What happens to mappings when TaxPack is deactivated?
A temporary plugin deactivation should not erase the store's reporting classifications.
Inspect the source record
Record the current mapping revision and back up the database before changing installed plugins.
Build a focused report
Reactivate TaxPack and inspect the Rate mappings screen before generating a new report.
Read the result
The mapping option is retained; free reports themselves were generated on demand and are not stored snapshots.
A concrete example
A mapping for rate ID 37 can still be available after reactivation, while an old free report exists only in saved CSV files.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not assume deactivation or uninstall is a record-cleanup tool. Preserve downloaded reports and any paid snapshots separately.
