Difficulty: HardEntitlements and Service Level Agreements

CloudKicks provides premium support governed by strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) managed through an active Entitlement Process. The customer operations manager requests an update to reduce the First Response Milestone time from 4 hours to 2 hours. The administrator must ensure that all newly created cases adhere to the updated 2-hour SLA target, while existing open cases currently assigned to the process maintain their original 4-hour milestone target until closure. Which administrative action fulfills this requirement without disrupting existing open cases?

  1. Create a new version of the Entitlement Process, adjust the First Response Milestone to 2 hours, and activate the new version.Answer
  2. B
    Edit the target time of the First Response Milestone directly within the currently active Entitlement Process from 4 hours to 2 hours.
  3. C
    Configure a Case Escalation Rule that fires at 2 hours to reassign newly created cases and override the active entitlement milestone.
  4. D
    Deactivate the existing Entitlement Process, build a replacement process with the 2-hour milestone, and execute a record-triggered Flow to re-parent existing cases.

Answer

Create a new version of the Entitlement Process, adjust the First Response Milestone to 2 hours, and activate the new version.
In Salesforce Entitlement Management, active Entitlement Processes are locked from direct milestone duration edits. Creating a new version of the Entitlement Process allows administrators to update milestone target times. Once activated, any new cases matching the entitlement criteria are assigned to the new version, while pre-existing cases continue running on their original process version.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirement for Entitlement Process modifications.
Milestone duration changes cannot be made directly on an active process, and existing open cases must maintain their current milestone timeline.
Salesforce Entitlement Management enforces process versioning to preserve SLA integrity for inflight records.
2
Determine the standard Salesforce mechanism for updating active Entitlement Processes.
The administrator must click 'Create New Version' on the active Entitlement Process detail page.
Creating a new version increments the version number while copying existing milestone structures.
3
Modify the target milestone duration and activate the new process version.
New cases will automatically evaluate against the new version with the 2-hour SLA, while open cases remain anchored to the original version.
Salesforce automatically assigns the latest active version of an Entitlement Process to newly created eligible cases.
