Feature Request: Pulling Change in MRR (Order MRR - DMRC) report shows zero amount for Remove a Product amendment. However, in Web UI, it displays a negative amount. It would be great if the numbers that is exposed on web UI will be available as well on Report (e.g. Data Source, Export, Reporting). Also, ability to remove the duplicates- have it on subscription level and not rate plan. Reference Number: DE9951 Business Need: pulling the report is really confusing. Web UI is really helpful but customer needs to have this report on a monthly basis so manually checking it on UI is very painful.

Feature Request: add the ability of the SubscribeOptions to support future dated subscriptions Reference Number: DE5894 Business Need: A customer has experienced several irregularities on the result of the SubscribeOptions. When we further checked, we verified that one of the accounts in question was created on 03/17/2011. Since it was created thru a subscribe(), the subscription was also created on 03/17/2011. However, the triggering dates of the subscription is set as 03/18/2011. The reason behind this is that the API Sandbox server is running 2 hours behind CST, hence the createdDate and contractAcceptanceDate were off by 2 hours and that explains why the invoice wasn't generated on demand but was later processed when the bill run came through. Currently, the design of the SubscribeOptions is that if it is not passed, it would default TRUE and would generate an invoice and process a payment on a subscribe(). However, it is not designed to support future dated triggering conditions of a subscription even if the options "GenerateInvoice" and "ProcessPayments" are passed as TRUE on the subscribe().

Status: Currently being reviewed by our Product Management Reference Number: PMT-1340 Business Need: The current tax reporting module produces a tax report which is large and unmanageable. In addition it does not show a simple bucket for the tax type (State / County / City) - each item has a different value. C ustomer require the ability to create the appropriate taxation report that shows SKU+ Tax Amount of State, County, City + Sold to (sold to if sub account) at Invoice line item as additional columns.

Our Invoice number format is INV{XXXXXXXX}. for e.g. 'INV00012790' . On every month end , we need to capture all revenue so far in the month esp. the usages sitting as ‰Û¡ÌÝÌápending processing‰Û¡ÌÝå» for the closing month. Zuora does not provide a running calculation of the amount due so far in the month without running the actual bill run. We currently are running a month end bill run to capture all revenue so far in the month ( as per Zuora's suggestion) . But we do not post this since the customer's bill cycle day is the day of their subscription activation and does not align with the month end. Hence we have to cancel the invoices that we generate at month end to capture the revenue of pending processing usage. We perform the above process for each account per month. In the process, we are using up the invoice numbering sequences quicker. Is there a way to capture the ‰Û¡ÌÝÌápending‰Û¡ÌÝå» revenue amount without having to perform a bill run/actually generating an invoice (kind of a running total till date for the current month if the billing period is monthly)? Or if bill runs are necessary, can Zuora re-use cancelled invoice numbers since they are not ‰Û¡ÌÝÌáposted‰Û¡ÌÝå»? What happens once the invoice number sequence value reaches the maximum value of the current pattern i.e. 'INV999999999'?

We did observe that when in data exports if we select rate plan charge data source and include amendment and rate plan columns too, the export only populates amendment and rate plan information of the most recent version of the subscription. This can be problematic especially when you are using aqua zoqlexport to ingest data into data warehouses. One of the potential solutions to this is to add Subscription Version Amendment table to the rate plan charge data source. Is this doable?
