It is fine to use both of these words interchangeably.

hello,
in a sense they are the same but, I guess these words are merely used by the doer (i.e. billing coordinator / assustant / etc.) in preparing the account / charges of the recipient (i.e. client / billed party). if you are the one being billed, or asking the specific amount, it's always recommended to use "BILL"
ex: 'how much are you going to bill me for the overdue?'
in this case, "INVOICE" is less appropriate.
:)

"invoice" is a sales slip given by seller to purchaser of goods showing all the particulars of a sale
"Bill" is a charge for goods and services.

It is almost the same, but for businese use invoice, for personal use bill.
For example:
I have a lot of bills to pay (personal, don't use invoice)
I have submitted your invoice to the account payable department. (business, don't use bill)
