How to activate the profoma invoice functionality for preliminary billing documents

[SAPSupport]

I have the following questions:

1. Is it possible to activate the proforma invoice functionality (by choosing Billing Type F5 or F8) on the tile "Create
   Preliminary Billing Document"?
2. Is it standard/ allowed to create a Proforma invoice by using "Create Billing Document" tile instead?
3. Is it standard to not be able to cancel the Proforma invoice? What should we do if we release that the proforma is incorrect, meaning, how can we differenciate that the proforma created correctly from one created incorrectly?

Regarding the questions above, please kindly check:

1. Is it possible to activate the proforma invoice functionality (by choosing Billing Type F5 or F8) on the tile "Create
   Preliminary Billing Document"? No, pro forma invoices can only be created from Sales Orders and Deliveries.
2. Is it standard/ allowed to create a Proforma invoice by using "Create Billing Document" tile instead? Yes, the standard way to create a pro forma invoice is via Create Billing Documents app.
3. Is it standard to not be able to cancel the Proforma invoice? What should we do if we release that the proforma is incorrect, meaning, how can we differenciate that the proforma created correctly from one created incorrectly? There is no way to cancel a pro forma invoice, only complete it in VF02 app.
