Use this form to specify the ledger accounts to use for posting project transactions in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

If you are using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 or cumulative update 6 or later for AX 2012 R2, you can associate a sales tax group with a revenue account. When you post project invoices, the project revenue is posted to the selected revenue account. This helps you track sales revenue by tax rate, and then report the taxable sales by tax group to the tax authorities.

In cumulative update 7 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, you can also use this form to set up the ledger accounts that are used to post intercompany transactions for projects. When resources and products from a legal entity in your organization are used in a project for a related legal entity, the intercompany costs and revenue are posted to the selected accounts.
