Step by Step

Open the Generate Web Keys window (BT> Utilities> Generate Web Keys).
The Selection Criteria section is used to filter the businesses that will be included in the generate tool by the tax type and status associated with the business.
- If web keys are generated without specifying a tax type or a status, the tool will generate web keys for all existing businesses that are not already assigned a web key.
Enter a Tax Type or click the field label to select one from a list.
- Tax types are used to group taxes together and are associated with businesses on the Business Maintenance window (BT> Maintenance> Business> Tax Type tab). Click here for information on Business Maintenance.
- Tax types are created and maintained on the Tax Type Maintenance window (BT> Maintenance> Tax Type). Click here for information on Tax Type Maintenance.
- If a tax type is not selected, the tool will generate web keys for all eligible businesses that are assigned the status specified to the right.
Enter a Status or click the field label to select one from a list.
- Statuses are user-defined status codes that are used to define the current status of a business. Businesses are assigned a status on the Business Maintenance window (BT> Maintenance> Business> General tab> Status field).
- Statuses are created and maintained on the Status Maintenance window (BT> Maintenance> Status). Click here for information on Status Maintenance.
- If a status is not selected, the tool will generate web keys for all eligible businesses that are associated with the tax type specified to the left.
