invoice

Seller's billing document

An invoice is a document itemizing goods or services provided and the amount owed: The contractor sent an invoice for the repairs.

To invoice is to bill someone or send such a document: We'll invoice you at the end of the month.

In business contexts, invoices serve as formal requests for payment and records for accounting.
