Spanish term or phrase: recibo

Term in this case comes from an Iberian Spanish text for an application designed for a food company, and there are a number of terms for methods of payment (giro, contado, etc.) One term is giving me trouble and it's "recibo", which here is not a receipt of payment but rather a method of payment defined in the following terms by the client:

"El recibo no sé bien cómo traducirlo: se genera la factura del cliente y, en el plazo acordado, el cliente debe pagarla completa haciendo él mismo una transferencia bancaria".

Any ideas as to what this method may be in English?

Many thanks in advance

invoice

Explanation:
Here's the thing; an invoice is usually "factura", and "recibo" is usually receipt, but informally, a lot of people say "recibo" when they really mean an invoice.

"I'm not quite sure how to translate "receipt": the customer’s invoice is generated and, within the agreed period of time, the customer must pay the invoice in full by bank transfer".

bill

Explanation:
It is an invoice of sorts, of course, but in Spain it is a term usually used in the case of utiities, which in English are normally refered to as bills rather than invoices.

9 hrs confidence:

warrant

Explanation:
The discussion entry of a direct debit is a start, though the standard translation of our mutual Spanish Network for about 40 years had translated 'recibo' as a bill or invoice.

Without the actual context, it looks like this query: gallego species is acting like an account balance payable by warrant, rather than a straight invoice, as in '...se genera la factura del cliente...'

Otherwise, 'when in doubt, translate as a docket or warrant'.

Example sentence(s):

In financial transactions, a warrant is a written order by one person that instructs or authorises another person to pay a specified recipient a specific amount of money or supply goods at a specific date.
Account statements can be thought of as a summary of the account and include statements of services provided, fees charged, and money owed.
