Create a New Entity

An entity is a unit that has its own invoice numbering. After you add the custom fields in Zuora, you can add the picklist values as new entities in the app.

In the Entity Setup tab of the home page, click +New Entity and complete the configuration for the entity.

  • Entity - Enter the desired business unit as specified in the configuration of the custom field. For details about the custom field configuration, see Configure Settings for Enhanced Invoice Numbering.

  • Prefix - Specify the prefix for the selected entity. For example, UK.

  • Length - Specify the number of characters in the entity that will be displayed after the prefix.

  • Invoice Selection - Specify which invoices will receive the new numbering. 

    • Select All Invoices (recommended) to number all invoices.

    • Positive Invoices- Select to only number invoices with a balance equal to or greater than 0. Contact your Engagement Manager or Zuora Global Support for questions.

    • Negative Invoices - Select to only number invoice with a negative balance. Contact your Engagement Manager or Zuora Global Support for questions.

  • Next Number - Specify the first number of the sequence.

Click Create to create a new entity using the specified configuration.
