Create or request a Display & Video 360 billing report

You can view and download invoices from the billing summary in your advertiser’s billing profile in Display & Video 360. You can also find and the same costs on your invoice in reporting by creating a billing report. For accuracy, make sure to use the same date range, dimensions, and metrics in your invoice.

Before you start

Things to note when comparing your invoice with your billing report:

  • The total invoiced amount (Billable Cost in reports) is equal to the sum of the positive line items listed on your invoice (in reporting as Media Cost + Platform Fee + Data Fees + Other Fees).
  • Billable Cost doesn't include Refund Billable Cost (displayed as negative line items on the invoice). These are two separate metrics.
  • Tax information is not available in reporting.

Match report details with your invoice

Make sure the following details in your report match your invoice's details:

  • Date Range: Match the invoice month(s) of service (for example, if the billing month is January, choose Jan 1 to Jan 31). Invoices are created on a monthly basis, and only activity for the billing month will be shown on an invoice.
  • Report template: Choose a Standard report with a Billing or Refund template to use common metrics and dimensions.
  • Filters: Always show entire partner accounts.
  • Dimensions: Choose dimensions that match the invoice level setting in the billing profile used by your advertiser or partner.
  • Currency: Check your default currencies in your advertiser or partner and match your invoiced currency. For example, if your invoice uses USD, choose USD. If a partner has advertisers with different currencies, the rate is based on the media cost in the currency of the contract. You can run reports on billable cost in the currency of the contract.
Invoice Offline report metrics
Platform fee Platform fee = Billable Cost
Media Cost Media Cost
Other Fees (formerly 'Third Party Fees') Not available*
Refunds and automated credits Refund Media Cost = Refund Billable Cost
Refund Platform Fee
Total cost = Billable Cost - Refund Billable cost + taxes

* There isn't a metric that consolidates the fees invoiced as "Other fees" together. To determine this fee, subtract Media Cost, Platform Fee, and Data Costs from the total Billable Cost. For a detailed breakdown of fees, you can pull a report of all fees. Keep in mind that the fees in "Other fees" might be reported but not charged.

If you believe there is an error in your billing, such as a wrong amount charged or an incorrect rate, please contact billing support for review and possible corrections.
