8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Product-to-Cash Lifecycle and Revenue Cloud Fundamentals & Products, Pricing, and Configuration

  • Sequence the product-to-cash stages and name the record type that carries each stage from catalog through cash application.

  • Draw the data model linking product definition, price book entry, quote line, order line, contract, subscription, asset, billing schedule, invoice line, and payment.

  • Configure a starter catalog containing at least one good and one service product, each with a distinct selling model.

  • Trace one subscription record through its full status progression and annotate which stage of the lifecycle each status represents.

Your checkpoint

A one-page annotated lifecycle diagram covering at least 15 records, submitted with a written paragraph per arrow explaining what changes hands.

Week 2

Products, Pricing, and Configuration

  • Build price book entries so the same product carries different prices in two price books and verify which price a quote pulls by default.

  • Create discount schedules and price rules, then compute the expected evaluated price for each combination before running it.

  • Model a bundle with required and optional components and set the constraints that govern selecting and deselecting components.

  • Configure configuration attributes so that one attribute choice filters which components remain selectable.

  • Test pricing precedence by stacking a list-price override, a volume discount, and a manual line discount on one quote line.

Your checkpoint

A pricing test matrix of 10 scenarios showing expected price, actual price, and a root-cause note for every mismatch.

Week 3

Products, Pricing, and Configuration & Quotes, Quote Lines, and Contracting

  • Generate quotes from opportunities and add standalone, bundle, and service lines without breaking price resolution.

  • Group quote lines into logical sections and confirm group-level rollups match the sum of their lines.

  • Configure a ramped quote line set where quantity or price steps up across periods, and predict the resulting billing spread.

  • Set proration behavior on a mid-period line and verify the partial-period amount against a manual calculation.

  • Produce a customer-facing quote document template that shows line detail, discounts, and totals.

Your checkpoint

Three fully configured quotes (simple, bundle, ramped) with screenshots of totals and a reconciliation table proving each total is correct.

Week 4

Quotes, Quote Lines, and Contracting

  • Convert an accepted quote into an order and contract, then confirm the resulting subscription and asset records match the quoted terms.

  • Execute an amendment that changes quantity mid-term and record the proration outcome.

  • Execute a renewal and a cancellation on the same subscription family and contrast how each affects the term and the billing schedule.

  • Design an approval workflow triggered by discount threshold and document the routing conditions.

  • Sit a 60-question timed assessment across domains 1 through 3 and classify every missed item by root cause.

Your checkpoint

A lifecycle lab log documenting four transactions (new, amend, renew, cancel) plus a scored 60-question practice assessment with a remediation list.

Week 5

Billing, Invoicing, and Payments

  • Generate billing schedules from active subscriptions and verify period boundaries, amounts, and any proration at term edges.

  • Run an invoice generation cycle and reconcile every invoice line back to its source billing schedule row.

  • Apply tax treatment and confirm tax lines appear correctly on the invoice and in totals.

  • Record payments against invoices, including one partial payment, and observe how invoice balance and status change.

  • Issue a credit memo and trace how it reduces the outstanding balance.

Your checkpoint

A completed billing run workbook: 5 invoices, 3 payments (one partial), 1 credit memo, with a reconciliation proving the ending balance.

Week 6

Billing, Invoicing, and Payments & Subscription Management, Revenue Recognition, and Reporting

  • Configure a usage-based charge and confirm rated usage flows into the correct invoice line for the period.

  • Handle a failed payment end to end, including retry and dunning step, and document each state change.

  • Identify performance obligations in a multi-element contract and allocate transaction price using standalone selling prices.

  • Build a revenue recognition schedule for that contract and compute the recognized amount for each period.

  • Produce the journal entries for one period, balancing contract asset or liability against recognized revenue.

Your checkpoint

A revenue recognition pack for one multi-element contract: obligation list, allocation table, schedule by period, and balanced journal entries.

Week 7

Subscription Management, Revenue Recognition, and Reporting

  • Report on subscription health by building views for active subscriptions, upcoming renewals, and churn within the next 90 days.

  • Reconcile billed versus recognized revenue for the quarter and explain every variance line.

  • Analyze amendment and cancellation impact on recurring revenue using a period-over-period comparison.

  • Build a dashboard that surfaces at least five metrics a finance stakeholder would act on.

  • Audit your own data model for reporting gaps, such as missing dates or unlinked records, and list fixes.

Your checkpoint

A working dashboard with five reports plus a one-page narrative explaining each metric and its known limitations.

Week 8

Product-to-Cash Lifecycle and Revenue Cloud Fundamentals & Products, Pricing, and Configuration & Quotes, Quote Lines, and Contracting & Billing, Invoicing, and Payments & Subscription Management, Revenue Recognition, and Reporting

  • Re-run every weak-area item from weeks 4 and 6 and confirm each is now answered correctly with reasoning.

  • Sit two full-length timed mock exams and compare section-level scores between them.

  • Re-derive the end-to-end lifecycle from memory and mark any stage you cannot explain in one sentence.

  • Close remaining knowledge gaps by rebuilding the two configurations you found hardest, without notes.

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams, a final weak-area list reduced to zero unresolved items, and a rewritten lifecycle diagram produced from memory.

Milestones

Week 2: Predict the correct price for 10 pricing scenarios before running them, with at least 8 of 10 predictions matching actual results.

Week 4: Score 75% or higher on the 60-question assessment covering domains 1 through 3, with no single domain below 65%.

Week 6: Produce a multi-element revenue schedule whose period totals reconcile exactly to contract value and whose journal entries balance to zero.

Week 8: Score 80% or higher on both full-length mock exams and explain every missed item without referring to notes.
