======How can I use Use Tax Accrual with Project Accounting?====== 

I need accrued tax to be included in the Forecasting window's Total Cost.

Tax accrued in the background by DynamicZip is not automatically added to a project's cost. 

However, the steps below may provide a functional workaround for updating a project's cost to include tax on purchases.

  - Create a Vendor card for the tax owed to the state. **NOTE:** Do not use a Tax Schedule ID for this Vendor.
  - Create a Cost Category for non-inventory Purchases/Materials.
  - Add the Cost Category to your project.
  - For every Purchase Order Transaction:    
    - Enter a second purchase order for the new tax Vendor.
    - Enter or lookup the appropriate Project Number.
    - Enter or lookup the new Cost Category.
    - Enter a non-inventory item for the accrued tax.
    - Use a quantity of 1 and set the Unit Cost equal to the amount of tax accrued in the original purchase order. 
  - After posting the Purchase Invoice for the tax you should see the tax included in the Total Cost field on the Forecasting window.
