Create a pro forma invoice
POST/api/v1/documents/proforma
Issue a pro forma invoice — the document a buyer asks for before paying by bank transfer.
The body is the same Canonical Invoice Model payload POST /invoices takes, so a
connector builds it once. Fields that only make sense for a document going onto
the network (delivery_channel, document_format) are ignored: nothing is
transmitted, so there is no channel to honour.
This is not a tax document. It is never sent over Peppol, never reported to a tax authority, never appears in a tax report, never consumes a number from your invoice sequence and never counts against your plan allowance. The PDF carries no QR code, no invoice UUID and no "tax invoice" wording in any language, and it says plainly that no VAT is due on it.
The document is numbered from your own pro forma sequence (PF-2026-00001),
which restarts each calendar year and is independent of both your invoice numbers
and your delivery notes.
