Convert a proforma invoice to a tax invoice or sales order
Quick answerIn MAJA Books open the proforma under Sales → Proforma and click Convert to Invoice (or choose Convert to Sales Order from the ··· menu) and confirm — MAJA creates and posts the tax invoice dated today with the proforma's lines, and marks the proforma Converted.
Steps
- Open MAJA Books and click Sales in the left menu, then Proforma.
- Click the proforma to open it.
- Click Convert to Invoice in the What's next? banner (it is also in the ··· menu).
- Read the confirmation — This creates a real invoice and posts it to your ledger, P&L and reports — and click OK.
To make a sales order instead, click ··· and choose Convert to Sales Order, then confirm.
What MAJA does for you
- Convert to Invoice creates a tax invoice with the proforma's lines, VAT and totals, dated today, numbered from your invoice series and saved as Sent. It posts the journal and moves tracked stock, exactly like a saved invoice, then opens the new invoice.
- Convert to Sales Order creates an open sales order dated today with the same lines. A sales order posts nothing.
- Either way the proforma is marked Converted.
Good to know
- The converted invoice's due date is set to today. If the customer has payment terms, open the invoice, click Edit and change Due Date.
- An advance received against the proforma is not applied automatically — on the new invoice click Apply Credits and choose the advance.
- If the proforma is already marked converted, MAJA asks before creating another invoice from it, to avoid duplicates.
- A proforma with no lines cannot be converted.
