1 Standard Audit File - Taxation (SAF-T)

The Standard Audit File - Taxation (SAF-T) solution for Romania enables to you create and process SAF-T files
in accordance with the requirements of the tax authorities.

Overview

SAF-T is an electronic exchange XML standard to report business transactional data between companies and
external parties such as tax administrations, auditing systems and others.

The standard describes an electronic file format, which defines accounting data to be reported, and its data
structure, so that it may be submitted to the tax authorities or external parties for review.

SAF-T in Romania

In Romania, regulatory reporting requires that taxpayers are obliged to present their accounting data in SAF-T
format to the National Agency for Fiscal Administration of Romania (Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală,
ANAF). In Romania, the SAF-T file to be submitted to ANAF is known as Information Statement D406. The law
defines the dates from which the submission of these files are mandatory for different categories of taxpayers.

You use the SAF-T solution for Romania to extract data and create SAF-T files, compliant with the regulations of
ANAF. That is, to transform accounting data from your business into a predefined exchange format and
prepare it for transfer to external systems (tax authorities) electronically.

The SAF-T solution encompasses the extraction of data and the generation of the SAF-T file. Additionally, you
may delete extracted data or access a monitoring tool that gives you an overview of all SAF-T operations that
have been carried out.

The actual communication with the tax authorities, that is, the sending of the SAF-T file, are separate steps,
with the latter being dependent on additional information from ANAF and access to its official web portal.

1.1.1.1 Activate Country for Extraction and Generation

Enable SAF-T data extraction and file generation for your country.

Context

To carry out the SAF-T data extraction and file generation in your SAP system, you must first maintain an entry
for your ISO 3166 two-digit country-code in the system. This will register your country and enable the data
extraction and file generation reports for SAF-T.

To do this, make the following settings in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), under General Ledger
Accounting (New) Periodic Processing Report Statutory Reporting: Romania Standard Audit File for Tax
Purposes (SAF-T) Generic Settings :

Procedure

1. Activate the country for which you want to extract SAF-T data in the Activate Countries for SAF-T Data
Extraction Customizing activity (view SAFTNV_INTCA_EXT).

Make an entry with an ISO 3166 (two-digit) country code, relevant for your processing, and save your entry.
2. You activate the country for which you want to generate a SAF-T file in the Activate Countries for SAF-T File
Generation Customizing activity (view SAFTNV_INTCA_GEN)

Make an entry with an ISO 3166 (two-digit) country code, relevant for your processing, and save your entry.

Make settings for file splitting that is performed during the generation of the SAF-T file.

Context

By default, when generating the SAF-T file, separate files are created for the Master Files, General Ledger
Entries and Source Documents sections. The system also splits each file in case the number of documents
exceeds 10 million within the file. If you want to change these settings, make the settings below:

Procedure

1. Go to transaction SM30 and maintain the SAFTNV_FS_TRANS Customizing view.

2. If required, set the maximum number of documents for file splitting for each section (Master Files, General
Ledger Entries and Source Documents) separately.
3. If you want to disable file splitting to generate one single file including all sections, set the maximum
number of documents to 0 for each section.

 Note

We recommend that you disable file splitting and you only use file splitting if required.

1.2 Creating and Processing SAF-T Files

Find information about the steps of creating and submitting the SAF-T file for Romania and the reports
available for managing SAF-T data in the system.

The SAF-T for Romania process consists of two main steps: Data extraction and file generation, with the
resulting file being submitted through external electronic means to the web portal of the National Agency for
Fiscal Administration of Romania (Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală, ANAF), as required by the
Romanian tax authorities. The SAF-T solution also includes additional report functionality for the deletion of
extracted data and monitoring.

For information about the process of generating the SAF-T file and the SAF-T operations that you can perform,
see the sections below.

1.2.1 Extracting SAF-T Data

Find information about extracting data necessary for generating the SAF-T file for Romania.

Use

The first step in the SAF-T process is to extract data from your financial system. Data can be extracted for a
specific company and for a given time period. This data extraction allows the SAF-T solution to later generate
the SAF-T-compliant XML file. Data extraction reads the company's data and writes the selected data to so-
called "extraction tables" that store data to later generate the SAF-T file.

Prerequisites

You have made the required Customizing settings as described in Customizing for SAF-T [page 4].

Activities

To extract SAF-T data for Romania, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial
Accounting Reporting SAF-T (New) Extract SAF-T Data or call the SAFTN_E transaction.

For information about how to use the report for extraction, see the system report documentation available
under the Program Documentation button on the selection screen.

1.2.2 Deleting Extracted Data

Find information about deleting data stored earlier in the extraction tables.

Use

You can delete previously-extracted data from the system, and remove their corresponding entries from the
extraction tables. This allows you to re-extract data that was incorrectly extracted, or simply re-extract data to
remove gaps from your extraction periods.

 Caution

SAF-T reporting must be gapless at all times.

We recommend that you regularly delete the entries from the extraction tables after file generation and
submission. This improves the performance of the report while generating the XML file.

If you have accidentally deleted extracted data or you need them again after deletion, you can extract them
again.

Activities

To delete extracted data for SAF-T for Romania, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting
Financial Accounting Reporting SAF-T (New) Delete Extracted Data or call the SAFTN_D transaction.

For information about how to use the report for deletion, see the system report documentation available under
the Program Documentation button on the selection screen.

1.2.3 Generating the SAF-T File

Find information about generating the SAF-T file in accordance with the requirements of the National Agency
for Fiscal Administration of Romania (Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală, ANAF).

Use

When generating the SAF-T file, the system uses previously extracted data to create a SAF-T compliant XML
file, ready for submission to ANAF.
