What a good invoice must include
A solid invoice has:
- The word "INVOICE" + number & date — sequential numbering (e.g. INV/2026/001).
- Seller details — name/brand, address, contact (and tax ID if needed).
- Buyer details — company/person name and contact.
- Line items — description, quantity, unit price, line subtotal.
- Subtotal, tax, total — tax (if any) and the final total.
- Payment method & due date — account/e-wallet and the due date.
