Invoice Classifications
are used to help you track invoices in a way that suits your studio. The invoice types in Spectra/Stratus cannot be changed because they each have a unique function as described below,
but you can create your own classifications. Go to Maintenance

The 6 Invoice Types #

There are a total of six invoice types in Spectra/Stratus, each with its own
unique functionality. Invoice types CANNOT be customized. Note: The kind of invoice you are creating — session, client or quick sale — will determine which invoice types are available. Here’s a brief description of the six types:

• Session Fee – Used to invoice the client for the fees pertaining to shooting a session. When printing
  an invoice for session fees, the invoice is printed as a session
  confirmation, providing the client with additional session information such as session
  date, time, and scheduled resources. Choosing this type provides specific session data for sales reports. 

• Initial Order – Used for the first order of products the client is purchasing from a session. Choosing this type provides key data for sales reports.

• Re-Order – Used for any additional product orders from a session. Choosing this type provides key data for sales reports.

• Generic – Used when you charge a client for fees or products that are not related to a session.

• Estimate – Provides a client with an estimate for products or services. Note: An estimate may be related to a client or a session (see chart below). Estimates
  can be converted to invoices — client estimate to client invoice, and
  session estimate to session invoice. Estimates are not included in your
  sales reports.

• Credit Memo – Used to give your client a credit
  for any reason. It can also be used to correct an invoice that may have
  been posted in error.
