6.2.4 Differences between Pre-Invoices and Invoices

In the process of invoicing your Media Campaigns with ADvendio, we issue two types of documents to facilitate this operation:

  1. Pre-Invoice - which is a draft document for you to check if invoicing has no issues

  2. Invoice - is converted from a Pre-Invoice and can be sent to your customer

 

Explore the difference in detail between Pre-Invoices and Invoices after the billing run within the invoice details:
