We planned to publish this Invoices Creator template last year. But, several projects have delayed the completion of this particular excel template. I used different approach on creating this template compared with many other excel invoice templates you might find in other places. But, it is still following the concept of an invoice, as a commercial document issued by seller to a buyer, relating to sale transaction and indicating the services, products, quantities, and agreed prices. It consists of payment term and due date as agreed by both parties.
