 =====Creating and Modifying Terms=====

 This page details how to enter and modify the codes found under the **Codes & Terms > Terms** menu. Besides the basic function of allowing you to use a code to identify and pull in text on contracts, invoices, traffic forms, and other CATS documents, several of these codes have special actions in CATS. Each of these functions will be explained briefly below.
-<note>Keep in mind that you may not need to consider all special functions depending on your company's usage of CATS.</note>

 **Language for Contract Conditions** - If nothing is entered here, CATS will use the **Description** field instead to populate the **Terms** field of the contract confirmation. \\
 **Language for Contract Type** - If you choose to associate the terms with a contract template (see above), you can choose the language to appear here. So if you associated this term with the CIF contract confirmation template, you could write ''**CIF Contract**'' and it would show up on the contract confirmation.
-====Shipment Terms Usage====

-===Mark to Market Pricing===
+Shipment terms codes can affect other areas of CATS.
+===Mark to Market Pricing===
 Shipment terms are used by CATS to determine how material will be valued. If an item is entered as FOB, then no further calculations are required to determine the market value of that item, if your system setup uses FOB valuation of open contracts. This is a system setting.

 ===Insurance Reports===
 The shipment terms can also affect what items are shown on the Marine and Warehouse insurance reports. This is a system setting.
