Common questions

Is a proforma a real invoice?

No. It is a request for payment in advance or a preview of the final bill. Send a normal invoice once the work is done.

How do I take the deposit off the final invoice?

On the final invoice, enter the amount under "Deposit already paid". It shows the deposit and the balance due.
