Set the Invoice Owner for a New Subscription Quote

When you create a New Subscription quote, you can specify a different billing account as the invoice owner.  You can select any active, not cancelled billing account that is currently available in your Salesforce organization as the invoice owner. 

If the Invoice Owner field is set to a valid billing account, when the quote is sent to Zuora, the invoice owner of the new subscription will be set to the corresponding billing account in Zuora.

If the Invoice Owner field is set to a billing account that is no longer available in Zuora, the subscription creation will fail and will display an error message warning that the billing account no longer exists in Zuora.

Change the Invoice Owner for an Amendment Quote

When creating an Amendment quote, the Invoice Owner field defaults to the existing subscription invoice owner, but you can change the existing subscription invoice owner to a different billing account.  

If you select a different billing account as the subscription invoice owner when creating an Amendment quote, after the quote is sent to Zuora, an Owner Transfer amendment will be created to transfer the original subscription invoice owner to the new billing account. 

If you leave the Invoice Owner field empty, once the quote is sent to Zuora, an Owner Transfer amendment will be created to transfer the original subscription invoice owner to the subscription owner billing account.

If you create other types of amendments after the quote is sent to Zuora, the Owner Transfer amendment is always the first amendment created before Terms and Conditions, Renewal, New Product, Update Product, and Delete Product of amendments.

If you set Invoice Owner to a Billing Account that is no longer available in Zuora, the subscription creation will fail and will display an error message warning that the billing account no longer exists in Zuora.
