How do Tax Types apply to a Work Order?

To view how Tax Types apply to work orders, open any generated work order.

On the work order, to the right of the ‘Invoices’ field, click on “Add”. The Invoice pop-up window will appear.

Enter the necessary invoice information. If you associated the Tax Type default on the Facilities grid, you will automatically view that information in the “Tax 1” or “Tax 2” field.
