"Bill" and "invoice" are both "factura." If you wish to specify the actual paper document you can say, "recibo de la factura."

Being very picky, here is the distinction:

"Dáme el recibo de la factura"......... (I am asking for a piece of paper)

"Pásame la factura"........... Send me the invoice (I could be asking for an email attachment).

So in your case it seems that you are issuing a new "factura" (an invoice) based on a "recibo de factura" sent to you (a bill)
