Proforma Invoice Replace Digital Signature For Free

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.

Like a regular invoice, proforma invoices should include contact details, a date of issue, a description of the goods or services provided, the total amount due, and any VAT. They might also include payment terms such as which methods of payment you accept and when payment is expected.

Note: only after a pro forma invoice is converted into a true invoice will its value be registered in your account. This is because, until that point, there is no guarantee the customer will agree to your terms.

A proforma invoice is also sent to a customer before your products are delivered or your services provided, but it is considered more binding than a quotation although not legally binding like a completed invoice.

It is very common these days for companies to send unsigned letters, invoices, etc, claiming the document is 'computer generated' and, hence, does not require any signature.

Whereas the proforma invoice is like a quotation, is not legally binding and is sent before the sale and details have been confirmed. A sales invoice can also serve as a tax invoice, since it includes VAT/GST and other taxes. The final sales invoice can be used to reclaim VAT/GST.
