    Hi Tom, I did an "Ask Jeeves" and found this for "pro forma": 

    1 : made or carried out in a perfunctory manner or as a formality 

    2 : provided in advance to prescribe form or describe items <pro
    forma invoice> 

    I guess "provided in advanced" has come to apply not just to the
    invoice but to payment as well, at least in the world of wholesale.
