# Event Invoice Types

> Configure event invoice categories, line items, and directions

Open **Admin → Financials → Event Invoice Types**. This [Financials
Configuration](/financials/pages/financials-configuration) area defines the
event-side categories available on invoices and in Overview Reports.

## Two Structural Kinds

The page keeps two separate cards:

* **Loss/Recovery Invoice Types** carry reserves. Med-mal examples include
  Indemnity and ALAE.
* **Operating Invoice Types** do not carry reserves. Examples include coverage
  expense, claim handling fees, and deductible income.

An Invoice Type remains in the structural kind in which it was created; it
cannot be moved between the two cards. [Invoice Types and Line
Items](/financials/invoice-types) explains why reserve behavior is structural.

## Read and Edit States

Each card normally lists its Invoice Types and nested Line Item Types in read
mode. Select **Edit** on one card to edit that card only. While it is open, the
other card remains read-only; only one card can be edited at a time.

**Save** commits the card's changes and returns it to read mode. **Cancel**
discards that card's pending edits. There is no page-level save control. The
form keeps Save unavailable until every required name is present and every
Invoice Type has at least one Line Item Type.

## Names and Directions

| Item               | What Can Change                                               | Direction Behavior                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Invoice Type**   | Its displayed name can be changed in the card's edit mode.    | Loss/Recovery types use the **Loss/Recovery** direction established at creation. Operating types use **Expense/Income** and may be adjusted while editing. |
| **Line Item Type** | Its displayed name can be changed in the parent Invoice Type. | Its **Payable/Receivable** direction is selected while new and becomes write-once after it is saved.                                                       |

The page writes these directions into the available invoice choices. [Expected
Direction](/financials/expected-direction) describes how a configured direction
is used when entered activity differs from the expectation.

## Adding, Deprecating, and Restoring

Use **Add invoice type** to add a type to the current structural card, then add
its line item types with **Add line item**. New items must be named before the
card can be saved.

An unused type or line item can be deleted outright. A type or line item that
has been used by an invoice cannot be deleted; mark it deprecated instead. A
deprecated entry remains visible for historical records but is unavailable for
new selections. Use **Restore** to make a deprecated entry available again.

Configured types form the rows in the [Company Event Financials Overview
Report](/financials/pages/event-financials-page#overview-report) and the
[Event Financials Tab Overview
Report](/financials/pages/event-financials-tab#overview-report). They also
control the choices on [New Invoice](/financials/pages/new-invoice).
