Zuora Release 2024.06.R1

E-Invoicing with Sovos generally available

E-Invoicing with Sovos is now generally available.

The Zuora E-Invoicing feature provides the extensibility and configurability to empower you to build country- and customer-specific integrations with Sovos E-Invoice solution including:

• Create e-invoice file templates to streamline integration for new countries
• Customize standard e-invoice file templates to meet specific customer requirements

We now support India, Italy, and Saudi Arabia as pre-integrated countries. Our E-Invoicing framework allows you to integrate with any new country by yourself. If you want to integrate with Sovos in these countries, please contact us. 

Support E-invoicing with Avalara

We now support our E-Invoicing integration with Avalara E-Invoicing and Live Reporting.

You can now configure Avalara as a service provider. For Avalara, we support countries that are part of the Peppol network and a few countries that are not part of Peppol but follow the country-specific invoice clearance process. We provide the following support to countries pre-integrated and not pre-integrated with us:

• Pre-integrated countries: We provide default invoice, credit memo, and debit memo e-invoice file templates to pre-integrated countries, including Australia and Mexico. 

• Countries not pre-integrated: We provide Peppol and Clearance processes for these countries, and you can select one of the processes. 

For more information, see E-invoicing with Avalara.

E-Invoicing enhancements for countries not pre-integrated

We enhanced business region configurations for countries that are not pre-integrated. After configuring a service provider, you can now select one of the following E-invoicing processes corresponding to the service provider in the Business Region section.

• Sovos:
  • Clearance Only
  • Clearance with Cancellation
• Avalara:
  • Clearance
  • PEPPOL Network

Index file control when exporting bulk PDF files

A new field, persistIndexFile, has been added to the Export bulk PDF files API request payload to control the generation of the index file. By default, the persistIndexFile field is set to true.

• When set to true, the index file is generated and included in the zip file.
• When set to false, the index file is not generated and consequently not included in the zip file.

This feature provides flexibility in managing document generation processes, facilitating efficient handling of high volumes of requests while ensuring scalability, performance, and ease of use.

PATCH HTTP method available for callout notifications

The PATCH HTTP method is now available for callout notifications.

For more information about all supported HTTP methods and callout notification configurations, see Configure callout notifications.

Enhancements on Manage Regions settings page

We have implemented the following enhancements to the Manage Regions settings page:

• Rename the page to "Manage Countries, Regions and States" from "Manage Regions" for a better understanding.
• Relocate the page to the Administration Settings page from Billing Settings. We make this change because managing countries and subregions applies not only to Billing but also to Payments, Platform, and other products.
