"If you just update a current sales tax or agencies then any changes made to any prior sales transaction will update to the new rate."
This is, to me, an unexpected application of facts. The FACT of a Sales Tax Rate on any particularly date is set. Taxes, just like item prices, do change, in some jurisdictions more often than others.
To have made the the Sales Tax Calculation, dynamic with changes is poor and inconsistent methodology to real world processes and like any other item, comparable to a service item.
It also creates a maintenance nightmare in that where one would think to update a child rate, one must crreate new PARENTS for any rate change that would be affected by the change. So if, like in TX or AR, where rates are per county and even municipalities, a change at the county rate would demand multiple NEW Tax Items. For Arkansas, if set up per the instructioins, a change to the state rate would require 417 NEW Tax Item Setups.
