# State Invoices

> Checking what the state bills you against what your store recorded.

**Lottery Management → State Invoices** holds the settlement invoices the state
sends — daily, weekly or monthly depending on your state.

The table shows Invoice #, Period, Sales, Commission, **Net Due** and Status.
Opening one compares, line by line: the **State Invoice** figure, your **Store
Records**, and the **Variance**.

## Enter an invoice

> [card] Scan it
>
> **Scan lottery invoice** reads the printed settlement — the draw-style
> section, the instant section, adjustments, service fee, total net due, EFT
> amount and sweep date. Scanned invoices are marked as such.

> [card] Enter it
>
> **Enter State Invoice** for typing it in by hand.

Whichever route, you confirm the figures before it is saved.

## What is being checked

Two things:

**1. Does the invoice agree with your own records?**

The variance column is the answer. A persistent gap means either the state
has it wrong or your terminal reports are incomplete.

**2. Is the commission right?**

Your commission rates are configured per store and state. PRODUCT\_NAME also
works out the rate the invoice *implies* and flags it when that does not
look like a believable retailer commission.

Net figures are recalculated from their components rather than trusted as
printed, which is what catches a misread sign on a scanned invoice.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Variances of a few dollars across a settlement period are rounding, and are
> treated as such. It is a consistent gap, or one large one, that is worth
> taking to the state.
