Recommended end-to-end test scenarios in Avalara for Germany
Use the following scenarios to validate the Germany pre-integrated package.
| Scenarios | Objective | Expected result |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice happy path | Validate that a standard Germany invoice created in Zuora is submitted successfully to Avalara and processed through the supported Peppol UBL flow. | The invoice is accepted by Avalara, the outbound document is generated in the expected format, and the result can be tracked operationally. |
| Credit memo and debit memo processing | Validate that the Germany templates for credit memos and debit memos work correctly in addition to invoice processing. | Credit memos and debit memos are submitted successfully with the same Germany pre-integrated process and can be monitored in Avalara. |
| Download validation | Validate that operational users can retrieve Germany e-invoice output files in the supported download types. | XML, PDF, and UBL_XML downloads are available as expected for the tested documents and can be consumed by downstream business processes. |
| Validation failure handling | Validate how Germany submissions behave when required source data is incomplete or intentionally invalid. | Avalara rejects the document with a traceable validation outcome, and your team can identify the source-data issue that must be corrected in Zuora before resubmission. |
| Data correction and resubmission | Validate the operational process for correcting failed Germany documents and resubmitting them through the integration. | After the Zuora source data is corrected, the revised document can be reprocessed successfully and the latest state is visible in Avalara. |
| Cancellation and known limitations | Understand how Germany-specific cancellation, reversal, or corrective-document scenarios are handled in your Avalara and Zuora operating model. | Your team documents the compliant handling pattern for Germany, including any limitations, manual steps, or runbook guidance needed for ongoing operations. |
Go-live recommendation
Before you move the Germany package to production, complete user acceptance testing for representative business flows and edge cases, and make sure your team has an operational runbook for document resubmission, download, regeneration, and exception handling.
