Before sending electronic billing documents to the Avalara sandbox environment, you must create e-invoice file templates in Zuora for Invoice, Credit Memo, and Debit Memo.

When a billing document is posted for a customer from a country that supports Avalara E-Invoicing, Zuora generates an Avalara-compliant electronic billing document based on the e-invoice file template and then submits the electronic billing document to Avalara.

For more information about Avalara's file format regulations, see E-Invoicing mandate definitions in Avalara's documents. On this page, you can view lists of required, conditional, and optional tags of each country mandate, along with the path and description of each tag.

The procedure for creating an e-invoice file template varies depending on whether or not it is for a pre-integrated country.
