I have supporting manufacturer documentation for the FSC wood used on our project. Is this enough to document this credit, or do I need invoices as well?

Yes, MDF can be sourced as FSC certified and can contribute to this credit. Make sure to purchase the MDF from an FSC certified supplier who can provide the MDF products with the required documentation: a sales document (invoice) which includes the supplier's FSC COC certificate code and the MDF product's FSC claims (likely either FSC Mix Credit or FSC Mix NN%).
