Stuck on Challenge Module 2: Create an approval process that validates when a Prospect Account becomes a Customer.

The challenge as follows:

For purposes of local regulation new customers must be approved by the legal team.

When an Account has the value of 'Prospect' in the Type field, a user will click the 'Submit for Approval' button to launch an approval process. The process will only happen if Type is 'Prospect' and there are more than 500 employees. Upon entry of the process, Type will become 'Pending' and be locked. If approved, Type will be set to 'Customer' and be unlocked. If not approved, Type will be set back to 'Prospect' and will be unlocked.

The Account object's Type field must have the following picklist values: Prospect, Customer, Pending. Before creating the approval process, verify the values in your Account object setup
The approval process name must be 'Approve New Account'.
When user click 'Submit for Approval', the approval must be processed if the Type field is set to 'Prospect' and the value of Employees is greater than 500.
Upon entering the approval process, set the Type field to 'Pending' and lock the record.
Normally the approver would be someone else. In this instance, assign yourself to be the approver.
If approved, set the Type field to 'Customer' and unlock the record.
If not approved, set the Type field back to 'Prospect', and unlock the record.

I am getting error message: Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
There was an unexpected error in your org which is preventing this assessment check from completing: System.DmlException: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, missing required field: [nextApproverIds]: [nextApproverIds]

This are the steps I did:

Created approval process called Approve New Account
Criteria Account Type field equals Prospect and Account Employees field greater than 500
Final Approval Actions - Update Type field to Customer
Final Rejection Actions - Update Type field to Prospect

What am I missing that I received the error message?  Please help.

Thanks.

Hey Kishan,
 Actually i have added those picklist values by creating a new custom filed in account object.Is this a wrong way to add picklist values??
Here is the screen shot.User-added image
Kishan MalepuKishan Malepu
Hi Asish,

Yes..I think problem with your pick list Instead of creating new pick list you can use existing picklist "Type" , add the pick list values for that field.
Check your approval aproval process..which you are calling   is it "Type" or "Approval Status".Its bettes to call vanila field "Type"Please refer my previous post screen shot for approval process and pick list.Please let me know if its works for you.

Thanks & Regards,
Kishan

This worked for me:

I had created a custom field  Type__c which was giving this error. I have deleted this field and added the values i.e Prospect,Customer and Pending to Standard Account:Type picklist and modified all the approval sub process which were using my custom field to Standard Account:Type.

Adding values to Standard Account:Type picklist

Hi @Mohammad Abid Majgaonkar & @Jarvis, not sure if you have solved it yet but i did had this problem too.
My error was that i created a new custom object "Account_Type". I went to Setup > Account > Field and added the neccesary. ( prospect, peding & customer).
The right way was that to not create a new custom object. Go to Setup > account > field select "Type" ( which is the third last field in this screenshot) and click on it and add the relevant names. :) Hope it helps!User-added image

Hi
To all those who faced this error,

System.DmlException: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: NO_APPLICABLE_PROCESS, No applicable approval process was found.

Initally i created a new custom object for "Account_Type" which was totally wrong. We do not need to create any new custom object. just head over to account > field and there will be "Type" field available to edit from there.

Since i had created "Account_type" earlier, in my process my field was "account: account_type" the right one is in my screenshot.

In the Initial Submission Actions, click Add New, then Field Update (repeat this process three times, one for Prospect, one for Customer, and one for Pending)
You need those fields for the, Approval Steps.....click on Show Actions then, on the gree dot where it reads Approval Actions, click on Add Existing, then on Select Existing Action, click the dropdown menu click on Field Update on the Available actions choose Field Update: Customers and Add.
Repeat the process for the red dot where it reads Rejection Actions and at the end choose Field Update: Prospect.

To successfully complete and verify the challenge, the testcase needs to run first. The org has Validation Rules created on the Account and Contact Object that are causing error.
