Invoice number is the code given to the invoice by the tax department. When querying the authenticity of an invoice, you need to enter the invoice number. The invoice number is generally 8 digits, but when querying the authenticity of the invoice online, it is generally necessary to enter the information code or invoice code before the invoice number. Therefore, the "invoice number" when querying the authenticity of an invoice consists of "information code+invoice number" or "invoice code+invoice number".
Invoice refers to the text issued by the seller to the buyer in economic activities, including the name, quality and agreed price of the products or services provided to the buyer. In addition to the advance payment, the invoice must also include the money paid by the buyer to the seller according to the agreed conditions, and must include the date and quantity, which is an important proof of accounting. According to China's accounting system, valid invoices for purchasing products or services are called tax invoices. The charging vouchers of government departments have different names in different periods and different charging items, but most of them are collectively referred to as administrative fee receipts. For internal audit and verification, each invoice must have a unique journal number to prevent duplicate or skip invoices.
