Részszámla

Részszámla, often translated as partial invoice or installment invoice, is a billing document issued by a seller to a buyer for a portion of the total payment due for goods or services. This differs from a final invoice, which represents the complete amount owed. Részszámla is typically used in situations where the total payment is broken down into multiple stages or installments.

Common scenarios for issuing a részszámla include long-term projects, custom-made goods, or significant purchases where a deposit or upfront payment is required, followed by subsequent payments as work progresses or upon delivery. The partial invoice clearly indicates the amount paid or to be paid at that specific stage, often referencing the total contract value or the overall order. It also specifies the remaining balance, providing clarity for both parties regarding their financial obligations.

The purpose of a részszámla is to manage cash flow, track progress payments, and ensure that work is proceeding according to the agreed-upon terms. It serves as a record of financial transactions within a larger agreement. Accurate record-keeping of all részszámla issued and payments received is crucial for financial accounting and auditing purposes.
