Launch on production environment

You need to collaborate with Sovos to set up the Sovos production environment. To launch on the Sovos production environment, complete the following tasks.

1. Create Sovos developer accounts at the Sovos Developer Hub, and generate the API key and secret. For more information, see the Getting Started section of the Sovos developer guide. You will use the API key and secret when configuring Sovos as a service provider in Zuora. For more information, see Configure e-invoicing service providers.
2. Read Sovos country prerequisites and complete the corresponding prerequisite tasks before using Sovos production environments. For more information, see the Country Prerequisites section of the Sovos developer guide. 
   • For some countries, you may need to register with the country's tax authority and get the necessary credentials. You need to configure these credentials in Sovos, and Sovos will use the credentials to submit data to the country's tax authority. 
   • You will use the certificate you get from Sovos when configuring Sovos as a service provider in Zuora. For more information, see Configure e-invoicing service providers.

3. Configure e-invoicing in Sovos for a specific country. For this, you must create a company profile in Sovos.

   After obtaining credentials from Sovos and retrieving your organization ID from Sovos, you can call a dedicated configuration endpoint to create a company and assign a product. For more information, see Country Configurations section of the Sovos developer guide.

4. Configure Zuora E-Invoicing feature.
5. Get the SenderSystemId for the Sovos production environment from Sovos, copy the e-invoice file template you verified in the Zuora sandbox environment, and modify the value of the SenderSystemId field to match the Sovos production environment. For more information, see Create and test e-invoice file templates.
6. Configure field mapping. For more information, see Configure e-invoicing response field mappings.
