InvoiceSplitItem

An invoice split is one of multiple invoices that together formed one original invoice. Splitting a single invoice into multiple invoices lets you offer flexible payment schedules, especially when the original invoice balance is a large sum.

Splitting invoices lets a customer spread out payments for a single invoice across multiple invoices. For example, a customer has an invoice that totals $100,000. You agree to let the customer make four payments spread across multiple billing periods on the invoice. You can split that invoice into four separate invoices, each for a specific percentage of the original amount. These percentages can be any amount that you want to set, as long as the collection of split invoices total 100% of the original invoice. In this example, you can set the first split invoice to 40% ($40,000), then each successive split invoice to 30% ($30,000), 20% ($20,000), and 10% ($10,000).

Use the InvoiceSplitItem object to split an original Invoice object into multiple Invoice objects. Each InvoiceSplitItem object represents a single split invoice. In the example, if you split the original $100,000 invoice into four split invoices, each of those split invoices is an individual InvoiceSplitItem object, which in turn go inside a single InvoiceSplit object.

Use a create() call to create each InvoiceSplitItem object that you need to create multiple invoices from the original invoice. When you are finished creating individual InvoiceSplitItem objects, you use a create() call to collect them into an InvoiceSplit object, then use an execute() call with the InvoiceSplit object to split the original Invoice object into multiple new Invoice objects.

The Invoice must be in draft status before you can split the invoice into multiple invoices. You can't split a posted or canceled invoice.

WSDL version 43.0+ is required to use this object.

Additional Field Detail

Here's more information we think you might like to have about some of these fields. Use the Comments form at the bottom of this page if you have more questions.

Id

The ID of this object. Every object has a unique identifier that Zuora automatically assigns upon creation. You use this ID later when you work with the object. For example, if you send an amend() call to modify an existing subscription, then you need to include the specific Subscription object's ID with the call.

The ID for the InvoiceSplitItem object is InvoiceSplitItemId.

PaymentTerm

Indicates when the customer pays the split invoice. The field values are defined in the web-based UI on the Define Payment Terms page. Common payment terms are Due Upon Receipt and Net 60, but your specific values depend on your own configuration.
