On a screen with a table, how to identify a field code when I cannot click on the field?

Question

Hi, 
 Rookie developer question here. 
 This is on GESBIS, Screen code is: BIS3. 
 Other than identify through Description and make best effort guess on the field's code, is there a way for me to identify the field name's code which I cannot edit on? 
 I tried clicking on it and it lead me to the nearest editable section. When I use ESC-F6 or ask for field properties, it will show me the nearest editable section's code (in this case, the Purchase Type's field code), which is not the one I want.

You are making this too complicated 
 Try to add a new invoice. Use a legislation in SEED that does have tax codes, such as UK. Most of the profit and loss acounts will be subject to tax. 
 See example. 
 You can see the detail you want because the document is not created or posted. Once you have your information cancel the invoice before creation.

Try entering an account code that is set as "subject to tax" that will make the field editable. 
 You do need functional knowledge in order to know some of these foibles. 
 In the screen definition aren't the fields in the order of the columns?

If you can create a new invoice manually, you can select the field for entry: 
 
 And then escape+F6 to view the field info:
