Vendor Invoice Template

What is a Vendor Invoice?

A vendor invoice is a form that helps to collect payment on goods and products sold to customers. Vendors can also be the supplier (manufacturers, processors, etc.), but when dealing directly with the end-customer in a transaction, their role is that of a vendor. A vendor is a broad term for any business or individual dealing in a transactional relationship with the customer. If a manufacturer’s end customer is the retailer, the manufacturer must use a vendor invoice when selling their finished product to the manufacturer. Likewise, the retailer would then use their own vendor invoice when selling the product at retail price to their end-customer. A vendor could be any of the following:

• Retail shops
• Manufacturers
• Street vendors (however, these types of businesses hardly ever use invoices when selling to customers)
• Business to business (B2B)
