Salesforce trailhead - Billing Specialist - Rental Baby Bear

Challenge 3 is a baby bear. Quite cute and cuddly, but you need to be aware mamma bear can be lurking around. You need to know your way around handling bears like this, else it can be very painful.

Don't create the new product. It is better to clone the Solar Panel for sale and convert it into a rental product. As always, be careful with the exact string used for the names and codes. You should know how to set up Subscriptions and Billing Configuration for recurring billing. This article is helpful - https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=cpq_subscription_products.htm&type=5. Setting up the Price book to reflect the requirement is the final step and you are done with this challenge.

This challenge definitely needs you to know the basic concepts of Salesforce Billing. It was a good practice for me.

Salesforce Trailhead - Billing Specialist - Momma Bear

Finally meeting the Momma Bear - Challenge # 15 - It has been known to hold trailblazers in a bear hug for months on end, breaking bones and crushing spirits. If you get stuck, you will likely have to delete your orders. This will take some doing. Disable triggers in the managed package. Deactivate your process created in earlier steps. Take the quote back to Draft, remove Ordered, Contracted tick on the respective checkboxes. Remove the quote number from the order. Delete Quote Lines from the quote and you should have a virgin Q-00015 available. To avoid getting into this bear trap, examine your order very carefully before activating it. Make sure the error in the Tax Calculation is addressed. Legal Entity has to be added manually so as to get rid of the error in tax. I am sure you would need to delete the order and quote lines multiple times. To delete the order, remove the Quote reference in the order, remove provisioning date, contracted checkbox to be unchecked and any cont...

Salesforce Trailhead - Billing Specialist super badge - The Invisible Bear

Having already attempted the Process Automation Specialist super badge, I knew that a super badge on the Salesforce Trailhead is not something that one attempts lightly. One does not come out of the experience the same person as ventured in. It is an oft frustrating, head-banging experience as you are out of the familiar arena of trailhead projects, challenges and quizzes. This is where you leave the safety net and step into the near real-world scenario and use cases. With simulated real-world users giving you requirements in non-salesforce lingo. So, attempting the Billing Specialist super badge at the end of my first two weeks on Trailhead, I knew I was up against a biggie. I was pretty convinced to follow every step and pre-step instruction given to me.  I found this discussion forum to be super useful in attempting this SuperBadge. The very first step is to sign up for the  free  Developer Edition org with Salesforce Billing and Salesforce CPQ . I se...
