# What does Refresh do (formerly Rebuild or Reprocess)? Why won't my settlements update?

How Refresh (formerly Rebuild or Reprocess) reads a settlement or payout again with your current mappings and settings, and when you need it.

**Refresh** reads a settlement or payout again from its source and applies your current mappings and settings. Entries already sent are not changed. Refresh was called Rebuild, and before that Reprocess.

## When to refresh

-   You changed a setting that Taxomate applies at import, for example **Group sales by** in **Settings > Invoice**, or a setting in **Settings > Inventory**. A settlement that is not sent yet keeps its old numbers until you refresh it.
    
-   You changed a class or tracking setting in **Accounts and taxes**. After you save, the page tells you to refresh existing settlements.
    
-   A settlement still shows **Mappings need review** after you mapped every type. Select **Refresh with current mappings** under the warning.
    

You do not need to refresh after a normal mapping save. Taxomate reads your mappings when it sends a settlement.

## Refresh one settlement

1.  Open the settlement.
    
2.  Select **More actions**, then **Refresh from Amazon report**. For payouts the item is **Refresh from {channel} data**, for example **Refresh from Shopify data**. You cannot refresh a TikTok Shop payout.

3.  Confirm the refresh in the dialog. This can take a few minutes.
    

## Refresh many settlements

1.  On **Settlements** (or **Payouts**), select the rows that you want to update.
    
2.  In the bar at the bottom, select **More actions**.
    
3.  Under **Manage settlements**, select **Refresh settlements**. For payouts, select **Refresh payouts**.

4.  You can also use the **⋯** menu on one row and select **Refresh from source**.
    

## Refresh is not available after a send

When any part of a settlement is in your accounting software, Refresh is off. The page says **Delete the entries first**. To change a sent settlement:

1.  Delete its entries (see "How do I delete a sales invoice or journal entry after sending?").
    
2.  Select **More actions**, then **Refresh from Amazon report**.
    
3.  Send the settlement again.
