How to create an invoice
Create a clear payment request with traceable parties, scope, totals and terms.
Reviewed 21 September 2026Direct answer
An invoice should identify supplier and customer, use a unique number and date, describe the supply, show quantities or fees, state totals and payment terms, and include VAT details only where applicable.
Open Invoice GeneratorWorked example
For a two-line service invoice, describe each deliverable, enter quantity and unit price, check subtotal and any valid tax, then review client details and payment terms before downloading.
Limits to check
A generated invoice is not automatically a valid VAT tax invoice. Registration status, supply type and statutory fields still matter.
