Configure accounting codes for non-subscription invoice items and standalone orders

Steps for configuring accounting codes for non-subscription invoice items and standalone orders

Before you start configuring the accounting codes for non-subscription items and Standalone Orders, ensure that:

  • You have set up at least one revenue recognition rule in the Manage Revenue Recognition Rules setting. See Manage Revenue Recognition Rules for more information.
  • The accounting codes for non-subscription invoice items have been created. Check the existing accounting codes in the Manage Chart of Accounts setting.

Take the following steps to configure the default accounting codes and revenue recognition rules for non-subscription invoice items:

  1. Navigate to Finance Settings > Manage Non-Subscription Items and Standalone Orders in your Zuora tenant.
  2. Click on the Non-Subscription Items or Standalone Orders tab to configure the default accounting codes and revenue recognition rules.
    Note:

    Non-Subscription Items and Standalone Orders must be configured in their respective tabs to save their settings.

  3. Select a rule from the Revenue Recognition Rule dropdown list. The revenue recognition rules displayed in the dropdown list are the rules defined in the Manage Revenue Recognition Rules setting.
  4. Define how journal entries will be created when the invoice is posted and the revenue is recognized, which are similar to the Finance configuration of a product rate plan charge.
    1. In the Invoice Posted table, select the accounting codes in the Credit entry for Deferred Revenue and Sales Tax Payable, respectively. Note that the accounting code for Sales Tax Payable are used only if the tax code is not specified in Zuora.
    2. Select the respective accounting codes in the debit entry for Accounts Receivable . Note that this field cannot be blank and is enabled for IIS tenants.
    3. In the Revenue Recognized table, select the accounting code in the Credit entry for Recognized Revenue.
  5. Click Save to save the configuration.

    Billing - Revenue Integration

    .

    When accounting codes are missing on the billing documents (invoice, invoice item adjustment, credit memo, debit memo) integrated to Zuora Revenue, Zuora Revenue cannot generate correct accounting entries.

    Use this section to set default accounting codes for each account type. The system will use these default values for integration when any document line items do not have accounting codes. For example, when you create a standalone invoice from a new charge, these default values will be automatically populated in the Revenue area on the Zuora UI.

    Note: To save the Manage Non-Subscription Items, you must select the Revenue Accounts even if you have selected Yes in Allow blank Accounting Codes rule in
