German term or phrase: die Proforma-Rechnung liegt in der Klinik auf
Bin gerade über eine komische Formulierung gestolpert, die ich mir nicht erklären kann:

"Die Proforma Rechnung liegt in der Klinik AUF bzw. wird mit der Sendung an die Klinik verschickt, und wird bei Biopsieentnahme unterschrieben und mit dem aktuellen Datum versehen zum Paket gelegt."

Kann mir jemand erklären, was damit gemeint ist??

Danke ;-)

English translation:the pro forma invoice will be available at the clinic
Explanation:
the pro forma invoice will be at the clinic / will be found at the clinic / will be available at the clinic or will be sent with the delivery to the clinic .. and then after the biopsy it is put with the package.

It clearly is a pro forma invoice and not a "standard charge", because the context makes clear that we are talking about a piece of paper and not a physical amount of money.

But maybe I haven't fully understood what aspect of this is puzzling you - do you want to clarify the problem any further?
