Invoice Adjustments

An invoice adjustment modifies an existing invoice. You use an invoice adjustment to change the entire invoice. For example, you can apply a late fee to the invoice balance.

An invoice adjustment differs from an invoice item adjustment. An invoice item adjustment affects an individual charge or line item on an invoice. An invoice adjustment affects the invoice at the header-level.

Note: Invoice Adjustment is deprecated on Production in WSDL version 64.0. Zuora recommends that you use the Invoice Item Adjustment to adjust invoices. If you have the Invoice Settlement feature enabled, this object is deprecated and only available for backward compatibility.

CRUD: Create an invoice adjustment

Request

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 (').
