AFR slip matching not being saved, even for previously DL'd and imported data

[james1]

@rick.s

Are the starred/bolded slips above operating as intended though?

I do not think it is working as well as expected. I do not know what they are using to match slips; however, it appears that some slips match just fine and then others that should match (i.e one T5 in the return and one T5 in the AFR with the same values do not get matched and Taxcycle wants to add a new one.

I am sure that this is still a work in progress. According to @Cameron, they get relatively minor data to work with from CRA; therefore, if you have weird results for an AFR download, try sending it to @Cameron via E-courier using the following

Are you changing the issuer name from the value that comes from CRA? We match on the issuer name. Or is this scenario one where you have multiple slips from the same issuer? On a further note, the AFR download xml is anonymous because the taxpayer SIN does not exist in the file. So as long as the issuer details don’t give it all away (ie: J. Thomas Smith Prof Corp), you could share some of that real world data with us to help us optimize the matching. We’ve optimized AFR based on the retur…

By sending them additional AFR data, they should be able to refine the download.
