Hey Team, thanks for sharing this idea but right now Xero doesn’t have a dedicated pro‑forma invoice document type in Quotes or Invoices. We are moving this to Gaining Support so others can Vote and Comment.
The main workaround is to use a Quote as your pro‑forma (with wording like “Pro‑forma invoice – not a tax invoice” in the template), then convert the quote to an invoice only once the amount is confirmed and you’re ready for it to hit your accounts.
You can find more detail on how pro‑forma invoices work in our guide:

Hi team, we appreciate you continuing to share with us through this idea.
We’re now in development of a related quote-based workflow: Where your business will be able to set a deposit on a quote, and when it’s accepted, Xero will automatically create the deposit invoice and gives the customer an online way to pay.
Being open this feature will be triggered by an accepted quote; it doesn’t add a standalone proforma document or payments against a draft invoice.
While this is only with a limited small group of users at the moment, we’ll keep you updated on wider rollout, which will come in the new year.

We need proforma invoicing as we have multiple stage payments on each contract, having proforma invoices allows up to measure cash forecasting without the tax implications.
not having this as a major flaw

A quote based system isnt a profroma invoice! Why not just do what people are asking for and create a proper invoice option?
