Project invoicing is the process by which a company or organization generates and accounts for revenue for services, products, or labor hours provided on a project. This process is critical to ensuring that services rendered are appropriately compensated and that financial tracking of a project is performed efficiently.
Invoicing begins with the generation of an invoice. The invoice typically includes information such as the name and address of the company issuing the invoice (sender), the name and address of the customer (recipient), the invoice date, a unique invoice number, and a detailed list of products delivered or services rendered.
The invoice shall state the price for the products delivered or services rendered. This may be on an hourly basis, per piece, per unit or otherwise, depending on the nature of the transaction and the agreements between the parties.
The invoice also states the payment terms, including the due date when payment is expected and the accepted payment methods. If applicable, taxes and other charges will be included in the invoice. The exact calculation and presentation of these amounts may vary depending on regional laws and regulations. The invoice will be sent to the customer or business partner.
