FRANCE. This appears in a list of billing software strings, the rest of which are in Spanish. It may be from Canada, I'm not sure. There is no further useful context. All the previous strings have been different types of invoice, but in Spanish. I think it may refer to a metered bill for utility services, but my French is rusty and I need confirmation.

invoice for metered services
Metered services (also called pay-per-use and consumption-based pricing) are any type of payment structure in which a customer has access to potentially unlimited resources but only pays for what they actually use. Metered services are becoming increasingly common in enterprise IT environment.

Comment: "Thanks to everyone for contributing on this query. I don't often have to translate French these days, but the other day I managed to give a couple of French tourists in Glasgow directions to the Hunterian Museum (where if I'm not mistaken, Napoleon's unmentionables can be seen pickled in a jar)..."

invoice for measured services
If there is no context, it's better to stick to a literal translation. 'Metered' or 'measured' services can refer to cloud services; see the link.

Well, you said you had no context, so you don't know if it's about utilities or something else.

Note from asker:
| I prefer "metered", and some sites (mainly Canadian) use the term to refer to bills for utility services, like electricity or water. Need confirmation though. |

From what i found, it seems like metered services are used to refer to a "traditional" public utility, such as electricity... and measures services apply to cloud computing.

"Measuring power used" is perfectly natural language. Metering is the process involved.
Lots of things are measured as part of a service, of course, for example building floor space, land area, etc.
