Manage non-subscription items and standalone orders

Learn how to manage non-subscription items and standalone orders

Note:

The Unified Invoicing feature is generally available as of Zuora Billing Release 313, November 2021. New customers will have the feature enabled by default. If you are an existing customer and want to access to the feature, submit a request at Zuora Global Support for Unified Invoicing.

With the Zuora Finance feature enabled, the Manage Non-Subscription Items and Standalone Orders setting is available on the Finance Settings page. You can use this finance setting to define the default accounting codes and revenue recognition rule for non-subscription items and standalone orders.

Creating non-subscription items and standalone orders can have an impact on your accounting process. To precisely group non-subscription items and standalone orders from the accounting perspective, you need to tailor accounting codes for non-subscription items and standalone orders so that they can be mapped to the correct accounts in your GL system. You can view, edit, and create accounting codes for accounting purposes through the Manage Chart of Accounts setting. See Manage Chart of Accounts for more information.

Note:

If you want to access the Standalone Orders feature, submit a request at Zuora Global Support.

When this setting is used

  • With the Zuora Finance feature enabled, the accounting code and revenue recognition rule are used in the following order for non-subscription items:
  1. The accounting code and revenue recognition rule configured in the product rate plan charge that is associated with the invoice.
  2. The accounting code and revenue recognition rule specified in the Create a standalone invoice API operation.
  3. The accounting code and revenue recognition rule configured in the Manage Non-Subscription Items and Standalone Orders setting.
  • With the Zuora Finance feature enabled, the accounting code and revenue recognition rule are used in the following order for standalone orders:
  1. The accounting code and revenue recognition rule specified in the Create a standalone order API operation.
  2. The accounting code and revenue recognition rule configured in the Manage Non-Subscription Items and Standalone Orders > Standalone Orders setting.
In other words, this setting allows you to configure the default accounting codes and revenue recognition rules. These default values take effect only if the accounting codes or revenue recognition rules are not specified in the Create a standalone invoice operation.

Next, refer to Configure accounting codes for non-subscription invoice items and standalone orders.
