Naming Conventions for the Trial Balance XML File

You must manually rename the XML file that the system generates to meet the naming conventions requirements that the fiscal authority sets, before you submit it. For the General Ledger Report XML file, the name contains: For the Trial Balance XML file, the name contains:

  • The 12 or 13 characters for the RFC number

  • The year (four digits) and the month (two digits)

  • XML type identification: Use BN for the Trial Balance (Balanza) file. Use BC for an amendment version of the Trial Balance file (Balanza Complementaria).

  • Extension XML (.xml)

For example, if the RFC number of your company is 888888888888 and you are submitting a Balanza XML file for July of 2015, the name of the file should be 888888888888201507BN.XML.

Ensure that both the XML file generated and the compressed ZIP file that you submit, comply with the naming convention requirements.
