Before you start

Steps
Open Organization > Legal Entities.
Select Add a tax reporting unit.
In the window Tax Units fill in the fields below.

The window closes and the table shows the result.
TIP
A star after a field name means the screen requires it.
If something does not work
- The button "Add a tax reporting unit" is missing. You do not have the permission, or the page is not in your menu. See Access above.
- A list in the window is empty. The records it picks from do not exist yet.
- The window will not close or shows a message. Read the message: it names the field that is missing or not allowed.
