How to write a machinery proforma invoice
A machinery proforma invoice quotes a high-value piece of equipment before the sale, often for an overseas buyer arranging finance or a letter of credit. The spec, Incoterms and staged payment terms all belong on it because the order is large and shipped internationally.

Frequently asked questions
What should a machinery proforma invoice include?
The machine spec and options with prices, the Incoterms, HS code and origin, the staged payment terms, and the estimated total and validity. Buyers use it to arrange finance or a letter of credit, so the spec and terms must be exact.
Why staged payments?
High-value equipment is usually paid in stages — a deposit to confirm, the balance before shipment — so neither side is over-exposed. State the split clearly on the proforma.

What is the difference between a proforma invoice and an invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary, good-faith estimate sent before the sale is final — it is not a demand for payment and not a tax invoice. A commercial (final) invoice is issued once the goods or services are delivered, and that is the document the buyer pays and books against.
Turn your proforma into a paid invoice
A proforma confirms the deal before it is final. When the order is on, the Invoices Tracker turns it into a real invoice and keeps your clients, payments and what is still owed in one place.
