Invoicing for motor mechanics

A proforma is a preliminary bill — intended parts, labour and price before the sale is final. It is generally not the GST document a customer uses for an input tax credit. A tax invoice is the billed sale document (wording, ABN, GST) that belongs on the books. This page is not tax advice. Save Invoice as a proforma commits spare parts (Committed up, Available down), does not decrement on-hand stock, and skips GST, receivables and journals. Saving a tax invoice moves stock and posts the sale.
