Number of invoice line items per receipt

This measure calculates the number of invoice line items per receipt. An invoice line item is a single entry on an invoice. For example, an invoice for 10 red books at $1.00 each, and 20 blue books at $3.00 each, would be considered to have two invoice line items. This measure is part of a set of Supplemental Information measures that help companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for "process accounts receivable (AR)" process.
