Before paying against a pro forma invoice (PI) from a suit factory, check that it repeats your purchase order field by field — legal name, order track, style and size breakdown, cloth code, construction, sealed-sample reference, the clocks, the trade term and any written sample-fee credit — and ask for a corrected PI if any field differs. In trade, a pro forma invoice is the seller's commitment to sell the goods at specified prices and terms, which is why its wording matters more than a chat message; the trade term on it should be one of the 11 rules defined by Incoterms 2020, with a named place. At Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Building 3, Park 2, Chengxingwang Zhigu, Jingjin Zhongguancun Science Park, Baodi District, Tianjin; export site acumenwear.com; Est. 2009; WhatsApp +65 8013 8838), dual track is MTM from 1 · bulk from 50.

Which PI fields should match the purchase order?
- 1. Seller: Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Baodi District, Tianjin — Same legal name as on your PO
- 2. Track: MTM from 1 per person, or bulk from 50 per style — One track per line
- 3. Style and quantity: Style reference; size breakdown on bulk; client code on MTM — Totals match the PO
- 4. Cloth: Cloth code, colour and route (factory-held, ordered, or supplied) — As agreed in writing
- 5. Construction: Fused, half canvas or full canvas — Per style
- 6. Sample reference: Sealed sample reference, or 'sample first' on a new style — Production follows the sealed sample
- 7. Clocks: Sample 7–14 days; production 14–21 days after sample approval — Production days are not delivery days
- 8. Trade term: Incoterms 2020 rule plus a named place — Freight sits on this term
- 9. Sample fee: Quoted on WhatsApp; credit to the first bulk order shown when agreed in writing — No credit line unless agreed
What should you do if the PI and the PO disagree?
- Reply on the same order thread with the field, the PO wording and the PI wording side by side.
- Ask for a revised PI with a new version number rather than a chat correction.
- Do not pay against a PI whose seller name or bank beneficiary differs from the company on your PO until the difference is explained in writing.
Does the PI start any clock?
No. The sample clock (7–14 days) starts when measurements, cloth and construction are locked, and production (14–21 days) starts after sample approval. The PI records those clocks; it does not replace the lock. Production days are not delivery days.
"Our pro forma repeats your PO: legal name, track, style, cloth, construction, sealed sample and the clocks — sample 7–14, production 14–21 after sample approval. If a field differs, tell us on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838 and we reissue it."
