According to the Bookkeeping Act of 19-05-2023, a digitally approved bookkeeping system must have the following function.
| The accounting system makes it possible to generate a standard file defined by the authorities |
| The accounting system can export a standard file defined by the authorities to another accounting system provider |
| The accounting system can load the information included in a standard file defined by the authorities so that it is available to the customer |
In Uniconta, a file in the Saf-t format defined by the Danish Business Authority can be output under Finance.
The file is output in the following way.
Go to Finance/Audit activities/"Export to Saf-t"
Select a period:
Select the directory to save the file in.
The file is saved with name Saf-t, company id and date.
The file must be imported at the authorities when this becomes possible.
SAF-T Denmark
The Danish SAF-T now prints all financial accounts with balances. This is currently not a requirement from the Danish Business Authority. Here, the minimum requirement is that we can only print a header.
SAF-T Norway
From Norwegian companies, a SAF-T file can be printed.
The Norwegian SAF-T prints many more information/transactions than the Danish.
The default chart of accounts is output.
File name for output is written as follows :
Format: SAFT_<Country> _<CompanyId>_<FromDate>_<ToDate>_<UniqueId>.xml
Here is an example: SAFT_NO_6830_010123_311223_63848489308097818511.xml
Validation
There is currently no validation against XSD. The output file can be validated with NodePad++.
Testing of SAF-T is done by in Norway.
