About the Revenue Automation Start Date

The Revenue Automation Start Date is an important date and is a one-time setting that triggers managing revenue automatically using revenue rules that you have defined. 

When choosing the Revenue Automation Start Date, the following apply:

  • The date must be on the start date of an open accounting period.
  • The date cannot be changed once set.

Set this date only when you are ready. This is the date when revenue recognition begins working in Zuora. This date cannot be changed.

 

Zuora starts managing revenue automatically on transactions when the following conditions are met:

  • The transaction post or process action happens after the revenue automation start date is set.
  • The transaction for invoice or invoice item adjustment date is on or after the revenue automation start date.

Click your username at the top right and navigate to Finance Setting > Set Revenue Automation Start Date from the menu. Set the Revenue Automation Start Date, which must be the start of an accounting period.
