When running a report in Zuora Reporting tool, the InvoiceItem.UnitPrice and InvoiceItem.ChargeAmount field values are rounded to currency value.    The Data Source Export, ZOQL Query, and Data Query does provide unrounded values for those fields.    However, some  non-technical users do not have access to ZOQL Query or Data Query, therefore, this is the request to enhance the reporting tool to provide unrounded values.    The feature enhancement request is currently tracked by ANA-6898.  ...

We have a lot of accounts billed for other account subscriptions. When running a subscription data export, we can only get Invoice Owner ID, and have to do a seperate account data source report to VLOOKUP the account name and number in. Is there a way of including account name and number in the subscription data source, along with the  ... View more

This goes hand-in-hand with the ability to run a report without saving, but the preview often slows down the reporting tool making it a slow process to edit fields and filters. Being able to quickly edit a report and run it without saving to see the outcomes would be more efficient.  ... View more

We would like the ability to run a Notification History (both Email and Callout) report of Z-Reporting.  We need this to check to make sure all invoices have been sent for a certain period.  The only way to do this is via a REST API (http://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/BC_Developers/REST_API/B_REST_API_reference/Notification_History/Get_Email_Notification_Histories). As an accountant, I have no idea how to use API's so it would be great to be able to run reports on this. ... View more

Currently when payment runs are completed you are shown the number of and amount of unprocessed payments.  I would like a report that showed me what invoices those were or what accounts those belong to.  That would help me to see what is going on with those accounts and why payments are not processing.   Thank you! ...

Business needs:  Customer Z   thinks we have a design gap for excluding discount on CMRR computation which is an issue for them. They used to issue discounts as negative valued Products in the past and they had no problems with CMRR because the discounts was another "Product" with negative $. So when we rolled out discounts as part of the Product, it looked much cleaner and they switched. However, they now discovered this problem and they use the CMRR for a lot of reporting downstream. Reference Number:  DE9669 Proposed solution: include Discount charge on CMRR computation ... View more

Currently the Order MRR and Order Quantity objects do not exist together in any report type, you have to run both those report types singularly and then export to Excel and do a Vlookup to get the data in one table, which is a huge pain.   We have business cases where we often want to look at these together - for example we want to know not only that someone downgrades $100 in MRR but also see that the downgrade was for 2 units. We report on both units gained/lost as well as revenue gained/lost and in pretty much all of our reporting need these two things together.   Seems like it would be easy for you to pull these into one report type as the data is all there already, you just need a report that includes both objects. ...

Background We're a freemium SaaS business. Our business model offers a free version of our product with restrictions on performance, and our users can upgrade to one of four plans for more performance. We find that our customers regularly switch between higher and lower priced plans, sometimes more than once per month. What do we need? Basic SaaS reporting:  Committed Monthly Recurring Revenue (or Net MRR) New MRR MRR Churn Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) (forecast) Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA) (incl. free) Average Revenue Per Paying User (ARPPU) Delta invoiced minus paid amounts (failed payments) Payment fees & refunds There are lots of canned reports in Zuora, which strangely almost all do not apply to us. Unfortunately, after being in contact with Zuora Support several times it turns out that most of this reporting is currently hard or impossible to do. Which is surprising, as we operate on a proven business model, so I'm sure we're not the only service out there using Zuora for (freemium) SaaS reporting. Proposal We propose to implement the following: Saas (freemium) reports, as listed above, out of the box A place in documentation for best practices from other (freemium) SaaS businesses using Zuora   Could Product Management please comment on this ASAP? We're blocked on doing decent tracking for our business until this is resolved.

It is not currently possible to join data from the Rate Plan Charge Tier table (where unit prices live) with date from the Account table (where human-readable account data lives) in the reporting tool. The closest approximation I can find is between Subscription.CreatorInvoiceOwnerID and Account.ID.   Are there plans to add the relationship between Rate Plan Charge Tier and Account in the reporting tool? This was discussed in the Reporting User Group at https://community.zuora.com/t5/Reporting-User-Group/Linking-the-Rate-Plan-Charge-to-the-Rate-Plan-Charge-Tier/gpm-p/13279#M121. ... View more

Hey guys,   we would appreciate it very much if Zuora gets the ability to run reports on the attached files in subscriptions or other database objects.   Would be very helpful in analyzing for ex. all subscription without any attached contract or all accounts without a valid SEPA direct debit mandate or something else.   The only way to filter it out at the moment is to create a custom field and enter it manually there for all objects. This is very impracticable in the daily business and not a really good solution for everyone.   We would also appreciate it if Zuora gets more logic into the custom fields, like formulas or rollups, like in Salesforce for ex.   Best regards, Matthias ...
