Half your suppliers never submit invoices
Your AP team chases 4,000 creators for invoices every month. Most arrive late, formatted differently, or not at all.
Invoicing
Generate invoices without supplier paperwork
You pay 8,000 creators per month. Each one should submit an invoice. None of them do. Gruv generates the invoice from your approved earnings data and delivers it with the payout confirmation.

Where supplier invoicing bottlenecks payouts
Manual invoices drift from actual earnings
A creator submits $3,200. Your system says $2,900. Reconciliation becomes a monthly argument.
Self-billed invoices still need correct tax fields
VAT IDs, local tax references, and commercial terms must appear on the document. A generic PDF fails audit.
Suppliers need their own copy of the record
Your platform generates the invoice, but the creator still needs a downloadable document for their own tax filing.
Invoice Ops
Self-billing tied to approved payout data
Invoice amounts compute from the same earnings data that drives your payout. The PDF generates automatically. The creator downloads it from their portal.
Amounts from your approved earnings
The invoice matches the payout because both pull from the same source: your approved earnings calculation.
PDF generation for 10,000 suppliers
Generate invoice PDFs across your entire supplier population. No manual formatting.
Delivery via portal and email
Creators download from their portal. Email notifications arrive with the payout confirmation.
Country-specific tax templates
VAT ID, local tax reference, and commercial terms appear on the document. Templates adapt per market.
Every invoice links to the payout record
Finance traces any invoice back to the batch, earnings calculation, and settlement reference.
Roll out one supplier group at a time
Start with the creators causing the most invoice chase. Expand to affiliates and gig workers after.

How it works
From earnings data to supplier invoice
Self-billing shapes by program type
Self-billing removes the biggest payout bottleneck: waiting for suppliers to submit invoices. These are the program types that benefit most.
Creators
Creator earnings invoices
Your platform calculates what each creator earned. Gruv generates the invoice. The creator downloads it from their portal.
Affiliates
Affiliate commission invoices
Commission amounts pull from your attribution data. The invoice generates automatically. No waiting on affiliate-side submissions.
Royalties
Royalty statement and invoice bundles
Each rights holder gets a statement showing per-track splits and an invoice that matches the payout amount.
Gig
Gig-worker shift invoices
Your platform records completed shifts. Gruv generates an invoice per worker per cycle. The worker downloads it for their records.

How do suppliers get their invoices?+
Suppliers download from their portal or receive a PDF via email with the payout confirmation. The audit trail ties each invoice to the payout record.
Will the invoice amount always match the payout?+
