Create a revenue schedule...

Create a revenue schedule for an invoice item (distribute by date range)

Request

Creates a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item and distribute the revenue by specifying the recognition start and end dates.

Path
invoice-item-idstringrequired

ID of the Invoice Item, for example, e20b07fd416dcfcf0141c81164fd0a75. If the specified Invoice Item is already associated with a revenue schedule, the call will fail.

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-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 (').

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.

Bodyapplication/jsonrequired
distributionTypestring

How you want to distribute the revenue.

  • Daily Distribution: Distributes revenue evenly across each day between the recognitionStart and recognitionEnd dates.
  • Monthly Distribution (Back Load): Back loads the revenue so you distribute the monthly amount in the partial month in the end only.
  • Monthly Distribution (Front Load): Front loads the revenue so you distribute the monthly amount in the partial month in the beginning only.
  • Monthly Distribution (Proration by Days): Splits the revenue amount between the two partial months.

Note: To use any of the Monthly Distribution options, you must have the "Monthly recognition over time" model enabled in Settings > Finance > Manage Revenue Recognition Models in the Zuora UI.

Enum:"Daily Distribution""Monthly Distribution (Back Load)""Monthly Distribution (Front Load)""Monthly Distribution (Proration by Days)"
Example:"Daily distribution"
notesstring

Additional information about this record.

Example:"Manually distribute revenue by usage"
recognitionEndstring, (date)required

The end date of a recognition period in yyyy-mm-dd format.

The maximum difference between the recognitionStart and recognitionEnd date fields is equal to 250 multiplied by the length of an accounting period.

Example:"2016-12-31"
recognitionStartstring, (date)required

The start date of a recognition period in yyyy-mm-dd format.

If there is a closed accounting period between the recognitionStart and recognitionEnd dates, the revenue that would be placed in the closed accounting period is instead placed in the next open accounting period.

Example:"2016-12-1"
revenueEventobject(RevenueEvent)required

Must specify at least one of eventType or eventTypeSystemId.

Example:
{
  "eventType": "Revenue Distributed",
  "eventTypeSystemId": "RevenueDistributed__z",
  "notes": ""
}
property name*anyadditional property

Custom fields of the Revenue Schedule object. The name of each custom field has the form customField__c. Custom field names are case sensitive. See Manage Custom Fields for more information.
