Using Portugal Accounting Context for SAF-T Report

You can use accounting contexts for account numbers and names in Portuguese or as required by the Portugal GAAP.

If you are using a Portugal accounting context, you must set your Localization preferences to use this accounting context in the PT SAF-T report before you generate the file.

To set the Portugal accounting context:

  1. Go to Home > Set Preferences.

  2. On the Localization subtab, set the following preferences:

    1. In the Accounting Context field on the Localization subtab, select your Portugal accounting context that you want to be used in generating the PT SAF-T report.

    2. In the Language field, select the language that you had set in the accounting context of an account in the Chart of Accounts. For example, if the accounting context of Accounts Payables is set to language Português (Brasil), then select Português (Brasil) in this field.

      By selecting a language, the SAF-T report displays the translation of your account names to the language set in the accounting context on the Chart of Accounts. If you had not set a language in the accounting context of an account, then the report will use the name entered in the Legal Name field.

      If the accounting context on the account record represents both the accounting context language and the user’s preferred language, the account name displays in this language. For more information about the accounting context rules, see Accounting Contexts.
