Understanding How to Generate and Modify DIAN Records

Important: As of January 1, 2014, Oracle no longer supports magnetic media localizations. The existing magnetic media formats provided by Oracle prior to January 1, 2014 are still functional and remain unaffected.

The Colombian fiscal authority (Direccion de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales de Colombia [DIAN]) issued resolutions 3847 and 3848 to require that companies report fiscal transactions. The formats required for reporting on these fiscal transactions are different from formats required by previous resolutions for previous years.

Reporting the fiscal transactions requires you to process accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger transactions.

Companies must generate reports in an XML format, use the Muisca software provided by DIAN to validate the media files, and submit the files to DIAN.
