Note
You can generate an invoice preview based on the current services and features on an account. This helps you evaluate and compare yet unbilled invoice charges to a previous (billed) invoice. This functionality is disabled by default. If you want to use this functionality, enable the Generate Preview Invoices setting available in the INVOICE section of the Settings page (MANAGE > Settings).
When this setting is enabled, a new Generate Preview button is available on the Invoice History page. Selecting this option submits a request to generate an invoice preview.

On clicking the button, you’ll see a confirmation message that lets you proceed or cancel.

If you choose to continue, the button label will change to Preview in Progress and a throbber icon will spin while the preview is being generated.

When the system is done you’ll see a green success message display temporarily in the upper right corner and the preview will be available in the Pending invoices list.

Note
You can only generate and have available one preview at a time.
Clicking the Invoice Number link displays the preview invoice detail view.

Note
When the Preview invoice does not include usage (due to re-rate required), the usage amount is displayed as Unavailable.
Comparing the Preview to an Approved Invoice
To compare the preview to an approved invoice:
From the detail view click the Compare button at the right.
From the Pending list on the History Invoice view, in the Preview invoice row, click the Compare icon at the far right.
In either case you can then choose an approved invoice to compare from the drop down menu on the Preview Detail.
