Regenerate Taxes Utility in Microsoft Dynamics GP

What does the Regenerate Taxes Utility do in Microsoft Dynamics GP?

(Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Utilities >> Company >> Regenerate Taxes)

The purpose of this tool is to update transactions in work status if the Tax Detail ID has been changed since the transactions were keyed.  This utility will apply the changes to the Tax Detail ID to the transactions in work status so you don't have to delete and rekey them. 

You can use this feature on the following modules:

• Sales Order Processing (SOP)
• Receivables Management (RM)
• Purchase Order Processing (POP) – Invoicing  (Note:  Taxes are not regenerated for purchase orders in the Purchase Order Processing module.)
• Payables Management (PM)
