If some invoices need a change before you make a payment, you can dispute or request a change to one or multiple invoices at the same time through the Google payments center. You can also request to split an invoice or consolidate multiple invoices.
You’ll need Admin payments profile access to dispute or request a change to an invoice. You can manage access for others to request invoice changes with Admin access.
If you don't have access to the Payments profile, reach out to those on your profile who can grant you access – the Admins or Manage User profile users – or to the Google support team.
