To make sure that sales tax is calculated on all journal transactions that are posted to ledger accounts, you can set up a default item sales tax group for all ledger accounts and, if necessary, set up default item sales tax groups for particular ledger accounts. Any default item sale tax group that appears automatically on a journal line can be changed as appropriate before the transaction is posted.

Note Note

In sales journals, purchase journals, and other journals where you enter an item number, the item sales tax group that is attached to the item is automatically entered on the journal lines.
