Sales Tax Question - Canadian GST/HST

On July 1st Ontario and BC changed their Tax regimes away from Provincial Sales taxes to Harmonized Sales Tax.

We had no issues setting up Customers or Vendors with new schedules and details.

The PROBLEM was updating exisiting Orders in SOP...there were 500 of them!

I can successfully update records in SQL with new schedules but I could not get the documents to "recalculate" (i.e. get the Tax engine to run) easily.

Did any one find an "easy" way to do this? I think I could have done this with econnect, but we don't have it.

Thanks.

Tim

Christina,

Thanks for your reply. Macros were considered. The problem there was that each line on the order had to be "touched" since tax roll-down from the header "died" after Version 7 (?) and we have Canadian Tax details enabled which disables Tax edits at the summary (header) level. Scrolling windows are not easy to handle in macros. Also, large macros are not reliable in that they freeze for no apparent reason at certain points. I have experienced this frustration.

Hi Tim--

Have you thought about using a macro to run through and change the tax schedules, thereby activating the recalc?

Take care,

Christina
