What is a pro forma invoice?

At first glance, a proforma invoice may look like any other invoice. But despite the name, proforma invoices are closer in function to quotes or estimates. They are typically issued to clients you're negotiating a deal with to give them a better idea of the products or services provided and their respective and overall prices. 

 

Since the pro forma invoice is a purely informational document format, it is not legally binding. Meaning it can't be used to substitute a regular sales or commercial invoice.

recommended fields for a pro forma invoice

A proforma invoice template should include the term “Proforma Invoice” and the disclaimer “This is not a tax invoice”, along with the other usual information, meaning:

  • a unique invoice number

  • provider and customer company details (name, address, contact)

  • issue and due date

  • price and description of goods or services

  • how long the price is valid for

  • terms and conditions, or a link to a site detailing them

  • payment terms (to inform how the payment process will work)

  • VAT (to inform the expected tax amount)

Pro forma vs regular sales invoice

A sales invoice is a legally binding financial document detailing the services or products provided, their description, respective prices, and overall payment amount. It's used to request payment from a customer and confirm a successful transaction.

On the other hand, a proforma invoice is purely informational and not legally binding. Although it details much of the same information, it has to include the term “Proforma Invoice” and the disclaimer “This is not a tax invoice”. Pro forma invoices are used to outline the specifics of a proposed deal.
