Part 1: What is an Invoice?

Sellers send invoices to buyers containing information on what goods or services were bought, as well as a sum charged for them. They are used for accounting purposes so that both parties know what sums of money and what goods and services are involved in a transaction.

Invoices are a crucial part of business as it helps companies keep track of their finances. If any disagreements arise between the buyer and the seller regarding the agreement, invoices can clarify any details. It also establishes an obligation between the buyer and the seller, ensuring that the seller gets paid.
