# CreateInvoice (Live)
Generates an invoice for one or more campaigns in HTML format.
When calling this method, specify one or more campaigns and the amounts to pay that should be shown in the invoice. The method returns the URL of the invoice. Only the user who the method was called on behalf of can access the invoice (the user must log in on Yandex).


{% note alert %}

Direct advertisers can generate an invoice only when the campaign has been approved by a moderator (see the campaign parameter StatusModerate).

{% endnote %}


## Recommendations and restrictions


{% note alert %}

All campaigns specified in the same method call must be of the same type. [More information about campaign types](https://yandex.com/dev/direct/doc/dg/objects/ad.htmlcampaign.md)

{% endnote %}


We recommend generating invoices using as few calls of the `CreateInvoice` method per day as possible. This recommendation is aimed at improving the performance of the Yandex Direct API. In terms of productivity, it is better to generate one invoice for several campaigns at once than to generate separate invoices by calling the method multiple times.

Restrictions on method calls:

- A single user can call the method 1000 times per day.
- A single campaign can have no more than 30 transactions per day, including generating invoices ([CreateInvoice (Live)](https://yandex.com/dev/direct/doc/dg-v4/en/live/CreateInvoice.md)), transferring funds ([TransferMoney (Live)](https://yandex.com/dev/direct/doc/dg-v4/en/live/TransferMoney.md)), and delayed payment ([PayCampaigns](https://yandex.com/dev/direct/doc/dg-v4/en/live/PayCampaigns.md)).

Exceeding these limits results in the error [56](https://yandex.com/dev/direct/doc/dg-v4/en/reference/ErrorCodes.md#ErrorCode56).

## Currency restrictions


{% note alert %}

There is no provision for creating a single invoice for multiple campaigns in different currencies.

{% endnote %}


All campaigns specified in the same method call must be in the same currency.

Payment amounts (the Sum parameter) should be specified in the campaign currency (by setting the corresponding value for the Currency parameter). All amounts must be specified in the same currency.

## New in the Live 4 version

The Currency input parameter is required.

Added the Currency input parameter.


## Input data {#input}

The input data structure in JSON is shown below.


{% note alert %}
