The Invoice Settlement feature is generally available as of Zuora Billing Release 296 (March 2021). This feature includes Unapplied Payments, Credit and Debit Memos, and Invoice Item Settlement. If you want to have access to the feature, see Invoice Settlement Enablement and Checklist Guide for more information. After Invoice Settlement is enabled, the Invoice Item Adjustment feature will be deprecated for your tenant.

The Invoice Item Settlement feature allows all the following settlement transactions at the item level:

  • Payments
  • Refunds
  • Credit memos

To apply the payments and refunds at the line-item level, you must have Invoice Item Settlement enabled. Invoice Item Settlement must be used together with other Invoice Settlement features (Unapplied Payments, and Credit and Debit memos). Invoice Item Settlement is available for Enterprise and Nine editions by default. If your Zuora edition is Growth, you must purchase this feature.

Invoice Item Settlement allows you to explicitly specify how payments and credit memos are applied at the item-level on invoices or debit memos. You can then track precisely how outstanding balances are settled for every billed item. Without this feature, payments and credits are applied only at the document header level and allocated automatically across items. In the case of partial payments or settlement by different types of transactions, the system uses this automated mechanism to settle item-level balances.
