+You can use various types of invoices to allow you to manage your inventory, costs, and other items in CATS. You can control the default G/L numbers and cost codes for these types and determine if they are final, provisional, or other invoices.
+The invoice types are listed under **Accounting > Invoice Types**.

+<note warning>Check with New Data Systems before modifying or creating new invoice types.</note>
+====System Default Types====
+  * **Provisional** (price to be fixed) - An invoice for material with no final price.
+  * **Proforma** (weight to be fixed) - An invoice for material with no final weight.
+<note important>Use transaction code **''PP''** if you wish to be able to set a proforma percentage amount and show this as the amount due on the printed invoice. The full amount of the invoice will still post to the general ledger.</note>
+  * **Final** - An invoice for material with fixed weight and price. Can be made as the original invoice or created by “Updating” a proforma or provisional invoice.
+<note important>If you are using proformas that will be finalized, you should also create a type with transaction code **''AA''** for finalizations.</note>
+  * **Claim Invoice** - Special invoice for use with claims.
+  * **Commission** - Commission on sale or purchase invoices. This is not a separate invoice but a secondary charge on an inventory invoice. It has the same number as that of the inventory invoice.
+  * **Weight Adjustment** - Specialized invoice for noting lost bags or weight and calculating a new balance based on updated weight and/or units. Uses the weighing terms to find the franchise weight. Can only be made by “Updating” another invoice. Depending on your settings, weight and units on weight adjustment invoices may or may not be posted to the contract.
+  * **Vendor Purchase** - Vendor (cost) invoice that references  purchase contract items but does not involve inventory.
+  * **Vendor Other** - Vendor (cost) invoice that does not reference a contract item.
+  * **Vendor Sale Cost** - Vendor (cost) invoice that references  sale contract items.
+  * **Vendor Order** - A specific invoice type (VR) is required to use the vendor orders to generate a vendor invoice payable.
