Open UGC invoices
Every sent invoice still awaiting payment, with brand, rate, and due date.

Track your UGC project invoices
UGC payments are easy to lose track of: a brand promises payment in 30 days, a deliverable count gets renegotiated, and three projects all sit at 'invoice sent' with no way to see which is overdue. Cash Workspace lets you record each UGC invoice with the brand, deliverables, rate, revision terms, and status, with the agreement attached, so every brand project's payment is tracked on its own.
The problem
Why UGC invoices get forgotten
Brand deals are negotiated casually and paid slowly. Without one list, a sent invoice quietly ages past its due date and you only notice when rent is due.
- An invoice was sent but you can't remember if the brand ever paid it.
- The deal was for three videos and two photos, but the invoice doesn't say, so a dispute is your word against theirs.
- Net-30 and net-60 terms vary by brand and you have no due date written down.
- Two brands at 'awaiting payment' look identical, but one is two weeks overdue.
- The signed agreement is buried somewhere and you can't point to the agreed rate.
The workflow
Record and follow each UGC invoice
Capture the deal details and the document when you invoice, then keep the status current.
- 1
Record the invoice
When you send it, record the brand, rate, deliverable count, issue date, and due date based on the brand's payment terms.
- 2
Note the deal terms
Write down videos and photos owed, included revisions, and usage period so the scope is on record.
- 3
Attach the agreement
Attach the signed agreement or brief so the agreed rate and scope live with the invoice.
- 4
Set the status
Mark it sent, partially paid, paid, or overdue, and update it the day payment lands.
- 5
Review what's outstanding
Scan the list weekly to see which brand invoices are past due and need a follow-up.
Record structure
What to record for each UGC invoice
These fields make each brand payment individually trackable instead of one big pile.
- Brand
- Who you invoiced, kept as a consistent client record.
- Rate
- The agreed amount for the project and currency.
- Deliverable count
- How many videos and photos the rate covers.
- Revision terms
- How many revisions are included before extra charges apply.
- Issue date
- When you sent the invoice.
- Due date
- When payment is due under that brand's terms, so overdue is obvious.
- Status
- Sent, partially paid, paid, or overdue.
- Agreement
- The signed agreement or brief attached to the invoice record.

Common mistakes
Mistakes to avoid
- Sending an invoice with no due date, so you can't tell when it's late.
- Leaving the deliverable count off the record, so scope disputes have no reference.
- Marking nothing as paid, so the open and closed invoices blur together.
- Storing the agreement separately from the invoice it backs up.
- Skipping a weekly review, so overdue brand payments age unnoticed.

FAQ
UGC invoice tracking FAQ
- How do I keep track of which brand still owes me?
- Record each invoice with a due date and a status. The ones marked sent or overdue with a passed due date are the brands you still need to follow up with.
- Can I record the deliverable count and revisions on the invoice?
- Yes. You can note videos and photos owed and included revisions on the record so the agreed scope sits with the invoice and the attached agreement.
- Does Cash Workspace collect the payment or send reminders for me?
- No. Cash Workspace does not process payments or send anything automatically; it organizes your invoices and their statuses so you can follow up yourself.
