Overview
This guide walks you through how to create invoices in Ripple — both in bulk and individually.
Ripple retrieves AWS CUR data and uses it as the basis for cost aggregation. CUR data is finalised when an Invoice ID is assigned, at which point you should click the Report Finalization button on the Ripple dashboard to begin the aggregation process.
For information on aggregation timing for Azure and GCP, please refer to the link below:
Once you receive the invoice (PDF) from AWS, click the Report Finalization button in Ripple. If any CUR updates are detected after aggregation, Alphaus will notify you. Invoices can be recreated after re-aggregation to reflect the latest CUR data.
Steps
Step 1: Request Aggregation
After receiving the invoice from AWS, click the Report Finalization button on the Ripple dashboard
Aggregation will begin, and our support team will send you an email within 2 business days to confirm that recalculation is complete
Once you receive the confirmation email, you can proceed to create your invoices
Processing time varies depending on the volume of CUR data, but typically takes around 4–5 hours. If a CUR update is detected during aggregation, a re-calculation may be triggered — please allow up to 2 business days for the notification in such cases.
Step 2: Create Invoices
Set the Payer Account exchange rate and common exchange rate
From the left menu, click Invoices > Adjusting Entries and apply any necessary items
From the left menu, click Invoices > Invoice Management
Select the billing month
Proceed with one of the following:
Bulk Creation: Click Create And Publish Invoice(s) > For All Billing Groups in the top right corner
Individual Creation: Check the box next to the Billing Group(s) you want to create invoices for (multiple selections allowed), then click Create And Publish Invoice(s) > For Selected Billing Groups
Your invoice creation is now complete. ✅
Filtering
You can filter invoices by the following criteria:
Cloud vendor: AWS, Azure, GCP
Status: Created, Not Created
Payer Account
Billing Group
Important Notes
It is possible to run aggregation before Report Finalization. The aggregation will be based on the latest CUR data available at the time the button is clicked.
During aggregation, Ripple calculates AWS usage fees and updates Wave with the latest data simultaneously. This ensures that costs displayed in Ripple and Wave remain consistent.
However, during aggregation, cost data in Wave may temporarily not be reflected. This state typically lasts approximately 1–3 hours and will resolve once aggregation is complete.
