Proforma (PI)

Pre-invoice issued before payment; PCB Power needs 100% advance against it.

How it looks

Drawing
A PCB POWER ORDERquoteproforma (PI)pay 100%production
The PI is the bill you pay before anything is made.

How it works

  1. The fab sends a quote for the boards.
  2. On acceptance they issue a proforma invoice (PI): an invoice issued before the sale is final.
  3. PCB Power needs 100% advance payment against it; production starts after the money arrives.

Where it fits

Comes after the fab has accepted our files (any EQs answered) and before the spin starts.
