2 The invoice Package

The invoice package was conceived in late 2000 when the author had to dig through a truly aweful pile of expense bills without having a L^{A}TEX 2εcapable spreadsheet (or any spreadsheet) available. After several miscalculations with a pocket calculator due to forgotten entries or double entries the idea came up to have L^{A}TEX 2ε do the calculation work. As such, the package in its present stage is highly specialized with regard to the documents it generates. The invoice package is basically a tailor-made solution for a consultant who charges fees and claims all sorts of expenses, sometimes working on different assignments for the same client.
