Kiszámlázni

Kiszámlázni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to invoice" or "to bill" in English. It refers to the process of creating and issuing a formal document, known as a számla (invoice), to a customer detailing goods or services provided and the amount owed. This act is a fundamental part of business transactions, signifying that a debt has been incurred and is now due for payment.

The verb encompasses the entire procedure of preparing the invoice, which typically includes information such as the seller's and buyer's identification, a description of the items or services, quantities, unit prices, applicable taxes (like ÁFA, or Value Added Tax), and the total amount payable. Once prepared, the invoice is then sent to the customer, often electronically or by mail.

In a broader sense, "kiszámlázni" can also imply the act of charging for something, even if a formal invoice isn't immediately generated. For instance, a service provider might say they will "kiszámlázni" the customer for their time, even if the final billing occurs later. It is a key verb in Hungarian business and financial contexts, central to revenue recognition and payment processes.
