Invoice statuses

Invoices can have the following statuses, which are automatically synchronised with your billing provider:

  • Draft - A manual invoice that has been created by a user.
  • Processing - An invoice that has been created as part of an active billing period, which is incrementally being updated.
  • Pending Approval - An automatically generated invoice that is pending manual review prior to being finalized.
  • Scheduled - An invoice that is finalized, awaiting its issue date in order to be sent to the customer.
  • Issued - An invoice that has been sent to the customer.
  • Void - An invoice that has been issued but withdrawn.
  • Overdue - An invoice that has been issued, but not settled prior to the due date being passed.
  • Paid - An invoice for which the payment has been received.

Automatic invoicing

If you are continuously measuring your customers’ usage, Alguna handles the automatic creation of invoices on your behalf. When the billing period is complete, Alguna will generate the invoice and send it to your connected billing provider.

Manual approval

If you prefer to manually approve invoices before they are sent to your customers, or you are manually uploading events to Alguna using CSVs, you can disable automatic invoicing. Invoices will then be created in a draft state and you can approve them before they are sent to your customers. To approve an invoice, click the Approve button on the invoice page. If you wish to approve invoices in bulk, you can do so from the invoices list page.
