Our project has been reviewd and following is the comment from USGBC
"Please provide documentation from manufacturers or suppliers that verifies product compliance with the specified sustainability criteria for a minimum of 20% of purchases by cost"
1) Do i have to provide the cut sheets of the products only or also the invoice scans for the purchased products?
2) We comply using 37% of the total purchase by cost.Do I have to give he total inventory and then show that we are using 37 % of products by cost?Is this detail required?

This is a common reviewer comment. You should provide the manufacturer cut sheets for at least 20% of the products that you are claiming meet the IEQc3.3 sustainability criteria. Make sure that the documentation clearly shows that the product meets the sustainability criteria. There is a column in the Credit Form tracking table labeled "Check if documentation provided". When you resubmit, make sure that this portion of the table is completed accurately; if so, the Credit Form will automatically calculate whether you have provided documentation for the appropriate percentage of your purchases.

Is it enough to include a print out of the Green Seal website that lists the certified products?

You can use screenshots of the Green Seal website as long as you somehow indicate the products that are actually being used at the project building by highlighting, underlining, circling, etc. Also, please make sure that the product name that you include in the LEED Credit Form precisely matches the information listed on the Green Seal website so that the LEED Reviewer can easily cross-check both lists.
