Add goods and services to the pro forma invoice (standard items)

Standard items are those items that have a stock record in the Stock Control module, or are sales order items.

Stock items are not allocated to a pro forma until it is converted to a sales order. Therefore no checks are made when adding stock items, to determine whether there is enough stock available.

Note: If you are using sales order items, some options are not applicable.
