Nah. I would say "was". No one does that any more. Or at least no one 
should.

So that is the way to go. Or a table-valued parameter if you are on 
SQL 2008 or later.

Since you say "should", I assume that you have control over the design 
of the document. Attribute-centric XML is easier to deal with:

<ROOT>
  <INVOICE DOCNUMBER="A001" DATE="04.09.2012"
     <LINE PRODUCTID="1" AMOUNT="10" PRICE="5.25" />
     <LINE PRODUCTID="1" AMOUNT="10" PRICE="5.25" />
  </INVOICE>
</ROOT>

I also removed the <LINES> tag, because it serves no purpose.

To insert into the tables do:

DECLARE @t TABLE (ident     int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
                  docnumber nvarchar(30) UNIQUE)

INSERT invoice(docnumber, date)
   OUTPUT inserted.id, inserted.docnumber INTO @t
   SELECT Docnumber = T.c.value('@DOCNUMBER', 'nvarchar(30)'),
          Date      = T.c.value('@DATE', 'datetime')
   FROM   @xml.nodes('/ROOT/INVOICE') AS T(c)

INSERT invoicedetails (invoiceid, product_id, amount, price)
   SELECT t.id, 
          line.c.value('@PRODUCTID', 'int),
          line.c.value('@AMOUT', 'numeric(18,3)'),
          line.c.value('@PRICE', 'numeric(18,2)')
   FROM   @xml.nodes('/ROOT/INVOICE') AS T(c)
   JOIN   @t t ON t.docunumber = T.c.value('@DOCNUMBER', 'nvarchar(30)')
   CROSS  APPLY T.c.nodes('LINE') AS line(c)


By the way, I get an uneasy feeling when I see your table definition of 
invoicedetails and the sample data. What does it mean that two identical 
rows are inserted? Shouldn't (invoiceid, productid) be the primary key?
