> Your definition, "An invoice is a document which is part of a financial transaction between two or more parties and is a response to an order." is good as far as it goes.  But this definition could also represent a "pay-on-receipt ship notice".  I would suggest the definition be opened up to include the following:  "An invoice is a document which is part of a financial transaction between two or more parties requiring either the payment of monies or the granting of a credit and is a response to an order."


Hi Greg,

I like the refinement of the definition.  The distinction is important.

On the issue of SUMO, I found text, under artifact, under CorpuscularObject.
The corpuscular part threw me ... I thought it was referring to corpuscles in 
biology and not the more general diminutive of corpus.  Ahhh.... the joys of 
esoteric definition ;^)
