# Why doesn't the tax appear on a Purchase Order when it's exported as a PDF in ServiceTitan?

## Problem

When exporting a PO as a PDF in ServiceTitan, the tax does not show, even though all items are marked as taxable.

## Solution

Send the PO to your vendor, ignore the missing tax on the PDF, wait for the bill with tax and shipping costs, and then input the details in ServiceTitan.

### Display tax and shipping on the PO PDF

1. Go to the top toolbar and click **Settings ![A simple icon representing a settings gear. ](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-gnav-settings-inactive.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T11%3A20%3A43Z&se=2026-11-09T12%3A20%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Dy8z5RHCUMigWyH5TloZTop6lTvR3LIbwWLAzEPCwfg%3D)**.
2. In the side panel, go to **Purchasing > Configuration**.
3. In the *Purchase Orders* section, turn on the **Display Taxes and Shipping on Purchase Orders** option.
4. When finished, click **Save**.

After enabling the setting, generated PO PDFs will include *Taxes*, *Shipping*, *Subtotal*, and *Total* when printed or emailed.
