You can set the print size for your invoice and use less papers for printing. Printing invoices as per the print and paper sizes depends on your printer. The default height is set to 10 for an A4 paper. If your invoice requires only half the size, change the height to 5 inches and replace the printing paper with A5.

                          In a business, it is a common practice to share a Proforma Invoice before the sales invoice is issued. A proforma invoice helps a buyer to understand better the sale deal. It contains all the details related to the sale including the item, quantity, rate, payment terms, date of delivery and so on. Based on the proforma invoice the buyer can decide on any changes or propose a price negotiation, or early delivery date. The buyer needs to confirm and agree to all the details mentioned in the Proforma invoice. Once you receive the confirmation you can work towards the sale of goods or services and issue a final tax invoice.

                          A proforma invoice in TallyPrime is a printout of an optional sales voucher. Once you mark a voucher as Optional, it does not impact your books of accounts. The seller also issues a proforma invoice to get an advance payment.

                          1. Record optional sales vouchers.
