# Review Pinterest billing and order history

> Tier: recipe. Operating recipe: real tool sequence, core rules, known traps.

Billing and orders read for finance reconciliation and anomaly dating.

**Intent.** What was billed, against what was planned.

## When to use

- Monthly closes.
- Spend anomaly investigations.

## When not to use

- No specific contraindication beyond the preconditions below.

## Sources

Required: Pinterest Ads

## Preconditions

- The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.

## Inputs

- `window`: Analysis window. Default: last 30 days.

## Procedure

1. Pull billing and orders. — tools: `pinterest_get_billing_and_orders`
2. Reconcile against reported spend for the same period. — tools: `pinterest_run_report`

## Decision rules

- **When** Billing and reported spend diverge beyond rounding → **conclude** Date the gap: credits, adjustments and taxes explain most of it, and the finding is which.

## Evidence requirements

- Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
- Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.

## Human approval boundary

- The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.

## Failure modes

- Billing periods are not reporting windows: align dates before comparing.

## Output

- **Readout**: The figures, with windows and accounts named.
- **Flags**: What deserves a deeper skill or a human decision.
