Usage and Rating
Changes to on-demand usage rating
Zuora now introduces a behavior change to on-demand usage rating for usage-based charges. If the charge through date of a usage charge is later than the target date of a bill run, the charge is not picked up for rating and billing in the bill run.
Invoicing and Invoice Settlement
Support for more company codes in Avalara integration and third-party tax connectors
Currently, you can use at most 40 company codes defined for integration between Zuora and Avalara and for integration with a third-party tax engine via tax connector apps. Previously, the limit was 20 on the maximum number of company codes.
Payments
Refreshing changes to the payment run details page
This feature is only available if you have the Invoice Settlement feature enabled. The Invoice Settlement feature is in Limited Availability. If you want to have access to the feature, submit a request at Zuora Global Support.
Zuora now introduces a behavior change to the payment run details page. If a payment run is in Completed status, a refreshing icon is now displayed in the Payment Run Summary area for you to reload summary information.
First Data Payeezy supports stored credentials transactions of American Express
The First Data Payeezy gateway integration has been enhanced to support the Stored Credential Transaction framework of American Express. For more information, see First Data Payeezy Gateway and Support for stored credential transactions overview.
Platform
Create custom object definition API can now filter out the system fields in the request schema
Previously, when you tried to use the response schema of the Get custom object definition operation as the request schema and made a Create custom object definition request, the call failed due to the presence of the system fields in the schema. These system fields will now be filtered out automatically and you can successfully create a custom object definition by using the Get custom object definition response schema as the request schema.
Filterable fields can now be changed through Update custom object definition API
Previously, you cannot change the filterable value of a custom field once the field is created. You can now change a filterable field to non-filterable and vice versa though Update custom object definition API.
