disagree  edwardPVS: sorry, if I've understood the term correctly, it's more than the actual documentation. Wouldn't that be fakturadokumentation anyway? Invoicing documentation at least.

disagree  edwardPVS: "invoicing data" primarily seems to refer to company details, address, etc. GH, point taken, but is it an appropriate solution? When I research the term, this is about all I find http://www.aella.es/empresas/abaco/invoicing.htm

  -> Not really. The term data refers to any kind of relevant information. My concentration is on the question -- and therefore find that dictionaries are often more reliable than other 'research'.

invoice verification(s)


Explanation:
perhaps "verification" better than "documents", as the implication is that they are to be checked against each other, to justify the invoice

I got lots of google hits for this

neutral  edwardPVS: A common term as you say, but not really a translation of faktureringsunderlag, more "Verifikation för faktura"

Invoice breakdown, (invoice/bill details, invoice information))


Explanation:
This is a tricky one because the concept doesn't seem to exist in English. This is if I've understood 'faktureringsunderlag' correctly, ie the chargeable items in the invoice that correspond to the total amount due.

IMO the best solution would be 'invoice breakdown', ie a breakdown of all the items on an invoice one is being charged for. Unfortunately, it's not especially common in English. 'Invoice basis' is definitely wrong as it's an accounting term http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/invoice-basis.h... 'Invoicing basis' is not an authentic English term. 'Invoicing documents' is vague and 'invoice verification' ambiguous.

A distinction should also be made between the concept of the actual 'invoice/bill' and the process of 'invoicing/billing' IMO. Invoicing or billing details/data/info usually refer to company name, address, telephone number, tax number, etc, not the actual chargeable items in the invoice. On the other hand, invoice details/bill details/invoice information, ie the details in the invoice itself, can refer to the chargeable items as well as general information. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13408/...

I've also seen the term faktureringsunderlag used to refer to invoice templates.

Invoice documentation might be an acceptable solution in a general sense.
