04 November 2011 When you intend to buy something particularly from a vendor and need to make payment as advance Proforma Invoice is used as a valid supporting, it should be distinguised from the Quotation. PI is before Delivery of the Goods whereas actual Invoice is raised on/upon delivery of the goods or services usually as Credit payment terms, else Cashmemo.
