CATS provides several methods for managing claims in CATS. These methods are detailed in this document.

You can use a washout invoice if you have not yet paid for the material from the supplier. Here are the steps to processing a claim in this way.

1. Create a Sale Claim contract, with the supplier as the Buyer.
2. Allocate the material on the purchase to this sale claim.
3. Create a washout type invoice. Pick the claim inventory on this invoice. Adjust the invoice as needed to reflect amount due and weight received.

Use a Claim invoice if:

• You do not want to create a contract for the opposite side.
• You have already paid for material.
• You are filing a claim against a party other than the supplier or buyer.
