Invoicing and Invoice Settlement
Name Patterns Now Customizable for Files Generated for Billing Documents
You can now configure the name patterns for the files that are generated for billing documents through the Zuora UI. Billing documents include invoices, credit memos, and debit memos.
The Credit and Debit Memos feature is only available if you have the Invoice Settlement feature enabled. The Invoice Settlement feature is in Limited Availability. If you wish to have access to the feature, submit a request at Zuora Global Support.
With this feature, you can now reflect more detailed information in the names of the files that are generated for billing documents.
The default name patterns of the files generated for billing documents are now as follows:
-
For invoices: <Invoice.InvoiceNumber>_<
Account.AccountNumber>_< Invoice.InvoiceDate>
For example, the final file name isINV00000013_A00000005_
.05132019.doc -
For credit memos: <CreditMemo.MemoNumber>_<
Account.AccountNumber>_< CreditMemo.MemoDate>
For example, the final file name isCM00000004_A00000008_10092018.
.pdf -
For debit memos: <DebitMemo.MemoNumber>_<
Account.AccountNumber>_< DebitMemo.MemoDate>
For example, the final file name isDM00000005_A00000009_06092019.

Resolved: Referenced Billing Documents Could Not Be Deleted in Any Situations
Previously, billing documents that were referenced by any applications (for example, credit memo applications) could not be deleted in any situation.
This issue has been resolved. You can now delete billing documents referenced by any application, in any situations except that Zuora RevPro is enabled.
Payments
Adyen Integration v2.0 Now Supports Gateway Reconciliation
Adyen Integration v2.0 is now enhanced to support Gateway Reconciliation. You can configure the corresponding settings in the Adyen Integration v2.0 gateway configuration page to enable this feature.
See Adyen Integration v2.0 for more information.
Resolved: Transaction Status Mismatch in GMS Gateway Reconciliation Results
Previously, the ACH transaction status reported by the Gulf Management Systems (GMS) Gateway Reconciliation in Zuora does not always reflect the actual transaction status from the GMS gateway. It is because ACH transaction processing can take several days after the request has been submitted.
This issue has been resolved. GMS Gateway Reconciliation now checks the ACH payment and refund transactions created within the last 60 days on a daily basis. If the transaction status on the gateway side is changed, the status within Zuora is updated accordingly.
