Etymology
The word is a loan into Arabic, taken from Italian "fattura" or French "facture", both meaning a bill of goods. The European forms descend from Latin "factura", "a making" or "workmanship", from the verb "facere", "to make". Arabic reshaped it with the feminine ending, and it settled as the standard term for a commercial invoice.
