What is a proforma invoice?

A proforma invoice is an introductory bill that is created by the supplier for the committed client asking for the advance payment of the product. A proforma invoice includes all the details in the invoice like name and description of the product or service, quantity, rate, and total amount of the product.

A proforma invoice is created after the quotation and before an invoice. Also, don’t consider a proforma invoice as a real invoice. It is just used for the advance payment of the invoice and kept for internal purposes only.

Why use a proforma invoice template?

Although a proforma invoice is not considered a real invoice in accounting still it holds an important place as it establishes the scope and clarity of a product or service.

Important Details - A proforma invoice includes all the important information in an invoice but as mentioned before the invoice is created once the proforma invoice has been shared with the client. So here the client knows what to expect.

Advance Payment - Proforma invoice is used as an advance payment for the work that is likely to be done in the near future. So the seller most of the time gets the payment before the start of the work which is good for the seller.

Easy Invoicing Process - Once the proforma invoice is approved by the client and payment is made for the proforma invoice, now it becomes easy for a seller to create an invoice from the already created invoice. If you are using Refens invoicing software, then you can create an invoice with a single click of an already created proforma invoice, thus helping you to save tie and effort.

Expectation - The buyer won’t get surprised by seeing the invoice as the seller has already sent them the proforma invoice so the buyer knows what to expect from the seller and the product or service and at what time.

How to Use a Proforma Invoice Template?

There are 2 ways to create a proforma invoice.

Offline mode
Online mode

In offline mode, you have to create a proforma invoice template in Word or Excel and then add the information required for your needs. This will take you more than a day if you are creating the proforma invoice from scratch.

And Also especially if you are creating the template in Word then you have to manually add the calculation of the proforma invoice as Word can not add the calculation automatically.

Moreover, You have to always duplicate the previous proforma invoice to create a new one and also you have to search for the proforma invoice if it gets finalized to create an invoice.

This method is both time-consuming and has lots of human effort.

In the online method, you can directly download the proforma invoice template from any of the websites and can start editing the proforma invoice. But in the end, you will again have to download the proforma invoice every time you have to create a new proforma invoice.

And again you have to search for the proforma invoice in your computer folder if you want to convert a particular proforma invoice to an invoice.

And then there is one more method online, which is using a tool like Refrens proforma invoice generator.

Here you don’t have to create the proforma invoice template form from scratch, here all the fields are pre-defined for you. You just have to fill up all the important fields that you think are important for your business transactions and boom you are ready with your proforma invoice.
