2016 Tax Service changes are not safe

Has anyone examined the new Tax Services in 2016?  As far as I can see it will not work properly and is likely to cause misreporting of tax in many regions.

The clearing of tax tracking has been separated to be independent from the Tax Tracking report. Problem example:

  • Run purchase Tax Tracking report to end of October 2015.
  • Save, print, etc.
  • While doing this a late AP/PO invoice is posted dated October 2015.
  • Run the separate process to clear tax tracking to end of October 2015.

The result is that the late invoice never appears on any report.  It wasn't on the tax tracking when printed, but has now been cleared (deleted!!) from tax tracking.

Previously the clearing option at least would clear what was reported.  Now there is no correlation between what has been reported and what is cleared.  Therefore how can we now ask tax tracking to only report on previously unreported transactions?

Further, the 2016 release was supposed to flag reported transactions as reported rather than clear the tax tracking data.  What has been done seems to be the worst of both options.
