An invoice presented by one company to another for payment for goods prior to their despatch. This method of invoicing is to ensure payment is received and is often the case when two companies have not traded before. If future trading is anticipated it will then be usual for an account to be set up for the purchasing company with credit facilities.
regarding the procedure please make the tax invoice and provide your buyer.
For advance against sales were received, we need to give proforma invoices only, and without receiving stocks how can they book under purchases, they should show it under advances to suppliers until and unless the stocks were received, tax invoice should be given at the time despatch and if you raise tax invoice, they can claim input duties now, but with out sale how can you remit your out put duties. So it is a question of answering your customers, they will definitely accept your version, if not advice them to contact their tax advisor in this regard.
