Document types allow you to configure the documents managed in the inventory area.

To create a document type, follow these steps:

1. Go to **Settings | General | Document Types**;
2. In the list of document types, click on **Create**;
3. On the creation screen, fill in the document type details:
  - **Document Type**;
  - **Description**;
  - **Type**;
  - **Is Default**: select to set the document type as the default type;
  - **Remarks**.

> [!WARNING]
> When creating document types, it is important to bear in mind that, for each document type, there must be one, and only one, default document type.
