Recommended end-to-end test scenarios in Avalara for Sweden
These scenarios are designed to be executed and verified primarily from the Avalara side, with Zuora providing the source data for Sweden-specific PEPPOL processing.
Scenario 1: Standard B2B invoice e-invoicing flow
Objective: Confirm that a posted B2B invoice in Zuora results in a valid Sweden PEPPOL UBL e-invoice in Avalara.
High-level steps:
In Zuora, generate and post an invoice for a Sweden customer whose account, contact, and e-invoicing profile meet all Sweden prerequisites.
Trigger e-invoicing in Zuora so that the invoice is submitted to Avalara through the PEPPOL process.
In Avalara, locate the transaction for the Sweden company and verify the generated UBL document and validation results.
Download the resulting document in the available Sweden formats and verify that the seller and buyer identifiers are populated as expected.
Expected results: Avalara accepts the invoice without blocking validation errors, and the PEPPOL UBL payload contains the expected Sweden identifiers and mapped billing data.
Scenario 2: Credit Memo referencing an invoice
Objective: Verify that Avalara correctly validates and processes a Sweden credit memo that references an existing invoice.
High-level steps:
Create and post a credit memo in Zuora that references a previously posted invoice for the same Sweden trading relationship.
Trigger e-invoicing for the credit memo.
In Avalara, confirm that a new PEPPOL UBL document is created and that the reference to the original billing document is retained according to the template design.
Expected results: Avalara recognizes the credit memo as an adjustment document and processes it successfully using the Sweden PEPPOL UBL package.
Scenario 3: Debit Memo e-invoicing
Objective: Validate Avalara handling of Sweden debit memos for additional charges after the original invoice.
High-level steps:
Create and post a debit memo for a Sweden account configured for e-invoicing.
Trigger e-invoicing and verify that Avalara creates a new Sweden PEPPOL UBL document for the debit memo.
Review the resulting document, validations, and downloadable formats.
Expected results: Avalara successfully ingests and validates the debit memo as part of the Sweden PEPPOL flow.
Scenario 4: Validation failures and data quality checks
Objective: Use Avalara validation outcomes to identify and fix Sweden-specific data or mapping issues before production.
Suggested negative test variations:
The Sweden organization number is missing or invalid in seller or buyer configuration.
The VAT number is missing or inconsistent with the Avalara Sweden activation setup.
The E-Invoice Destination Code or E-Invoice Destination Code Schema Id is missing or invalid.
The billing document is not in Posted status when e-invoicing is triggered.
Expected results: Avalara clearly identifies which mapped fields cause validation failures so that you can correct the data in Zuora and resubmit the document.
Scenario 5: Resubmission, resync, and regeneration
Objective: Confirm that corrected Sweden transactions can be reprocessed successfully after validation issues are fixed.
High-level steps:
Intentionally trigger a validation failure using incomplete or incorrect Sweden identifier data.
Correct the data in Zuora and resubmit the billing document.
Verify in Avalara that the corrected document is available and that the latest status is reflected consistently.
Expected results: Your team has a repeatable operational pattern for correcting, resubmitting, and reconciling Sweden e-invoice transactions between Zuora and Avalara.
Scenario 6: Cancellation and known limitations
Objective: Understand how cancellation or reversal scenarios should be handled for Sweden and document any operational constraints.
High-level steps:
Test the business reversal flows that are relevant to your implementation, such as crediting or otherwise correcting previously submitted billing documents.
Observe how corrective documents are represented in Avalara for the Sweden package.
Document any manual handling or operational guidance required for your production runbook.
Expected results: You have a documented approach for handling corrections and operational exceptions for Sweden in your Avalara and Zuora setup.
