Q1) What is an Invoice?
An invoice is a commercial document that itemizes and records a transaction between a seller and a buyer. It serves as both a request for payment and a record of the sale. In essence, an invoice outlines the products or services provided by the seller, their quantities, prices, and any applicable taxes or discounts. It also includes information about the seller and the buyer, as well as payment terms and instructions.
