Legal Definitions - sales invoice

A sales invoice is a document that shows the details of a purchase or sale, including the price and quantity of merchandise. It is an itemized list of goods or services provided by a seller to a buyer, usually specifying the terms of sale and the amount owed.

• When you buy a new phone from a store, you will receive a sales invoice that shows the price of the phone, any taxes or fees, and the total amount due.
• If you sell handmade crafts online, you will need to create a sales invoice for each order you receive, showing the items purchased, the price, and any shipping costs.

These examples illustrate how a sales invoice is used to document a transaction between a buyer and a seller. It provides a record of what was purchased, how much it cost, and when the payment is due.
