Vision Commerce v2023.3 is planned for release in Q2, expectations are that this will contain all changes necessary however a later software version may be required.

We are planning to offer to automate the required changes for the rates structure to Commerce customers. This would have to work off the Strength ABV field, as such we urge customers to start using this field correctly if not doing so already and to ensure that the field is set correctly for all historical records. Where this is not done, for any records without this set we may have to assume the highest permitted strength for their tax or commodity code in order to switch it over to the new rate.
