Run the Script to Migrate Quotes Data

Due to the quote object refactoring, the New Subscription quotes that were saved in previous versions of Zuora Quotes will not be accessible in this version. Execute the migration script that migrates the New Subscription quote data from the Quote Charge object to the Quote Rate Plan Charge object. You must run the script as a System Administrator.

This migration script will temporarily disable the Store Data in Quote Charge configuration setting while the script is running. You should not enable this setting while the migration script is running.  

  1. Disable any custom triggers or validations in your org.
  2. Open Developer Console.
  3. Navigate to Debug > Open Execute Anonymous Window.
  4. Enter the following Apex code in the Enter Apex Code window:
       zqu.ZuoraQuotesUpgradeConversion6_51 zuc =
          new zqu.ZuoraQuotesUpgradeConversion6_51();
       ID batchprocessid = Database.executeBatch(zuc);
  5. Click Execute.
  6. Navigate to Setup > Administration Setup > Monitoring > Apex Jobs and verify that the above job is running.
  7. Disabled customer triggers or validations can now be re-enabled.

The migration script is available in the 6.52 release of Zuora Quotes.

If all of the following conditions apply to a quote, the quote will not be migrated by the script:
1. A product, a rate plan, or a rate plan charge was removed from the Product Catalog in Zuora.
2. The Product Catalog was rebuilt in Zuora CPQ by a Sync Cleanup followed by a fresh Product Catalog Sync from Zuora.
3. The Quote and Quote Charges include the product, the rate plan, or the charge removed in Step #1.

Update the Quote Template 

To support the quote data model refactoring, the quote template was updated. Download the latest quote template from Zuora, and use it to replace the old template for New Subscription Quotes.

Configure New Zuora Config Settings

The following settings were introduced in this release. Configure these settings on the Zuora Config tab according to your organization's needs. 

Config Page Setting Field Description
Quote Configuration Settings Store Data in Quote Charge

Select this option if you need to use the deprecated Quote Charge object for reporting purpose.
When this option is selected, the data in Quote Rate Plan Charge will be copied to Quote Charge for New Subscription Quotes.

The setting only affects data created after this option is enabled, and it does not trigger any data migration.

  Apply Credit Balance Select to automatically apply any credit balance on a customer account to invoices.
Advanced Quoting Configuration Settings Maximum Rate Plans Added To Quote

The maximum number of rate plans can be added to Quotes in the Product Selector.

This setting is not applied to global methods.

If not specified, the maximum rate plans will default to 30.

Review Deprecated Zuora Config Settings

The following settings were deprecated in this release:

  • Enable Consolidated Charge-level Reports
  • Enable Amendment Functionality

When you did not want to support Amendments in Zuora Quotes, you used the Enable Amendment Functionality setting in Zuora Config. The setting was deprecated in this release.

Now to disallow users from creating quotes for Amendments:

  1. Navigate to Setup > Create > Objects.
  2. Click Quote Wizard Setup in the Custom Objects list.
  3. In the Custom Fields & Relationships section, click Subscription Type.

  5. Click Save.

Review for Time Zone Support

A number of dateTime type fields were changed to the Date type in the version 69 of Zuora WSDL. If you upgraded your WSDL version in the Zuora Connection Setting to 69 to take an advantage of Zuora time zone support and if you have made any customization in Zuora Quotes, you need to:

  • Review Date Field Changes in the SOAP API for the list of effected fields whose type was changed to Date from dateTime.
  • Update your code to reflect the type changes to avoid errors or date mismatching.
