Proforma Invoice Delete Option Field For Free

The pro-forma invoice is issued before sales takes place. Once after receiving pro-forma invoice from the supplier, the buyer sends a purchase order or opens a letter of credit to the supplier.

However, the difference is, the origin: the seller prepares and sends a proforma invoice to the buyer. When it comes to a purchase order, it's the buyer (and its accounts payable department) who issues and sends it to the seller and uses the document for invoice matching when disbursing payment.

Proforma applies to invoices that are not yet completed which means that the invoices do not have an invoice number that is needed for every legal invoice. Unlike an invoice, a proforma invoice is an estimate or a quote that outlines the goods and services that a seller commits to selling.

The commercial invoice is more like the legal document of the actual sale. This document is used to record the AR for the seller and AP for the buyer. In some countries, a proforma invoice is accepted in lieu of commercial invoice to process import customs procedures to release cargo out of the country.

You cannot cancel an proforma Invoice. This is equivalent to cancelling an proforma invoice.

As a proforma invoice is not a legally binding document, or the official invoice used for accounting, they do not need to be cancelled. Similarly to a quotation document, if the sale does not go ahead, no action is required to edit or cancel the proforma invoice.

You cannot cancel the proforma but you can change the status of the same. Go to VF02, give the proforma reference and select "Billing document -- Complete". By doing so, the status would change to "Cancelled".
