What should a proforma invoice look like? 

A proforma invoice usually includes the following details:

• Date of issue 

• Contact details 

• A description of the goods and services you provide 

• The price of goods and services you provide 

• Sales tax and any other taxes or fees that apply 

• Applicable shipping costs 

• Total Amount due

 


What are the important points to consider before creating a pro forma invoice?

 There are three important points to keep in mind when creating a pro forma invoice: 

• Pro forma invoices are typically stored as accounts receivable.

• This simply means you can prepare it to monitor the payments you receive.

• Proforma invoices are used in place of certain invoices.

• This must be recorded as the original invoice and the customer must not pay on this basis.

• Another important point is that this type of invoice and QuickBooks payroll are not the same.

• This means that you, as a seller, do not have to make payments to your customers.
