My client is looking for to send customers a prepay Invoice or a Proforma Invoice.  Basically Enter an SO and generate an invoice, and once payment arrives they will process shipment and invoice. I set them up using credit terms with prepayment required and it works great. My question is if there is a way to do proforma invoices? I’m thinking I can create a second version of the sales order acknowledgement form and make it look like an invoice. Any other ideas?

That is what I generally suggest copy the Sales Order form and change the Title to say Proforma and add is as an Action to the Sales Order to Print/Email it.

Haha true @PatrickSchlenker90 I had to double check since I’ve seen pro forma functionality on other modules such as project so I wasn’t sure if it was a less common feature for sales orders.

​@dcomerford Good morning. I know the post is a bit dated but could you walk me through your setup? We are looking to achieve the same out coome as you did. Currently our process of creating an appoint to bill for prepayments are causing tax payment obligation issues and a cumbersome process when trying to get accurate reporting.

​@lewisad Not sure i follow what you are asking as all the solution is, is to add a new action on the Sales Order that prints the Sales Order with the Title of Proforma on it.

​@dcomerford In-terms on if a new order type has to be created and then associated with the edited SO form?

​@lewisad You could do but you dont need to.

Create New Printed Form (copy sales order form and modify what you need)

Add new action to Sales Order and point to form above
