An invoice is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, outlining the details of a sale transaction. It specifies the products or services supplied, the quantity, and agreed-upon prices, along with any applicable terms of payment. An invoice serves as a request for payment, providing essential details for accounting and record-keeping purposes.
