Use-case checklist
What to include in a manufacturing order proforma invoice
Custom manufacturing often requires a preliminary invoice for deposit or internal approval before material is bought. The proforma should reference the specification and show tooling separately from repeat unit cost.
- manufacturer, buyer, project, and proforma number
- part, revision, specification, quantity, and unit price
- tooling, first article, quality, and material
- lead time, freight, currency, deposit, and balance
- validity, change control, and proforma statement

When this document is the right choice
