invoice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bill' is the definition.
(I know that bill can be written as invoice)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for invoice that I've seen before include "Pollen holder" , "Document detailing costs - ready to sing (7;2,5)" , "Account; bill" , "Give account" , "List of goods supplied and request for payment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
