Additional information will automatically appear on the partner invoice when both the following conditions are met:

1. The invoicing method is invoicing via an impact.com entity.
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.

If the two conditions are met, the following fields are displayed on the invoice:

• 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.

My invoice doesn't look right

It is essential to consider the different contract terms when you suspect your invoice isn’t correct. Below is a case study where various contract terms created an invoice that didn’t reflect the payouts as the user expected.

Scenario: The brand's contract had an action-locking period set to 15 days after the end of the month in which the action occurred. The contract set the payout schedule to 10 days after action locking.

With these contract terms in mind, if an action occurred in April, it would lock on May 16. impact.com will pay the action into your account on May 27. This payout will be included in your next generated invoice. If you operate under the invoicing via an impact.com entity invoicing method, the expected date is June 2.
