Physical / electrical concepts
Proforma (PI)
Pre-invoice issued before payment; PCB Power needs 100% advance against it.
How it looks
Drawing
The PI is the bill you pay before anything is made.
How it works
- The fab sends a quote for the boards.
- On acceptance they issue a proforma invoice (PI): an invoice issued before the sale is final.
- 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.
