## Create an invoice <a href="#id-1.14.x-invoices-servicesbundle-createaninvoice" id="id-1.14.x-invoices-servicesbundle-createaninvoice"></a>

Invoices are automatically generated by the platform when a payment is done. Invoices to offerors are delivered when payouts are made, in other words, when the service has been provided and the payout is manually done by the platform administrator.
