Country-specific configurations in Avalara for India
Information on configuring e-invoicing for businesses in India, including integration with Avalara and Zuora.
India uses a clearance-based e-invoicing model for applicable B2B and B2G transactions. With the Avalara pre-integrated package, you can generate India-specific e-invoice files from Zuora using prebuilt templates, country-specific data mappings, automated validation, and API-based submission and response handling.
This topic describes the India-specific prerequisites and configuration considerations for using Avalara with Zuora E-Invoicing.
The India configuration uses the following Zuora components:
An Avalara e-invoicing service provider.
An India business region associated with the Avalara service provider.
Account e-invoicing profiles that route applicable accounts to the India business region.
Country-specific seller, buyer, tax, address, and document data used by the India templates.
Considerations
Maintain accurate seller and buyer tax identifiers, addresses, state information, document numbering, and other required reference data. Incorrect or incomplete data can cause validation or clearance failures.
India e-invoicing and e-way bill processing are separate capabilities. The Zuora E-Invoicing feature does not support India-specific e-way bills.
A posted billing document cannot be cancelled in Zuora and automatically cancelled with the service provider. If a posted invoice must be cancelled, follow the applicable tax-authority process. As a best practice, use Invoice Reversal to generate a credit memo and then reissue the invoice when appropriate.
