QUESTION: Subscription Product Charge is not syncing to Salesforce when tried multiple times for a particular product only and the Rate Plan is already existing in Salesforce. It also had the Product and Product Rate Plan existing in Salesforce. It failed with the error : INVALID_FIELD:Foreign key external ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found for field Zuora__External_Id__c in entity Zuora__Product__c SOLUTION : In this case, there was a custom field in Salesforce in the zuora__product__c object which was of picklist value Family__c and the picklist value Network Services was not there in Salesforce for that field. The Subscription Production Charge could not sync for that product because the Family field had the value Network Services which was not present in the Salesforce end. As a generic statement to be said when a field in the Product Object uses a picklist value that is not present in SFDC but in Zuora then they will fail to sync to Salesforce. Thus kindly check if the Picklist values are populated as the same in Zuora.

Question: A n amendment Quote to change the billing period of a charge Tier 2 Channel Fee - 30 Days Storage from Month to Quarter was created from SFDC and sent to Zuora. When previewing the Invoices the first invoice for 7/1/19 has the billing period as Month and service period for 7/1-7/15 and the 8/1/19 invoice has two entries for the particular charge, one for a service period of 7/16-7/31 and then 8/1-10/31. Why is the charge prorated and split between the two invoices? The first invoice should be 7/1-9/30. Answer : On checking the Preview of the Subscription mentioned in the request the explanation of the split between the invoices is as follows : The Charge Tier 2 Channel Fee - 30 Days Storage is amended from the billing period Month to Quarter on 7/16/2019. ( Start Date of the Amendment Quote ) As the settings for proration in the tenant is as follows : Due to the above settings : Tier 2 Channel Fee - 30 Days Storage is billed for the billing period Month from 07/01/2019 - 07/15/2019. Unit Price = 30.00 /Month Quantity =14 Subtotal = 420 * 15/31 = 203.23 Since the Change of the billing period as Quarter is effective from 07/16/2019it is billed as a separate invoice from 7/16/2019 - 7/31/2019 Unit Price = 30.00 /Month Quantity =14 Subtotal = 420 * 16/31 = 216.77 Once this is normalized it gets billed as per the Quarter. You can check this by previewing it till the End of Term.

Question: Customer had a scenario where a Renewal Quote in Production was showing a Subtotal Value of $60009.88 whereas he wanted it to display a sub-total of $ 60,000 [Unit Price: 7500; Quantity: 8 ]. He wanted to know how there is an extra value of $ 9.88. Solution : The tenant had the proration setting was for Actual Number of Days. Sub Total in simple context is the Amount without Tax. On checking the Existing Subscription of the Particular Renewal Quote in Zuora there were Two service periods that it was billed. First period : "ServiceStartDate": "2019-07-23", "ServiceEndDate": "2020-06-30", "ChargeAmount": 56393.44, The detailed calculation of Charge Amount is as follows : $60,000* ( 344 days) /( 366 days) = 56393.44 Please note we take 366 days because 2020 is a leap year. Second Period: "ServiceStartDate": "2019-07-01", "ServiceEndDate": "2019-07-22", "ChargeAmount": 3616.44, $60,000*(22days)/(365days)= 3616.44 This is between the year 2019 thus we consider 365 days. Thus the Subtotal ==> 56393.44 + 3616.44 = 60009.88 On setting Bill Cycle day to Default from the Customer Account there were able to get the value of $60,000 earlier Bill Cycle day was 1.

Zuora 360 Sync does not sync Bill to Contact Id and Sold to Contact Id to SFDC The following Article for Sync field mapping for Invoice Object is mentioned in the KC and there is no mapping for these two fields. Field Mapping The workaround for the request is to populate the Bill to Name (and Sold to Name ) in the Invoice Object. I have tested the following workaround in my Org and it has worked for me. The Workaround would be to create a FORMULA Field in the Invoice Object in Salesforce to get the values from Billing Account and just display those formula fields in the Invoice Page layout. Create the Formula Field with the below Formula and it should work. Kindly try the same for Sold to Name in the Invoice Object

Currently, It is not possible to sync the Amendment information to Salesforce as separate Amendment records. We don't have the option to include both the original subscription and amendments in SFDC. There is no Subscription Amendment object in Salesforce under Managed package How Subscription Amendment works: Generally, if we amend a subscription in Zuora and send it to SFDC via sync, it will delete the existing subscription and create the new version of subscription in SFDC. The Previous version of the subscription can only be seen in Zuora and not in SFDC as per design. Example: - The subscription version number is 4 in Zuora after amendment. - Performed a manual Account& Related objects sync from Zuora. - The subscription with Version # 3 got deleted and Version # 4 got created in SFDC. Subscription in Zuora : Subscription in Salesforce : And turning on the feature as mentioned in the article Use Single Subscription for Amendments will not meet the requirement as the enabling the below feature will work as functioned below Without this feature enabled, when you create an amendment and sync it to Salesforce, the original version of the subscription was deleted, and a new subscription with a new Salesforce ID was created in Salesforce. If this feature is enabled in your tenant, 360 Sync will upsert a Subscription using the Subscription Number field that has been added to Subscription object as an External ID.

Solution : Check the Profile permissions for the Field in the SFDC Org and if the Field does not have the Read/Edit access for Zuora to sync then it is not possible for Zuora to sync the field with Salesforce. In the below example the Exclusive field was not syncing with SFDC from Zuora. The Solution is to give the right Profile permissions for the profile for the Sync User of Zuora in Salesforce for the field in the SFDC Org. To give right profile permission please navigate as mentioned below in SFDC Org : Settings--> Manage UsersàProfile --> Sync User for Zuora--> Object Settings--> Object where the Field is present (E.g. Product Rate Plan) --> Enable Read/Edit access.
