Quotation → Proforma → Invoice: the B2B document flow

In Indian B2B sales, three documents work together in sequence. The Quotation is the first contact — an informal offer with pricing. The Proforma Invoice follows once the buyer agrees in principle — a formal commitment used for advance payment. The Tax Invoice (GST Invoice) comes last — the legal document after goods ship or services complete.

What to include in a strong quotation

Business name + GSTIN (if registered), customer name + address, quote number, date, items with HSN/SAC code and quantity + rate, taxes clearly broken out (CGST+SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state), total in words, validity period, terms of payment and delivery.

FAQs

Is a quotation legally binding?

Not strictly. It's an invitation to offer. Once the buyer confirms (by email or PO), a contract forms. Keep validity to 15-30 days to protect against price changes.

Should I charge GST on a quotation?

Show GST clearly if you're registered. Buyer needs it for budgeting and ITC claim.

What's the difference between quotation and proforma invoice?

Quotation is informal "here's what it'd cost". Proforma is formal "commit — pay the advance, I'll ship". Both are pre-sale, but proforma is a step further.
