The Project field is available if the Project Costing functionality is turned on on the Administration > Settings > Project Costing form. You can link the tax invoice with a project from the list of available projects. If the items in this tax invoice are associated with different projects and you need to specify different projects for different items, you can move the Project field from the Main tab as a column to the table on the Inventory and Services tab. For this, use the Settings button on the toolbar (for more information, see Document Toolbar).
If the Enable Project Tasks option is selected on the Administration > Settings > Project Costing form, you can link the entire document with a specific project task or document's line items with multiple project tasks. By default, the Project Task column is available on the Inventory and Services tab. If needed, you can move it as a field to the Main tab. For this, use the Settings button on the toolbar.
The Summary check box is available only for the Sale transaction type. If you need to create one tax invoice for multiple invoices, select the Summary check box—this removes the Basis field and brings up the Basis tab where you can create a list of invoices. If the Summary check box is cleared, you will be able to add only one invoice to this tax invoice.
In the Entity field, select an entity of your company for which this document is being prepared. The Entity field is available if the Multi-Company Accounting option is selected on: Administration > Settings > General Settings. You can select your personal default entity to appear in documents; for this, refer to Personal Settings. If you have not selected your default entity, the entity defined first will be used as the system default value.

A string below the Basis field (not displayed if Advance is the transaction type)—on the screenshot above, Basis Currency: AED—indicates the currency of the document selected as the basis. In case the basis document is not in the national currency, this string also shows the exchange rate of this currency with respect to the national currency, and then, on the Inventory and Services tab, the item and VAT amounts will be shown in both currencies. The exchange rate to be used for amount conversion must be equal to the rate published by the UAE Central Bank for the date of the supply. For details, see Currencies.
In the Related to field that appears for the Other transaction type, specify the document of any type that is related to this tax invoice.
