*It's important that you submit your invoices prior to your established Invoice Due Dates.
This guide walks you through how to create, review, and submit an invoice as a contractor on Borderless.
1. Go to the Invoices page
From your homepage, navigate to Invoices in the left-hand menu.
Here, you’ll see:
- Submitted invoices
- Draft invoices
- Any invoices that may have been auto-generated based on your contract terms
To create a new invoice, click Add Invoice in the top right.
2. Enter invoice details
Start by confirming your invoice setup:
- Legal Entity → The company you’re working with
- Contract → Your active contract for that company
- Currency → Pre-set based on your contract
If you work with multiple companies or contracts, you can select the correct one here.
Next, enter:
- Invoice period → The dates you worked
- Due date → When you expect payment
These are typically agreed upon in advance with the company.
3. Add line items
Now, add the details of your work.
Option A: Lump sum payment
If you’re paid a fixed amount:
- Select Base Pay
- Add a description (e.g., “Product design services”)
- Enter quantity and total amount
Option B: Hourly payment
If you’re paid hourly:
- Add a line item for each day (or work entry)
- Include:
- In "Description", enter the date
- In "Quantity", enter the number of hours worked that date
- In "Rate", enter the hourly rate at which you are paid
You can continue adding line items until the full period is covered.

4. Review and submit
Before submitting, review:
- Company and contract
- Invoice period and due date
- Line items and total amount
Once everything looks correct, click Submit.
After submission:
- A PDF version of your invoice will be generated
- You’ll be notified when it’s ready
5. Track invoice status
After submitting, you can track your invoice directly from the Invoices page.
Each invoice shows:
- Approval status (e.g., Pending → Approved)
- Payment status (e.g., Pending → Paid)
6. Continue from a draft (optional)
If you don’t finish creating an invoice, it will be saved as a draft.
To continue:
- Click the •• (three dots) next to the draft
- Select Edit
You’ll be taken back to where you left off.
Notes
- Some invoices may be auto-generated depending on your contract terms
- If your invoicing period has already passed, you may need to create the first invoice manually before auto-generation begins
- If you’re unsure about your invoice period or due date, contact your company or support
