bills/invoices on open account


Explanation:
This means that a customer is simply billed for all goods and services rendered each month. It's the most common invoicing system for steady customers. Sometimes it's referred to as a running account. It is DEFINITELY NOT a pro forma invoice. A conto is a older Swedish term for löpande konto

on-account invoices


Explanation:
Several Google Hits for "on-account invoice".
"a conto" / "à conto" means "on account" and "fakturor" is the plural of "faktura" (= invoice).

I'm not really an expert on this, but I think they are different things. According to my English-Swedish dictionary
"pro forma invoice" is simply "proformafaktura" in Swedish.

Asker: Thank you Mark. A Polish/Swedish translator told me it means pro-forma invoices. Could she be correct?
