Approved and with the flow you configured before, the Orders should be automatically generated, depending of Order By field.

    2. The Flow does work, and I have also populated the Order By field with the previously created Provisioning Method. When I change the Quote Status to Approved, the Ordered checkbox changes to True but no Orders are generated.

    3. Provisioning Method = Internal for the following products : Major Solar Panel, Major Solar Panel Rental and Ursa Major Warranty and Maintenance Plan ?
      Provisioning Method = SolarBot Provisioning for the product SolarBots ?
      Did you use the field API Name in the Provisioning Method picklist field ?

    We couldn't find the Order Product linked to the Quote named 'Q-00015', for the Product 'Major Solar Panel', correct Tax Treatment, Total Price, Tax Treatment Name, and Tax Amount. Please make sure the record exists, it contains the correct values according to the requirements, and please try again.

  44. Can anyone help me with deleting existing orders? I have made big mess in my org, and would like to revert it to quote level but I can't get it to work.
    I did disable tiggers both in billing and cpq, I deactivated all products but can't deactivate orders. They are saving as deactivated, prompt says it's deactivated but after refresh it automatically changes status to activated.
    Please, any help would be appreciated.

    1. You can see provisioning complete field beside status field right … disable triggers, remove date present in provisioning complete field, change status to draft, save. Now you can delete the order.

  49. Hello Varsha,
    Did you configure the Order By field on Quote ? with the following request :"Remember to add the new field API name as a picklist value to the Order By field on the Quote. Also remember to create your custom fields to all objects involved in the auto-mapping process (Product and Quote Line)."

    5. Just verify that 2 orders are generated properly and then if correct amount and tax is being shown there on all order products without any error to begin with then in next step you need to check usage summary records there should be total 13 records available 12 for micron and 1 for request , hope that helps.

    So, I have few questions : do we have to bill the solarbot product or just create usages linked to usage summaries ? If an invoice has to be created, of what amount is it ? I can't get an amount other than $1000, the $420 don't want to come...

    Thank you for your help !

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 channel, Sto

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 it necessary to click "edit&quo
