Google might send you multiple invoices for a set of transactions, also known as
split invoices. Split invoices separate the Google services you buy through a
Google partner reseller (third-party transactions) from services you buy
directly from Google (first-party transactions). Split invoices occur under the
agency transaction model.
Invoices can also split between transactions in different countries.
For all other Google Cloud transactions on invoiced billing, you typically
receive a single invoice from Google. You might receive more than one invoice
in the same month if Google needs to issue
billing credits or adjustments.
Know when split invoices apply
When you buy a third-party product for the first time, Google will send a
confirmation email that indicates you might receive two invoices.
View split invoices
Starting with the November 2024 invoice, you can view separate invoices for first-party transactions (Google) and third-party transactions (Partners) in the Cloud Billing console:
The Cost table
report has additional fields and data to support split
invoices, including the following:
The header
of the Cost table report displays a
Publisher type field
with a value of Google (indicating an invoice for first-party
transactions) or Partner (indicating an invoice for third-party
transactions).
For more information, see
About split invoices
in the View and download the cost details of your invoice or statement
documentation.
Pay split invoices
To pay split invoices, you might need to set up multiple vendors in your
accounts payable (AP) system, because payments for each invoice go to different
entities.
If you enable billing data export to BigQuery, three fields are
available to help you identify and analyze transactions on split invoices. These
fields are available in both the
standard usage cost data table
and the
detailed usage cost data table.
invoice.publisher_type: The publisher type field indicates when Google
splits your invoices between transactions directly with Google
(first-party), and transactions with a partner (third-party).
seller_name: The legal name of the seller.
transaction_type: The transaction type of the seller, indicating services
sold by Google, or third-party services either resold by Google or sold by
a partner.
