Understand how to test the Avalara E-Invoicing and Live Reporting integration for Japan, focusing on mandate configuration, field mappings, document generation, validation behavior, and operational flows.

The Japan pre-integrated package is intended to provide country-specific templates, data mappings, validation support, and API-based submission and response handling through the Avalara integration. When preparing for go-live, verify that your Japan configuration is complete in both Avalara and Zuora before executing end-to-end tests.

Before testing, confirm the following in Avalara:

• the Japan company is activated
• the applicable Japan mandate/network setup is complete
• the seller registration and endpoint details are configured correctly
• the users and permissions required for testing are available.

Before testing, confirm the following in Zuora:

• a Japan business region is configured
• Avalara is selected as the service provider
• PEPPOL is configured as the e-invoicing process for Japan
• account e-invoicing profiles are complete
• sold-to contact data is complete
• test billing documents are in the correct status for submission
• the required billing document types are enabled.

For Japan, design your validation around the confirmed package scope:

• Mandate: PEPPOL
• Outbound format: UBL
• Supported process mapping: PEPPOL
• Supported download types: XML, PDF, UBL_XML.

During testing, verify that:

• Zuora-generated billing documents are accepted by Avalara for the Japan flow
• default or customized mappings produce the expected output structure
• Avalara validations behave as expected for valid and invalid data
• documents can be downloaded in all supported Japan formats
• resubmission, resync, regenerate, and download operations work as expected for operational handling.
