# Partner Payments Invoices Explained for Brands

<a href="https://pxa.impact.com/student/activity/1117596-contract-pay-impact-com-product-training-expert?utm_source=help.impact.com&#x26;utm_medium=owned-platform&#x26;utm_content=con-350&#x26;utm_campaign=help-center" class="button primary">Take the PXA course</a>

impact.com generates partner invoices on the 2nd of each month, unless you choose to configure [custom payout scheduling](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-documents/custom-gaap-month-scenarios.md). All partner invoices must be settled timeously to keep your account in good standing. For guidance on the best funding strategy for your program, see our [Guide to Funding Strategies for Brands](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/add-funds-to-your-funding-account/guide-to-funding-strategies-for-brands.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
**Note:** impact.com typically generates partner invoices once per billing period, but if the transactions involved have different payment due dates, you may see more than one invoice for a single partner in a given billing cycle.

Your [*Statement of Invoices* (SOI)](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/add-funds-to-your-funding-account/understand-the-soi-and-prf-documents.md) consolidates all the partner invoices generated across your account per billing period (monthly in most cases).

## Download a specific partner invoice

A *Partner Invoice* details the funds due to an individual partner for a billing period (monthly in most cases).

1. From the top navigation bar, select **your balance → Documents →** [**Partner payments invoices**](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/finance/fr/partner-invoices.ihtml?u=%2Fsecure%2Ffinance%2Fapp%2Flist-adv-invoices-flow.ihtml).
2. On the *Partner Invoice Summary* screen, under the *Invoices* column, select the **Number**.

### Understand an invoice's due date

Once downloaded, an invoice will show 1 of 3 values in the *Due date* field:

<table><thead><tr><th width="215.10546875">Due date value</th><th>What this means</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><em>(The actual due date)</em></td><td>This is the date by which the invoice must be settled if your contract terms with your partner align with your <a href="/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/add-funds-to-your-funding-account/guide-to-funding-strategies-for-brands.md">funding strategy</a>.</td></tr><tr><td><em>Various</em></td><td>There's more than 1 due date for the actions aggregated on this invoice. Refer either to individual invoices for the specific due dates or the action details to see when you must pay your partner for which action.</td></tr><tr><td><em>Due upon receipt</em></td><td>If you download your Statement of Invoices (SOI), it always displays <em>Due Upon Receipt</em> as a standard default. To find the exact due dates for specific charges, view individual invoices or check your payment schedule.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Understand an invoice's VAT code

If you are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT), at least one of the following VAT codes is likely to appear on your partner invoices. If you are a European-based brand, learn [when VAT is charged](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-documents/indirect-tax-explained-for-brands.md).

<table><thead><tr><th width="149.8984375">VAT Code</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>T0</td><td>The transaction was zero-rated. No VAT payment is due.</td></tr><tr><td>T1</td><td>The transaction has a standard rate. The standard VAT levy is applied to the transaction.</td></tr><tr><td>T4</td><td>You provided goods or services in the <a href="https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/country-profiles_en">European Union (EU)</a>. VAT's reverse charge mechanism will shift the obligation of paying the tax onto you.</td></tr><tr><td>T9</td><td>VAT does not apply to the transaction, and does not need to appear on your VAT return.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Understand additional local currency details

When both the following conditions are met:

1. The invoicing method is [*invoicing via an impact.com entity*](/other/reference-documentation/understanding-impactcoms-trading-models.md)*.*
2. Indirect tax applies and the invoice is prepared in a different currency, the invoice will reflect the amounts in the local tax jurisdiction currency of the applicable tax jurisdiction.

These additional fields will automatically appear on your partner invoices:

* **Net Amount (local currency)**: The total amount before tax in the local tax jurisdiction currency.
* **Tax Amount (local currency)**: The total indirect tax amount in the local tax jurisdiction currency.
* **Total Amount (local currency)**: The final total (Net+Tax) in the local tax jurisdiction currency.
* **Exchange Rate**: The latest exchange rate used at the time the invoice was generated.

## Disagree with a commission on an invoice?

Once an action locks, it can no longer be [modified or reversed](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/submit-and-modify-conversion-data.md) and the commission due is final. You can work with the partner directly to try and resolve commission disputes.

* **If the partner was overpaid:** The partner may be able to [return the overpaid funds to you](https://help.impact.com/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/make-payments-to-brands).
* **If the partner was underpaid:** You can [transfer additional funds](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/partner-funds-transfer.md) to the partner.

We recommend [reviewing your pending actions](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/actions-and-payouts/payouts/approve-reverse-and-modify-pending-payouts-for-actions.md) regularly before their locking date to avoid this.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-documents/partner-payments-invoices-explained-for-brands.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
