Tax Code fields	If the Enable tax auditing feature option is selected for the company in Company Receiving Intercompany Voucher, you can select up to three tax codes to be used for intercompany vouchers for that company. Tax codes are optional, even if tax codes are specified in the Invoice group box. If both companies involved are in the same tax jurisdictions, you can specify the same tax codes for each. If they are not, you may prefer to not specify tax codes for intercompany vouchers, and let Vision post all tax expense for those vouchers to a single tax expense account. If the intercompany invoice includes a tax for which there is no corresponding tax code specified for the intercompany voucher, the tax amount is posted to the account that you specify in Tax Expense Account on the Subledger Terms tab, rather than to a debit account associated with a tax code. You can also have different numbers of tax codes for invoices and vouchers. For example, if you specify tax codes A and B for invoices but only tax code A for vouchers, Vision posts the tax expense amount for tax code A to the debit account for that tax code and posts the tax expense for tax code B to the account in Tax Expense Account. If you are using a reverse charge tax code for intercompany AP vouchers, leave the corresponding Tax Code field blank in the Invoice section on this tab. A "corresponding" tax code means that if, for example, you enter a reverse charge tax code in the second Tax Code field in the Voucher section, you must leave the second Tax Code field in the Invoice section blank. In the Tax Code fields in the Voucher section on this tab, enter up to three reverse charge taxes for intercompany AP vouchers. The corresponding Tax Code fields in the Invoice section are disabled after you add reverse charge tax codes in the Voucher section. For more information, see the Reverse Charge Taxes for Intercompany AP Vouchers topic.
Tax Expense Account	Click and select a tax expense account for intercompany vouchers. This account is only used if the intercompany invoice includes a tax for which there is no corresponding tax code specified for the intercompany voucher. In that case, the tax amount is posted to this account rather than to a debit account associated with a tax code. The account must be compatible with the project's Charge Type. For example, if the project is an overhead project, the account must be an indirect or overhead account.
Bank	From the drop-down list, select the bank on which the intercompany voucher accounts payable check is to be drawn.
AP Liability	From the drop-down list, select the accounts payable liability code to use for the intercompany voucher. You must select a liability code that is mapped to the Intercompany Accounts Payable account.
Payment Currency	If you use Multicurrency, this field displays the voucher's payment currency. The Bank's bank code determines the currency in which the intercompany voucher accounts payable check will be drawn. During bank code setup, you specify an account for which a currency has been specified. This is the payment currency.
Exchange Override Rate	If you use Multicurrency and the Payment Currency differs from the Billing Currency, you can enter the exchange override rate to be used to exchange amounts from the functional currency of the invoicing company to the payment amount.
