Create a new invoice setup in Ads Billing Center

Last updated: 1 year ago

As a Business Manager admin, you can update the information used to generate your monthly invoices by changing your invoice setup.  

If the changes to your invoice setup include the following reasons, you must create a new invoice. 

  • You need to activate a new ad account for monthly invoicing.  
  • You need to change the bill-to legal entity or billing region for an ad account already on monthly invoicing.

Here's a tip

Each invoice setup generates an invoice at the end of each month. When creating a new invoice setup, choose the effective date from when you will start being billed using your new invoice setup. Choose the first day of the current billing period as your effective date to minimize the number of total invoices you receive. If you edit an invoice setup, the changes are effective for the entire current billing period and don’t require setting an effective date.

To create a new invoice setup:

  1. Go to Ads Billing Center. 

  2. Click Ad accounts in the left menu.  

  3. Select the ad account.

  4. Click the Manage invoice setup button and select Create new invoice setup. 

  5. Create a new invoice setup: 

    • Enter an Invoice setup name. 
    • Select what This invoice setup will be used for:  
      • Choose My business if you are the liable legal entity that will receive and pay monthly invoices.  
      • Choose My client’s business if you’re an agency buying ads on behalf of an advertiser who will remain liable for ads costs (sequential liability).
    • Select a Bill-to legal entity. 
    • Agency only: Select a Payment method.
      • Only monthly invoicing payment methods that have been shared with you or that you applied for on behalf of a client will be available.
    • Select a Billing address.
    • Select a Billing contact.
    • Add Invoice recipients. 
    • Add a PO number (optional). 

  6. Choose an effective date. By default, the effective date is the first day of the current billing period. You can’t change the effective date to a future date.

  7. Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the page.
