# Invoices

> Browse and download the five invoice types Paylead issues for your Program, and tell at a glance which ones charge you and which ones pay you.

<RequiredRoles roles="Financial" />

**Invoices**, a top-level entry of the Shift sidebar, is the billing archive of your [Program](/glossary#program): every document Paylead issued for the money moving between Paylead and you. You come here at the end of an invoicing cycle to check what you owe, confirm what you are owed, and hand the PDFs to your accounting team.

Paylead issues all five document types, including the ones raised on your Program's behalf, so you receive the document rather than issuing it yourself. Paylead's name on an invoice therefore tells you nothing about who pays. **Money runs in both directions**: three types charge your Program, two record what Paylead owes your Program. Read the **Type** column before the amount.

## Invoice types

The **Type** column carries one of five values.

| Type              | Who pays whom             | What it covers                                                                                                      |
| ----------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Gift`            | Your Program pays Paylead | Reimbursement for the [Gift](/glossary#gift) Rewards you distributed to your [Consumers](/glossary#consumer).       |
| `Revenue`         | Paylead pays your Program | The commission you earn on the [Cashback](/glossary#cashback) [Rewards](/glossary#reward) your Consumers generated. |
| `Voucher`         | Your Program pays Paylead | The face value of the vouchers distributed to Consumers, which your Program reimburses.                             |
| `Voucher revenue` | Paylead pays your Program | The commission your Program takes on that voucher activity.                                                         |
| `Voucher budget`  | Your Program pays Paylead | The money your Program advances up front to fund those vouchers, under the cash advance mechanism.                  |

<Note>
  The three voucher types, and the **Voucher budget** and **Vouchers** tabs below, appear only on Programs that run vouchers.
</Note>

A `Revenue` invoice is settled by the wire transfer recorded on the matching [Ventilation](/glossary#ventilation) row: the **Invoice reference** column of [Ventilations](/program/shift/ventilations#columns) carries the same reference.

## Browse invoices

Tabs filter the list by type:

| Tab                | Shows                                     |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| **All**            | Every invoice.                            |
| **Gifts**          | `Gift` invoices.                          |
| **Revenue**        | `Revenue` and `Voucher revenue` invoices. |
| **Voucher budget** | `Voucher budget` invoices.                |
| **Vouchers**       | `Voucher` invoices.                       |

The **Revenue** tab pools `Revenue` and `Voucher revenue`: read the **Type** column to tell the two apart, or click the **Type** header to sort the tab by type.

Use the keyword search and the **Date From** and **Date to** fields to narrow the list by creation date. Without filters, the list holds every invoice since the Program launched. Switching tabs clears the keyword search, both date fields, and the column sort, so set your filters again after each tab change.

### Columns

Click the **Date**, **Invoice**, or **Type** header to sort the list on that column, and click it again to reverse the order. The list opens on the most recent invoice first.

| Column         | Description                                                                             |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date**       | The invoice creation date.                                                              |
| **Invoice**    | The invoice reference number.                                                           |
| **Type**       | The invoice type: `Gift`, `Revenue`, `Voucher`, `Voucher revenue`, or `Voucher budget`. |
| **Gifts VAT**  | The amount of Gifts transferred, VAT included. Reads `-` on `Revenue` invoices.         |
| **Fees VAT**   | The [Program Manager](/glossary#program-manager) commission, VAT included.              |
| **Amount VAT** | The invoice total, VAT included. Reads `-` on `Revenue` invoices.                       |

Three money columns end in VAT, and Shift shows the one that is the row total in bold: **Amount VAT** on every type except `Revenue`, where the total is **Fees VAT**. Book the figure shown in bold and treat the other two as breakdown. To reconcile **Gifts VAT** against the Gifts you distributed, see [Gifts](/program/shift/gifts).

## Download or view an invoice

Click the download icon on a row to retrieve the invoice as a PDF to your computer, or the view icon to open it in a new browser tab.

Shift is where an invoice is published, not where it is settled. Paylead invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date, and you track settlement in your own accounting system.
