On the Line details FastTab, on the Tax information tab, in the Service field group, the Recoverable/Expense on tax settlement check box is selected by default. A selected check box indicates that the service tax is posted to the recoverable account or expense account only when the tax is settled. You can clear the check box if a service tax is not applicable for the selected item.
In the Service code field, select the service code that is attached to the item of type Service.

Inward – Select this option when you purchase goods from a vendor.
Inter unit or input – Select this option either when you transfer goods between two units within your legal entity, or when you transfer goods from the legal entity to a subcontractor for additional processing.

Others – Select this option for other service categories. The input tax amount for this category is posted to the expense account instead of the recoverable account or the interim recoverable account.
