Currently, Mews allows us to search for invoices and due invoices easily—but there’s no way to retrieve a specific proforma invoice that was sent or emitted. This creates major complications when reconciling bank transfers, especially if the booking was later modified and the amount changed. It often leads to time-consuming manual searches or, worse, having to ask guests to resend the proforma we originally issued.

Proformas have reference numbers—so why can’t we simply search them like other invoices? This feature is standard in most PMSs and would drastically reduce back-office friction.

Suggested solution:
Enable proforma invoices to be searchable by their number or guest name/date, just like final invoices. Ideally, include them in the “Dashboard” > “Invoices” list with a filter to distinguish them.

We shouldn’t have to do a full investigation to find what is the reason we received such and such amount in our accounts. This is a basic feature on most PMS. I am surprised Mews is so behind on this. Why do we even have counters if they don’t allow us to easily retrieve proforma invoices??

This is very critical for our reconciliation, because Deposits/ Proforma Invoices especially for groups can't be found in MEWS and they are also not in the Omniboost Report!

Urgent please!

Yes please! We need this as guests will use it to pay by bank transfer and there is no way to search the proforma invoice, making it almost impossible to know where to apply the payment.

please, update the topic

We use Proforma invoices to get pre-paid by companies and groups. When they pay per bank transfer they specify the Proforma number, but surprise! we are not able to find the proforma the payment is linked to. Please enable Mews to store Proforma Invoices !!!!!

I agree with @benoit Thewys

Indeed, the proforma code given by the proforma counter is not searchable. When our guests use it as payment reference, our accounting department is not able to find it back in the system. And they often cannot find it back using the name of the company as, very often, the guest is not the one who pays...

Proforma invoices are a great tool to provide customers with a projected price for any accommodation or services. After these are created and sent to guests, it is currently not possible to recover them for future reference. Rather, by using a proforma invoice tracker, these documents to be available by staff after initial creation as needed.
