SAF-T Declaration
About
The SAF-T module enables generation of the Standard Audit File for Tax directly from Business Central, in accordance with ANAF President Order No. 1783/2021.
Module Structure
The SAF-T module is organized into three main sections:
- Lists - local catalogs and those provided by ANAF
- Administration - configuration and setup pages
- Reports - XML file generation and export
ANAF Catalogs
Official ANAF catalogs are imported through the SAF-T Mapping Source page:
| Catalog | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard Account | Standard chart of accounts |
| TAX-IMP | Tax and duty types (TaxType) |

XML File Generation
Declaration export is performed from the SAF-T Exports page, where you specify:
- Reporting period (month/quarter/year)
- Report types (monthly/annual/on demand)

The generated XML file complies with the XSD schema defined by ANAF and can be validated before submission.
