If you use multicurrency accounting, you must specify a currency code for each miscellaneous charge.

For each miscellaneous charge, you must also specify the tax authorities that levy taxes on the charge, and the applicable tax classes.

  • Determine the tax authority and tax class for each miscellaneous charge.
