You can use this data source to export all the transactions that impact your Accounts Receivable that happened during a period.

The ability to query and view all transactions will give you greater visibility and transparency into your financial interactions with subscribers.
The AR Transaction object will also enable you to track all your financial transactions in one data source export/report with the required filters and cross-object joins. This will simplify the reconciliation process, making it easier to query invoices, debit and credit memos, payments and identify discrepancies.
The new data source object will also simplify the compliance and reporting process for you, making it easier to generate reports of all transactions, saving time and effort during financial audits.

This feature is in the Early Adopter phase. We are actively soliciting feedback from a small set of early adopters before releasing it to all customers. To join this early adopter program, submit a request to Zuora Global Support.
This feature is only available if you have Invoice Settlement enabled. 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.
AR transaction creation is an asynchronous job. When AR impacting transactions are created in Zuora, the ARTransaction data source will be populated asynchronously. When such transactions are included in a Journal run, the Journal entry information is stamped against the existing AR transactions asynchronously.
To export journal information from AR Transaction, Zuora recommends timing the execution of the AR transaction export job after all desired transactions have been included in the ARTransaction data source to achieve the desired result.
