Create a proforma invoice (quotation)
Quick answerIn MAJA Books go to Sales → Proforma → New Proforma Invoice, choose the customer, set the proforma date and Valid Until date, add the lines with an account and VAT rate on each, and click Save & Send — a proforma posts nothing to the ledger until you convert it to an invoice.
Steps
- Open MAJA Books and click Sales in the left menu, then Proforma.
- Click New Proforma Invoice.
- Choose the Customer.
- Leave Proforma Invoice # as shown (the next number).
- Check Proforma Date (today) and Valid Until (14 days later by default).
- Choose Item Tax Preference and Discount Type, as on an invoice.
- Add the lines: Description, Account, Qty, Rate, VAT%. Click Add Line for more.
- Optionally fill Notes, Terms & Conditions (for example your advance-payment terms) and Attachments.
- Click Save & Send, or Save Draft to finish later.
What MAJA does for you
- MAJA numbers the proforma and saves it as Sent (or Draft). Nothing is posted to the ledger and no stock moves.
- The proforma opens with a What's next? banner offering Convert to Invoice.
- You can share or print it with Share and PDF/Print, like an invoice.
Track the customer's answer
- Open the proforma.
- Click the ··· (more) button and choose Mark as Sent, Mark as Accepted or Mark as Rejected. Each change is recorded in the document's history.
Good to know
- Every line must have an Account; otherwise MAJA says Please select an account for each line item.
- A customer deposit against the proforma is recorded under Payments Received as an Advance Payment, choosing the proforma in Against Proforma Invoice.
