Generating the PT SAF-T
This topic pertains to the Portugal SAF-T files generation feature, which is no longer supported as of Tax Audit File SuiteApp version 1.85.0. You can only use this SuiteApp to generate Portugal SAF-T files from 2022 and earlier. To generate this report, see Generating the PT SAF-T File in Portugal Localization SuiteApp.
NetSuite supports PT SAF-T Version 1.03.
The contents of the PT SAF-T are gathered from the following sources:
-
Data entries in your General Ledger or Chart of Accounts
Note:For OneWorld accounts, use the Statutory Chart of Accounts if the standard Chart of Accounts does not comply with regulatory requirements. For example, if the standard chart of accounts is shared with other subsidiaries, or if the parent company requires a subsidiary to use account names and numbers that are not in the formats required for statutory compliance in the subsidiary’s country.
The Statutory Chart of Accounts is included in the Tax Audit File SuiteApp and is available for PT SAF-T. For more information, see Statutory Chart of Accounts for Tax Audit Files.
-
Master file data of customers and suppliers
-
Details of invoices, orders, payments, adjustments, and item fulfillment transactions
NetSuite’s Tax Audit Files SuiteApp provides the following Portugal SAF-T reports:
|
Report |
Tables |
|---|---|
|
Portugal SAF-T |
|
|
Portugal SAF-T Invoicing |
|
|
Portugal SAF-T Accounting |
|
The generated PT SAF-T includes the Payments table only if the Cash Basis Reporting preference is enabled. To enable this preference, go to Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences. On the General subtab, check the Cash Basis Reporting box under General Ledger.
The current version of PT SAF-T only supports required tags as specified in the Portuguese Tax Authority (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira) requirements. If the PT SAF-T validator will support optional tags, the NetSuite PT SAF-T solution will be updated accordingly.
To generate the Portugal tax audit file, see Using Tax Audit Files. Ensure that you first configure your TAF Enhanced Trial Balance Saved Reports before generating tax audit files. For more details about generating tax audit files, see Generating a Tax Audit File.
Some data in the generated XML may be truncated by the system if they exceed the maximum length defined in the schema.
If you are generating an audit file covering a long period of time or a large volume of transactions, you should run the PT SAF-T overnight because the audit file generation may take several hours to complete.
