How do I explain my job when filling out a resume?

I work at a wholesale distributor, which means we deal in invoices (incoming and outgoing) rather than automatically-printed receipts for orders made. It is my job to type the orders into our accounting software so that I may add additional charges like freight before making a record of the order (I.E. printing an invoice). I am currently writing a general resume so that when I move to another city to attend another university, and I want to find a succinct word to describe my job (aside from "invoice-typer" or something which sounds inane) so that I can make less explanation under the "Responsibilities" header. I also answer the phones and occassionally take messages (we do have an automated voicemail), so I know I am additionally a receptionist, but it does not describe the key aspect of my job which is to type, check, and file all orders coming into the company.

1. I think "billing clerk" would be an appropriate title for what you do.
2. Invoice Clerk/Receptionist or just Invoice Clerk if you don't want to emphasize your reception experience.
