Required for fee taxable fixed fee/contract billing.
Note: if this is the first time you are billing this job, click the Compute Tax button (on the Main tab) to default the Tax Authority lines on the Taxes tab.
Note on Sales Tax and Billing Items: Sales Tax is a job-level calculation. Sales Tax assignment doesn't try to be Billing Item specific. The Tax Line's Cost Code is set by looking for the Cost Code marked as Default for AR Post = True. If an 'AR default' isn't found, SQL retrieves a Cost Code at random (probably the one with the smallest jbcstcde_rn) and sets the Tax Line's Cost Code from that.
