Plans supporting this feature: Growth Enterprise

1. Overview

  • Purpose: The Billing Dashboard provides visibility into the full invoice lifecycle — from creation to settlement, including failed, cancelled, pending, dunning, and refunded states. It helps teams monitor billing performance, detect bottlenecks, and manage credit notes.

  • Who it’s for: Finance leaders, billing operations managers, revenue analysts, customer success managers, and RevOps teams.

  • Business Value:

    • Ensures transparency across all invoice states for better cash flow operations.

    • Supports operational efficiency by surfacing failed invoices.

    • Improves financial control by monitoring net vs. total billing and credit notes.


2. Key Questions Answered

  • How much total billing was generated in a given period?

  • How much billing has been successfully settled and paid?

  • What is the volume and value of invoices in different states (dunning, cancelled, failed, pending, refunded)?

  • How many invoices were created vs. how many were settled?

  • What is the net billing amount after credits and refunds?


3. Metrics & Definitions

  • Total Billing

    • Definition: Gross value of all invoices created in a given period.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount, all states).

  • Net Billing

    • Definition: Total Billing minus credit notes and refunds.

    • Calculation: Total Billing – Credit Notes – Refunded Invoices.

  • New Billing

    • Definition: Billing amount from newly created invoices in the selected period.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where Invoice Created Date = Period).

  • Total Billing Paid

    • Definition: Amount of billing that has been successfully settled and paid.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Settled).

  • Total Credit Notes Amount

    • Definition: Value of credit notes issued, reducing total receivable billing.

    • Calculation: SUM(Credit Note Amount).

  • Amount of Settled Invoices

    • Definition: Total value of invoices that reached settlement.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Settled).

  • Amount of Dunning Invoices

    • Definition: Value of invoices currently in the dunning process.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Dunning).

  • Amount of Cancelled Invoices

    • Definition: Value of invoices cancelled before settlement.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Cancelled).

  • Amount of Failed Invoices

    • Definition: Value of invoices that failed to process.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Failed).

  • Amount of Refunded Invoices

    • Definition: Value refunded back to customers after payment.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Refunded).

  • Amount of Authorized Invoices

    • Definition: Value of invoices authorized but not yet settled.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Authorized).

  • Amount of Pending Invoices

    • Definition: Value of invoices created but pending settlement.

    • Calculation: SUM(Invoice Amount where State = Pending).

  • Number of [Invoice State] Invoices

    • Definition: Count of invoices per lifecycle stage (Created, Settled, Dunning, Cancelled, Failed, Pending, Authorized, Refunded).

    • Calculation: COUNT(Invoices where State = X).

6. FAQs

Q: Why do I see invoices in “pending” for a long time?
A: Pending invoices are created but not yet settled. This can occur due to delayed customer action, processing times, or manual payment methods.

Q: What is the difference between “Cancelled” and “Failed” invoices?
A: Cancelled invoices were actively voided before settlement, while Failed invoices could not be processed due to errors or payment rejection.
