Proforma vs final invoice
A proforma shows expected charges before goods ship or work completes. Exporters use it for customs valuation. Sellers use it to request deposits. It is not usually a substitute for a tax invoice after supply.
What to try next
When goods ship or work completes, issue the final bill with the main invoice tool and reference this proforma number.
