| 释义 | > as lemmasbill of parcels 6. A note of charges for goods delivered or services rendered, in which the cost of each item is separately stated; also known as a bill of parcels.In modern use, confined in this sense to the professions and to retail trade, and implying a demand for payment. In wholesale transactions, an ‘invoice,’ containing the usual particulars of a bill, is supplied on delivery of the goods, and the formal demand for payment is made by a ‘statement of account’ sent in when the money is due. Bill is however often loosely used for ‘invoice,’ and vice versa.
