Invoice Template Settings

Invoice templates are used to generate customer-ready invoice documents in Zuora Quotes. When generating these invoice documents, fields in the invoice template are replaced with the actual data about the organization, customer, product, and subscription. 

This setting works in both legacy CPQ and CPQ X.

This article describes how to configure a Zuora invoice template in Zuora Quotes. You can assign an Invoice Template to a new Billing Account. When you send a New Subscription quote to Zuora, the new Billing Account created in Zuora will have the Invoice Template.

Here's an overview of the process:

  1. Create an invoice template by downloading the sample template document and customizing it in Microsoft Word.
  2. In Zuora, upload your finished template to Zuora and make a note of the template ID.
  3. In Zuora Quotes, configure your template using the ID of the template you uploaded to Zuora.
  4. In Zuora Quotes, add the Invoice Template field of the Quote object to the following field sets for the field to appear on the quote detail pages. The field sets are on the Quote object.
    • zqu__Account__Details
    • zqu__Amend_Edit_Account_Details
    • zqu__Amend_Quote_Customer_Account_Details
    • zqu__Renewal_Quote_Customer_Account_Details
