 <para>NOTE: Agreements can also be specified for Employment, Legal, Non

 <para>Agreement terms are configured by linking them to the Invoice
  Item Type.</para>
 <para>IMPORTANT NOTE: The drop down box for 'Invoice Item Type'
  contains what appears to be duplicates for items such as 'Invoice
  Fee', 'Invoice Discount', 'Invoice Finished Good Item' etc. These are
  NOT duplicates one of these entries refers to the Sales Invoice and
  the other refers to the Purchase Invoice. As the descriptions are
  exactly the same it is impossible to know which refers to which so
  needs to be done using trial and error!</para>
