Mechtilde,

Invoice customization is handled with stylesheets; the GUI to edit them is found in Edit>Style Sheets and documented at http://gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-help/change-style.html.

$GNC_DOT_DIR/saved-reports-2.4 holds customizations made with a report's Options dialog and saved with  Save Report Configuration or Save Report Configuration As. I don't think that's what you want.

If stylesheet customization isn't enough then you'll have to write a custom Invoice report. The best, or maybe least-bad, documentation for that is at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports. Since it requires coding in Scheme I'm not sure that it's a good candidate for documenting in the manuals.
