Answer given:

"This sounds to me like a bill that is produced at intervals for an ongoing commercial relationship, so every so often purchases made up to the latest billing point are added up and the latest bill is produced.

I would have expected "arrêtée la présente facture" - and I would probably translate it as "current invoice total" or "invoice total up to and including [date]"
