# Expected invoices

> See per period what Glimps expects from a contract, and what actually arrived.

Once a contract is confirmed, Glimps works out the periods it covers and what each period should cost. Open the contract and look at **Invoices under this contract**.

## What the table shows

| Column | Meaning |
| - | - |
| Period | The period this row covers |
| Expected | What the contract says the period costs, excluding VAT |
| Received | What actually arrived, excluding VAT |
| Invoices | How many invoices landed in this period |
| Status | Expected, received, missing, or over-billed |

Press **Refresh** to recalculate. A contract that has just been confirmed shows nothing until you do.

## The statuses

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Expected" icon="clock">
    The period is still running, or the invoice is not due yet. Nothing to do.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Received" icon="check">
    An invoice arrived and it fits the agreement.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Missing" icon="circle-alert">
    The period passed and no invoice arrived. That can be a supplier who forgot, or a service you are no longer getting but may still be paying for elsewhere. Worth a look either way.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Over-billed" icon="triangle-alert">
    More arrived than agreed. Either a second invoice for the same period, or an amount above the allowed deviation.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Variable amounts

Some contracts have no fixed amount per invoice. Those periods show as **Variable**, and Glimps checks what it can: that an invoice arrived, and that it arrived once.

## When matching stops

If a contract has not matched an invoice for a while, the contract says so, with the expected amount and what was actually received. Usually it means the supplier changed something: a new reference, a split invoice, or a different entity.

## What this is not

The register does not pay anything and does not chase anybody. It tells you what the agreement says and what really happened. The decision stays yours.
