Execute an invoice schedule

View as Markdown

Executes an invoice schedule immediately. During the execution, a bill run is created and generates an invoice or a credit memo asynchronously.

When you use this API operation to execute an invoice schedule item, you have the flexibility to decide whether to specify a specific item ID.

  • If you specify the unique ID of an invoice schedule item to be executed in the request, the corresponding invoice schedule item is executed.
  • If you do not specify the ID of any invoice schedule item in the request, the subscription end date is used as the target date to determine the next pending schedule item to be executed.

A paused invoice schedule and charges inside cannot be automatically executed by Zuora Scheduler or by this “Execute an invoice schedule” API operation. In this case, you can do one of the following:

For more samples, see Execute invoice schedules.

Note: This operation is available only if you have the Billing Schedule feature enabled.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer

Use Bearer {{token}} in the Authorization header for authentication.

Path parameters

scheduleKeystringRequired

The unique ID or number of the schedule to be executed. For example, 2c92c8955bd63cc1015bd7c151af02ab or IS-0000001.

Headers

Idempotency-KeystringOptional<=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-EncodingstringOptional

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-EncodingstringOptional

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-IdstringOptional<=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-IdsstringOptional

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 should not set this header.

Zuora-Org-IdsstringOptional

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. This header is important in Multi-Org (MO) setups because it defines the organization context under which the API should operate—mainly used for read access or data visibility filtering. If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user’s accessible orgs.

Zuora-VersionstringOptional

The minor API version.

For a list of available minor versions, see API upgrades.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
scheduleItemIdstringOptional
The ID of the invoice schedule item to be executed. The item must be the earliest pending schedule item. If all the invoice schedule items have been processed and credit is needed to be generated, do not specify this field in the request.

Response headers

Content-EncodingstringOptional

This header is returned if you specify the Accept-Encoding: gzip request header and the response contains over 1000 bytes of data.

Note that only the following MIME types support gzipped responses:

  • application/json
  • application/xml
  • text/html
  • text/csv
  • text/plain
RateLimit-LimitstringOptional

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

RateLimit-Remainingdouble

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

RateLimit-Resetdouble

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

Zuora-Request-IdstringOptional
The Zuora internal identifier of the API call. You cannot control the value of this header.
Zuora-Track-IdstringOptional
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.
Concurrency-Limit-TypestringOptional

The type of the concurrency limit, which can be Default, High-volume transactions, or Object Query.

For more information, see Concurrent request limits.

Concurrency-Limit-Limitinteger

The total number of the permitted concurrent requests.

For more information, see Concurrent request limits.

Concurrency-Limit-Remaininginteger

The remaining number of the permitted concurrent requests.

For more information, see Concurrent request limits.
