Billing in one view
Compute billing covers your billing profile, invoice, payment state, and receipt. Standard terms are USD NET30 unless your signed commercial terms say otherwise.
Your invoice remains the Lithi billing record. An external finance system can carry an annotation, but its Paid label does not settle a Lithi invoice.
Review the invoice
Check the account, organization, billing period, currency, amount, due date, and approved destination. Resolve missing or conflicting facts before sending the invoice to your finance system.
Do not guess a tax treatment, legal entity, purchase-order rule, cost centre, project, or approver. Keep the source and freshness of each confirmed fact.
Pay through the hosted handoff
When an invoice needs payment, Lithi opens a hosted Mercury page. The human payer links or verifies the bank there and approves each ACH debit there.
Bank details, verification codes, and mandate secrets do not pass through Lithi or your frontier agent. Lithi does not offer standing ACH approval through this guide.
Read payment states
Use the invoice and payment views to distinguish draft, scheduled, sent, partially paid, paid, void, and unknown states. A payment marked Processing does not raise your spend ceiling.
If payment status is unclear, read it back from the authoritative payment source before changing the account decision. Keep any receipt reference with the invoice period.
