What is the difference between Invoice and bills ?

Answer 1

An invoice is just to tell you how much you owe. it is not a bill.
A bill tells you how much you owe, plus the date by which it must be paid. It also tells you what the late fee is.
For example, if you order something and pay for it up front, they will still send you an invoice, to tell you how much you ordered, and the invoice will tell you that you owe $0.00.

I know it is weird, but that is how it is!

Answer 2

In voice can be just a statement of "invoiced items" or it can be a Bill.

A Bill if Itemized is an Invoiced Bill.
A Bill is a request for payment upon agreement.

Often its a common term an Invoice is a request for payment within a Timed term, (30 from point of purchase or billing cycle) possible as well 60, 90 days or upon receipt of this request.

Often an Invoice is a regenerated document and sent as often as needed until payment is received.

Be sure to check any numbers associated with the item or service or date of purchase and pay them only once. It is not uncommon to be "invoiced" several times, since often times the Accounts Payable and the Accounts Receivable of a company are different persons or departments or event different locations.

Answer 3

Bill - pay this much and when. Invoice - a list of delivered goods or services. Even free things often come with an invoice. Bills often list invoiced items. IE phone bill may list (invoice) your calls but also be a request for payment.

Answer 4

Legal Sense: Bill = Unconditional Demand note for payment / Note agreeing to pay a sum of rupees
Invoice = Descriptive statement of Details of quantities and values of each of such quantities, giving a sum of value of the commodities supplied / services rendered.
A Bill need not be supported by evidence of delivery.
An Invoice must be backed by Delivery Challan / Note in case of quantitative units.
Usage of Trade In India: Bill and invoice are alternate terms for raising a demand on another to make payment.

Answer 5

Invoices are associated with what are called Accounts Receivable (sales income collected at a later time, depending on the terms of you Invoices). Accounts Payable and bills are the opposite (things that you buy that are subjected to payment terms due on a certain date). The above can also be collectible or payable immediately too- cash sales or cash purchases.

Answer 6

A bill can be more things than an invoice; e.g., bill of lading, bill of materials, etc. An invoice is a document provided by the seller to the buyer, notifying the buyer that s/he owes the seller money.
