POST /v1/operations/invoice-collect

Generates and posts invoices and credit memos and collects payments for posted invoices. Credit memos are only available if you have the Invoice Settlement feature enabled and negative charges exist. Credit memos will not be applied to invoices. If draft invoices and credit memos exist when you run this operation, this operation will post the invoices and credit memos. Note that draft credit memos created from an invoice or a product rate plan charge will not be posted.

You can use this operation to generate invoices and collect payments on the posted invoices, or else simply collect payment on a specified existing invoice. The customer's default payment method is used, and the full amount due is collected. The operation depends on the parameters you specify.

The operation is atomic; if any part is unsuccessful, the entire operation is rolled back.

When an error occurs, gateway reason codes and error messages are returned the error response of this operation. The following items are some gateway response code examples.

For more reason code information, see the corresponding payment gateway documentation.

Notes

Timeouts may occur when using this method on an account that has an extremely high number of subscriptions.

Servers

Request headers

Name Type Required Description
Content-Type String Yes The media type of the request body.

Default value: "application/json"

Content-Encoding String No

Include the Content-Encoding: gzip header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

Zuora-Track-Id String No

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (:), semicolon (;), double quote ("), and quote (').

zuora-version String No

The minor version of the Zuora REST API.

You need to set this parameter if you use the following fields:

  • documentDate
  • targetDate

If you have the Invoice Settlement feature enabled, you need to specify this parameter. Otherwise, an error is returned.

See Zuora REST API Versions for more information.

Authorization String No

The value is in the Bearer {token} format where {token} is a valid OAuth token generated by calling Create an OAuth token.

Idempotency-Key String No

Specify a unique idempotency key if you want to perform an idempotent POST or PATCH request. Do not use this header in other request types.

With this header specified, the Zuora server can identify subsequent retries of the same request using this value, which prevents the same operation from being performed multiple times by accident.

Zuora-Entity-Ids String No

An entity ID. If you have Zuora Multi-entity enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you do not need to set this header.

Zuora-Org-Ids String No

Comma separated IDs. If you have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you can use this header to specify which orgs to perform the operation in. If you do not have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you should not set this header.

The IDs must be a sub-set of the user's accessible orgs. If you specify an org that the user does not have access to, the operation fails.

If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user's accessible orgs.

Accept-Encoding String No

Include the Accept-Encoding: gzip header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response.

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a Content-Encoding header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

Request body fields

Name Type Required Description
paymentGateway String No

The name of the gateway that will be used for the payment. Must be a valid gateway name and the gateway must support the specific payment method. If a value is not specified, the default gateway on the Account will be used.

invoiceNumber String No

The number of an existing invoice for which to collect payment using the account's default payment method. If this value is specified, no new invoice is generated, and the following fields are ignored:

  • invoiceDate and invoiceTargetDate (if the Zuora REST API version is 214.0 or earlier)
  • documentDate and targetDate (if the Zuora REST API version is 215.0 or later available versions)
documentDate String No

The date that should appear on the invoice and credit memo being generated, in yyyy-mm-dd format. If this field is omitted and invoiceId is not specified, the current date is used by default.

Note: The credit memo is only available if you have the Invoice Settlement feature enabled.

This field is in Zuora REST API version control. Supported minor versions are 215.0 and later available versions. To use this field in the method, you must set the zuora-version parameter to the minor version number in the request header.

invoiceDate String No

Note: This field has been replaced by the documentDate field in Zuora REST API version 215.0 and later available versions. The invoiceDate field is only available for backward compatibility.

The date that should appear on the invoice being generated, in yyyy-mm-dd format. If this field is omitted and invoiceId is not specified, the current date is used by default.

This field is in Zuora REST API version control. Supported minor versions are 214.0 and earlier available versions.

accountKey String Yes
