Recommended end-to-end test scenarios in Avalara for Ireland
Use the following end-to-end scenarios to validate your Ireland setup in a realistic way.
Scenario 1: Standard invoice submission
Objective: Verify that a posted invoice in Zuora is transformed into a valid Ireland Peppol UBL e-invoice and accepted by Avalara.
High-level steps:
Create a test account configured for Ireland e-invoicing.
Post an invoice in Zuora using the Irish business region.
Trigger e-invoicing and submit the invoice to Avalara.
Confirm that Avalara processes the invoice and returns the expected status and downloadable outputs.
Expected result: The invoice is generated successfully and is available in the expected Ireland output formats.
Scenario 2: Credit memo submission
Objective: Verify that a credit memo is generated and submitted correctly using the Ireland default mappings.
High-level steps:
Create and post a credit memo in Zuora for an Irish customer.
Trigger e-invoicing for the credit memo.
Review the generated output and Avalara response.
Expected result: Avalara processes the credit memo successfully and the result is stored in Zuora.
Scenario 3: Debit memo submission
Objective: Verify that debit memos are supported correctly for Ireland as part of the pre-integrated package.
High-level steps:
Create and post a debit memo in Zuora.
Trigger e-invoicing for the debit memo.
Validate the output, response, and download behavior in Avalara and Zuora.
Expected result: The debit memo is processed successfully and can be tracked through the normal e-invoicing lifecycle.
Scenario 4: Validation failure and correction
Objective: Verify operational handling when a required field is missing or invalid.
High-level steps:
Submit a document with incomplete seller, buyer, or endpoint data.
Confirm that Avalara returns an error or failed status.
Correct the data in Zuora.
Regenerate and resubmit the e-invoice.
Expected result: The corrected document is processed successfully, and the updated status is reflected in Zuora.
Scenario 5: Resync and download operations
Objective: Verify operational behavior after submission, including asynchronous status updates and file retrieval.
High-level steps:
Submit one or more Irish e-invoices through Avalara.
Run status checks after processing.
Download the resulting outputs in the formats configured for Ireland.
Expected result: Status resync works as expected and all required file outputs can be retrieved successfully.
- This draft follows the same topic pattern as the Australia content set: overview, configuration, field mapping, testing recommendations, and end-to-end scenarios.
- Where Ireland-specific operational details are not explicitly defined in the Jira epic, this draft keeps the guidance customer-facing and aligned with the generic Avalara pre-integration framework used for the top 20 country rollout.
