  3. Navigate to Supplier Invoicing work center and select Invoice Entry.
  4. Choose New Invoice.
  5. Create invoice with parent company as Supplier.
  6. Enter charge-to company in the Bill-To field.

  9. Enter the Source Document ID in search tab to view the journal entries.

Result

Tax lines are available for journal entry of parent company, but not for the journal entry of charge-to company.
