IMO the "problem" is the Tax Report which is based on periods.
if invoice date is not in the period (because the user forced a 
different period) we can not proof the correct VAT declaration as the 
period is not printed on invoices (and we do not print supplier invoices 
in general) - although the data *IN* OpenERP are correct.
