The invoice object contains information held against an invoice record. This includes credit notes, too.
Invoice records in Current include both invoices and credits. Use the type object to determine whether you’re working with an invoice or credit.
Invoices and credit notes can be created manually, from an opportunity, or from a project. The link between an invoice and its sources is created on each invoice item.
