Hi,
In Step 7 of Data Integration Specialist, even though code is working as expected ( project status changing from Billable to Bill), I keep on getting the following error :
The SOAP call to the BillingService did not return the correct response. Please check your configurations and code

I know that a similar discussion has been opened but as there's a best answer related to this and that it was initially about the Web Service being down, I want this trail to be dedicated to this issue only. Trying several ways to complete the challenge didn't give any result.

Please don't answer if you only want to say you face the same issue (click on like). Just reply if you resolved the issue or opened a case and mention it. Maybe if a lot of people open a case, Salesforce will fix the issue or be more specific on the issue.

Has someone passed step 7 of Superbadge "Data Integration Specialist" since 20 august 2018 ?
For information, I opened a case 00010194 but still no answer.

I'm trying to complete the Apex Specialist Superbadge.  I have created my WarehouseCalloutService apex class and it seems to match how others have created their class.  However when I run my code and then try and check the challenge, I'm getting the error that seems many others are getting about the Challenge Not Yet Complete.... "The runWarehouseEquipmentSync method does not appear to have run successfully. Could not find a successfully completed @future job for this method. Make sure that you run this method at least one before attempting this challenge. Since this method is annotated with the @future method, you may want to wait for a few seconds to ensure that it has processed successfully."

Here is my code:

public with sharing class WarehouseCalloutService {

    private static final String endpoint = 'https://th-superbadge-apex.herokuapp.com/equipment';

    @future(callout = true)	//need this so that it knows to call to external source
    public static void runWarehouseEquipmentSync(){
        Http http = new Http();
        HttpRequest httpRequest = new HttpRequest();
        httpRequest.setEndpoint(endpoint);
        httpRequest.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse httpResponse = http.send(httpRequest);
        
        //if successfully get the JSON file, need to parse out to different equipment objects
        if (httpResponse.getStatusCode() == 200){ //status = "OK" (this is for GET or HEAD requests)
            List<Object> equipmentList = (List<Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(httpResponse.getBody());
            List<Product2> products = new List<Product2>();
            
            for(Object item: equipmentList){
                Map<String, Object> productMap = (Map<String,Object>) item;	//map of item(s) in JSON file
                Product2 product = new Product2();	//list of products to insert/update in system
                
                product.Replacement_Part__c = (Boolean) productMap.get('replacement');
                product.Cost__c = (Integer) productMap.get('cost');                
                product.Current_Inventory__c = (Integer) productMap.get('quantity');
                product.Lifespan_Months__c = (Integer) productMap.get('lifespan');
                product.Maintenance_Cycle__c = (Integer) productMap.get('maintenanceperiod');
                product.Warehouse_SKU__c = (String) productMap.get('sku');
                product.Name = (String) productMap.get('name');
                product.ProductCode = (String) productMap.get('_id');
                products.add(product);
            }
            
            if(products.size() > 0){	//only need to upsert if items actually exist
                System.debug(products);
                upsert products;
            }
        }
    }
}

According to some other strings I have found on this error (https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000kE7DIAU), this is what I've looked at and the current status of it:

• Field Level Security for Lifespan_Months__c field on Equipment (Product2) object: Visible for All profiles
• 
• Remote Site Settings: Added this URL as a Remote Site and confirmed it is active - https://th-superbadge-apex.herokuapp.com
• 
• Apex Jobs: Confirmed it is listed in Apex Jobs log and that it's listing as a "Future" job type and a "Completed" status.
• 
• Execution Log: Confirmed that it shows that 1 of 50 Future classes were executed.
• 
• SOQL Query: Confirmed that the job was placed into the system.
• 

Any assistance as to why I am not getting a complete on this task would be much appreciated!
