Country-specific settings configuration

You might need to configure country-specific settings if you want to e-invoice your customers in particular countries. For example, specifying specific business information on business regions or creating custom fields on standard objects.

For more information, see Manage country-specific configurations .

E-invoicing profile configuration for customer accounts

You have the flexibility to enable e-invoicing for customers based on the regulatory requirements of countries. For example, you can enable e-invoicing only for business customers or customers from particular countries.

When enabling e-invoicing for a customer who acts as a buyer, you must collect the business profile of the customer and configure the e-invoicing profile during the customer account creation or modification. For more information about supported profile settings, see E-invoicing profile settings for accounts .

Make sure that the Business Category of an account in your tenant complies with the country mandate configuration in Avalara. For example, Zuora follows the AU-B2B-PEPPOL mandate when submitting a billing document for Australian accounts with the Business Category configured to B2B. However, if you have not configured the B2B mandate for Australia in Avalara, the e-invoicing transaction will fail. For more information about how to configure country mandates in Avalara, see Configure Avalara sandbox environment .

To configure the e-invoicing profile for a customer account in Zuora UI, see Configure e-invoicing profiles for accounts through the Zuora UI .

Alternatively, you can use the Create an account or Update an account API operation.

Creation of subscriptions and invoices

For testing purposes, you must create subscriptions and invoices with taxation information.

To create a subscription, see Create subscriptions .

When subscriptions are created, you can create bill runs to generate invoices. For more information, see Create bill runs .
