On Reach, publishers request payment from advertisers with the help of invoices. Invoice is a document, which contains the information about a publisher, the sum of money, currency, the list of related campaigns, the list of payable conversions.
On Reach, you pay money to Affise, then they go directly to publishers. Invoice is not a request to pay money to Affise, but rather a list of conversions, which the publisher asks to pay for. The system generates invoices automatically with a certain frequency, so you don't need to collect all the conversions on your own.
You can reject the invoice if you find it wrong in numbers, campaigns or any other details. However, once you confirm that everything is okay, you must pay money,

Invoice/receipt system on Reach:
The system creates an invoice for a publisher on the 25th of each month.
The invoice appears in the Payments section on the advertiser's panel.
The advertiser makes a decision: to reject or to approve the invoice. You need to make a decision about the invoice by the end of the month.
If the advertiser rejects it, his manager on Affise will contact him to understand the reason of the rejection.
If the advertiser approves it, the system includes it to a receipt on the 1st of the next month.
The advertiser pays a receipt by the 14th of the same month when he approved the invoice.
Affise confirms receiving of money and moves a receipt to the Paid status.
The invoice which is in the receipt gets the Paid status.
You pay only for conversions with the Approved status. If the conversion status is Pending or Hold, it won't get to the invoice by the time of the invoice creation.
⚠️ It is not possible to change the conversion's status once it is approved.
The system adds a conversion to only one invoice as well as adds an invoice to only one receipt. You won't pay for the same conversion twice.
You won't pay for test conversions when performing the integration test. The system doesn't assign such conversions to a publisher.
