Line Item

Invoice Components

An individual entry on an invoice listing a specific product or service.

Detailed Explanation

A line item represents a single product, service, or charge on an invoice. Each line item typically includes a description, quantity, unit price, and total amount. Detailed line items provide transparency, make it easier for customers to understand charges, and help with accurate record-keeping. Invoices can have multiple line items for different products or services provided in a single transaction.

Examples

  • Line item: 'Web Design Services - 20 hours × $100/hour = $2,000'
  • An invoice with separate line items for products and shipping costs
