Understanding SAF-T Reporting
The Standard Audit File for Tax Purposes (SAF-T) is a standardized XML file used for exporting the accounting information of a company to the tax authorities. The file contains accounting data that can be exported from an original accounting system for a specific time period.
The SAF-T file is based on a directive by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system generates the SAF-T XML report in a version 2.0 format for XML documents using the following steps:
The OECD SAF-T Generic Extractor report (R705001) gathers the required information and produces the intermediate XML file.
The Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP) XSL transformation and report definition converts the intermediate XML file to the legal SAF-T XML file.
