Field Description
Use Originating Vendor

This check box applies only if the Enable Originating Vendor for Employee Expenses and AP Vouchers option is selected on the Tax Auditing tab in Settings > Accounting > Company.

Select this check box to generate the tax file based on the originating vendors rather than the real vendors entered for the transactions. Any tax data for the real vendors will instead be applied to the originating vendor that is associated with the transaction. (The Originating Vendor feature is an optional feature that allows you to enter originating vendors for line items for accounts payable vouchers, accounts payable disbursements, and employee expenses that are entered in the Transaction Center, and for expense reports that are entered in Time & Expense.)

Vendor Select this check box to include tax data for accounts payable/vendor transactions in the file. Use the Vendor lookup to select one or more vendors to include in the file. If you check the box and do not make a selection, all vendors will be included in the file.
Employee Select this check box to include tax data for employee expense and expense report transactions in the file. Use the Employee lookup to select one or more employees to include in the file. If you check the box and do not make a selection, all employees will be included in the file.
Project Select this check box to include tax data for a project's invoice transactions in the tax file. Use the Project lookup to select one or more projects whose associated billing clients you want to include in the file. If you check the box and do not make a selection, all projects will be included in the file.
