In business and economic theory, there are two familiar terms, namely invoice and invoice.

For
the second term, probably many people know it, which is a complete list of shipments with
patent format. Such as name, quantity and price.

As for the first term or Invoice, it may sound foreign to the ear. This is reasonable, because
these documents are not as popular as invoices that are often used by entrepreneurs and business
people.

Understanding Invoice in General

The definition of an invoice is a written document that contains a debt collection letter. This
draft is given by the seller to the buyer as a debtor. While the format is not much different from
the invoice, which contains the name of the product, the price to be paid and the date of purchase
of the goods.

Usually, invoices are made in triplicate. The original one becomes the company file while the
three copies are given one for the buyer, one for the seller while the last one is the financial file.

In general, invoices are used for transactions in the form of installments or credit. Other than
that category, what is included is usually ordinary documents. Even so, the invoice document
must still be provided by the company. Because we don't know what kind of transaction model
the customer (buyer) is asking for.

Invoice Types

Invoice documents are divided into several types. All of them, are often used for transactions by
upper and middle class entrepreneurs and business people. Here are the types in question,
namely:

1. Regular Invoice

A regular invoice is the most common debt collection document. Usually these records are used
for simple transactions. For this reason, the letter format is also simple. It only contains the
name of the item and the selling price.

2. Proforma Invoice
 Proforma invoices are also called temporary invoices. Usually, this letter is given when the
product supply is still not finished. Therefore, the characteristic of this type of invoice is that it
is given to the buyer in stages. As proof, if some of the products have been delivered.

3. Consular Invoice

The third type is the most exclusive invoice which is called a consular invoice. Usually this
document is included for large class transactions between countries.

The most frequently used documents are export and import transactions. While the conditions
for issuing an invoice, there must be written approval from the trade attaché of the transacting
country.
