Voucher on the other hand is for any transaction.
An invoice is either received from a supplier (for purchases or services) or issued to a customer (for sales or services). A voucher is an internal document...can be a payment voucher, receipt voucher or a journal voucher.
As per my knowledge, invoce is the document get from the external source or supplier to the company
where as vouchers are the documents used by company to pay the dues and bills to the other parties.
In hotels, the invoice is the final billing with total of charges and payments, but the voucher is not an invoice is like a purchase order sent from the agent when the customer come through the agent and in the end of customer stay we can print a final invoice for the agent.
