Starting from this release, when you create bill runs through the Zuora user interface, the following fields on the New Bill Run page and on the New Scheduled or Recurring Bill Run page have new default values.
These new default values can help reduce potential billing errors. Zuora recommends that you keep default values for the above-mentioned fields when creating bill runs.
The Billing user permission "Cancel Posted Invoices" is now called “Cancel Posted Billing Documents”. This permission now controls whether to unpost posted billing documents, including invoices, credit memos, and debit memos.
By default, you can unpost billing documents in Posted status through the Zuora user interface and API.
For more information, see Billing Permissions and Unpost Credit and Debit Memos.
The Usage Threshold Notifications feature in Limited Availability. If you wish to have access to the feature, submit a request at Zuora Global Support.
The Usage Threshold Notifications feature provides the capability to define notifications on usage consumption events in usage-based services. With this feature, you can use email and callout notifications to automate communications about usage consumption data.
You can now create a notification definition with a specified usage percentage threshold on included units. When the percentage of included units exceeds the specified threshold, a notification about the usage consumption status is triggered.
Currently, this feature is only specific to the Overage and Tiered with Overage charge models.
See Usage Threshold Notifications for more information.
The CyberSource, Payment API v2.0 integration now supports Apple Pay. You can create an Apple Pay payment method and process corresponding payments using your CyberSource v2.0 instance Previously, creating an Apple Pay payment method or processing an Apple Pay payment was only supported by the Chase Orbital payment gateway integration in Zuora.
The home page you see when you log in to the Zuora user interface has a new design to help you access key tasks. With the new home page, you can quickly start creating a new account or subscription, view your invoices or payments, and much more.
