There should be prominent warnings alerts when completing VAT return - EC Sales must be produced FIRST!

It is mentioned in the helpfile, but I think that whenever a customer does a VAT return they should have to tick that EC Sales reporting has been completed. This is because deleting the VAT transactions makes running the EC Sales list impossible. Our customer Gibbons Fans encountered this problem, and luckily still had access to a 200 backup taken before the VAT return was run, so I was able to restore this (as a searate company) and they could generate the xml file. As there is no other way of generating the (legally required) EC information it is undesirable that a customer can delete it before using it.
