An invoice is a commercial document that itemizes and records a transaction between a buyer and a seller. If goods or services were purchased on credit, the invoice usually specifies the terms of the deal and provides information on the available methods of payment. Types of invoices may include a receipt, a bill of sale, debit note, or sales invoice.
