Amend

Request

Modifies a subscription by creating Amendment objects. However, to modify a subscription, Zuora recommends that you use the Create an order operation instead of this action.

The Amend action cannot modify the custom fields on the Subscription object. You can use the Create an order operation to modify the custom fields on the Subscription object. You can use this action to create up to 10 Amendment objects.

You must specify the following fields for each Amendment object:

  • ContractEffectiveDate
  • Name
  • SubscriptionId
  • Type

Additionally, the value of SubscriptionId must be the same for each Amendment object. You cannot use this operation to update multiple subscriptions. When you call this operation, Zuora modifies the subscription in the order that you specify Amendment objects in the request body. If Zuora is unable to create an Amendment object when you call this operation, the entire call fails.

Amendment Preview To view taxation item data for invoices and credit memos in the amendment preview response, you need to set the X-Zuora-WSDL-Version request header to 120 or later.

Query
rejectUnknownFieldsboolean

Specifies whether the call fails if the request body contains unknown fields. With rejectUnknownFields set to true, Zuora returns a 400 response if the request body contains unknown fields. The body of the 400 response is:

{
    "message": "Error - unrecognised fields"
}

By default, Zuora ignores unknown fields in the request body.

Default:false
Headers
Idempotency-Keystring, <= 255 characters

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.

Accept-Encodingstring

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.

Content-Encodingstring

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.

Authorizationstring

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

Zuora-Entity-Idsstring

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-Track-Idstring, <= 64 characters

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 (').

X-Zuora-WSDL-Versionstring

Zuora WSDL version number.

Default:79
Bodyapplication/jsonrequired
requestsArray of objects(AmendRequest)

The value of this field must be an array that contains a single AmendRequest object. To specify multiple Amendment objects, use the Amendments field of the AmendRequest object.

Example:
[ { "Amendments": [ … ] } ]
{ "requests": [ { … } ] }

Responses

Headers

  • text/html
  • text/csv
  • text/plain
RateLimit-Limitstring

The request limit quota for the time window closest to exhaustion. See rate limits for more information.

RateLimit-Remainingnumber

The number of requests remaining in the time window closest to quota exhaustion. See rate limits for more information.

RateLimit-Resetnumber

The number of seconds until the quota resets for the time window closest to quota exhaustion. See rate limits for more information.

Zuora-Request-Idstring, = 36 characters

The Zuora internal identifier of the API call. You cannot control the value of this header.

Zuora-Track-Idstring, <= 64 characters

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you specified a tracing identifier in the request headers, Zuora returns the same tracing identifier. Otherwise, Zuora does not set this header.
