在以下语句中，“开”是“开发票”的意思吗？
“这批发货是最后一批对外开票”
"This shipment is for the last batch of international invoices"?
“钱需要用来补足前面少开的金额”
"The money needs to be used to make up for the deficiencies in the earlier invoices"?
如果是这样理解的话，那我又不明白了：开发票只是签发一张单据，为什么这些句子好像把“开”当成“要给钱”、“要开支票” 近似的意思？
谢谢！

“开”是“开发票”的意思吗？YES。 NO DOUBT
“这批发货是最后一批对外开票”
這句話是不正確的中文，需要找客戶澄清。 很顯然，“发货”是“开票” 这种結構有主语和賓語不当搭配的語病，語病会導致语意含糊或完全不知所云
“钱需要用来补足前面少开的金额”
"The money needs to be used to make up for the deficiencies in the earlier invoices"?
翻译正確。
开发票不僅是签字这一个动作，也包括填写資料等一系列动作，这个過程中可能出错，比如數字填写错误等
另外，INVOICE不是发票， 发票可能是RECEIPT

有没有可能如下：
“这批发货是最后一批对外开票”
"This shipment is to fill for the last batch of international orders"
这里的开票， 应是指 filling out the shipping bill for international orders. 开发货单， 如果确实， 那么英语为：
This shipping bill is for the last batch of international orders.
“钱需要用来补足前面少开的金额”
"(More )money is needed to cover the amount not listed (not charged/missed) on the previous invoice."
少开的金额=the amount missed, not charged (erroneously or for whatever reason)
receipt 是收据， 也有收据兼为发票的情形。
总觉得原文里的中英文都不属公务化规范语言， 而为口语化一类（双引号为据）。
