# Statements

A statement is a billing document you receive at the end of your billing period, along with your invoice PDF.

Statements are issued as Excel (`.xlsx`) files and they contain a detailed view of your invoice data, including individual charges, subscriptions, and orders for the billing period. A statement contains the following tabs:

* **Summary** - Contains objects associated with the statement (for example, agreement, licensee, and orders) with links to open them in the platform.
* **Charges** - Contains charges and subscriptions for the billing period. You can also see items within subscriptions, their quantities, and prices. If [split billing](/modules-and-features/billing/split-billing.md) is enabled, allocation percentage and estimated license count (ELC) details are also displayed.
* **Orders** - Contains all orders placed during the billing period, including order type, order date, and related details.

### Accessing statements
