Invoices - Summary

The invoice summary export contains the invoice header information and the summary totals for each of your successfully-generated invoices.

Invoice Status Filter

All

Every invoice generated within your Recurly site, regardless of status.

Open

All invoices that have not received a payment attempt. This status has a value of 'pending' in the export and does not include invoices with a 'past_due' status. This status only exists for manual invoices. If you see this status for an automatically collected invoice, it may mean that the payment attempt had a transaction communication error.

Processing

All invoices that have an ACH bank payment in progress. This status will only exist for ACH bank payments. The status means the associated payment transaction has not settled. An ACH invoice with the Processing status that reaches the due date will not move to Past Due or Paid until the transaction has settled.

Closed

All successfully collected invoices. This status has a value of 'paid' in the export and does not include the 'failed' status. It is important to note that the associated credit card, PayPal, or Amazon transaction with a paid invoice may not be settled with the gateway. Allow at least 1 to 3 business days for transaction settlement with the gateway.

Past Due

All automatic invoices that attempted collection, but the payment failed, or manual invoices that have reached their due date. Payment for automatic invoices will be retried automatically through the dunning process.

Failed

All invoices that have either experienced 20 declines or have been through the dunning process without successful payment. These invoices will not be retried. It is important to note that failed invoices will clear the owed balance from the account and will not attempt any future collections, but the charge line items will still exist in the account history.

Voided

All credit invoices that have been voided. These invoices will not be retried. It is important to note that voided invoices will clear the owed balance from the account and will not attempt any future collections, but the credit line items will still exist in the account history.

Date Range Filters

Created

Shows invoices created during the selected time range. Uses the 'billed_date' column in the export.

Modified

Shows invoices last modified during the selected time range. An invoice is only modified when its 'status' changes. Uses the 'modified_at' column in the export.

Invoices - Unused Numbers

The unused invoice number export contains basic information for all invoice numbers that were not used on successfully-generated invoices. An unused invoice number could result from a failed sign-up, among other events.

This log of unused invoice numbers is especially useful for audit purposes. It complements the invoice numbers provided in the Invoices - Summary export to provide an explanation for each invoice number in your sequence.

All invoice numbers unsuccessfully attempted on or after July 1, 2019 will be shown in this export.

Invoices (DEPRECATED)

The invoice export contains individual invoice line items including summary totals for invoices, so multiple items may be associated with the same invoice ID.

🚧
The Invoices export has been replaced by the "Invoices - Summary" export and the "Adjustments" export. This export will be removed when your site enables credit memo functionality.
