For customers without credit accounts, they require proforma invoices. So that we can be paid before processing an order. It would be good if 

• Scrap the Proforma Sales order, as you cannot convert only to a sales order, but this is just duplication, as for a proforma you require a proforma invoice and then conversion to a VAT invoice, the current process causes so many duplications 

Idea Is the following processes 

1. Raise Customer a proforma
2. Once Customer has paid this can be converted to a sales order
3. Despatch Sales order as normal (allocate stock and despatch)
4. Once despatched this will convert the original proforma invoice to a VAT invoice for the customer

This will stop multiple transaction as currently when you have a proforma sales order you have to duplicate it as a proforma invoice, then if you are to convert the proforma sales order to a Sales Order this will then have stock allocation and and despatched, this will create an invoice, but you still have a proforma on the list of invoices for the same transaction
