Why Is the autoPost Column Missing From the BILLINGRUN Table?

Question

Why is the autoPost column missing from the BILLINGRUN table when the API response includes it?

Environment

Connector: Zuora

Answer

The autoPost column is missing because of differences between Zuora’s SOAP and REST APIs and how we retrieve data.

Zuora’s BillRun object is part of the SOAP API. However, we use a REST-based describe call to determine which fields are available for the BILLINGRUN table. This describe call only recognizes fields from the REST API.

Because autoPost is a field specific to the SOAP BillRun object, it is not included in the results of our REST-based describe call. As a result, we don't include the autoPost column in the BILLINGRUN table.
