According to Article 16 of the Law on Accounting of the Republic of Lithuania, companies in Lithuania are legally required to provide a report in Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) format. This article describes how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance supports the SAF-T requirements and explains how to prepare Finance to work with the SAF-T report for Lithuania.

For more information, see SAF-T - VMI.

Note

The One voucher functionality introduces a limitation on further SAF-T reporting for some scenarios that are subject to SAF-T. Specifically, a bank statement scenario must be posted by using different vouchers for transactions that have different counteragent accounts.

The SAF-T General model mapping configuration provides general data source mapping for the following master data:

  • GeneralLedgerAccounts – General ledger.

The SAF-T General model mapping configuration also provides general data source mapping for the following transactional data:

  • PurchaseInvoices – Accounting documents for purchases and acquisitions.
  • Payments – Payments.

Default for model mapping option set to Yes for the SAF-T General model mapping configuration.

Set up application-specific parameters for the SAF-T Format (LT) configuration

We recommend that you enable the Use application specific parameters from previous versions of ER formats feature in the Feature management workspace. When this feature is enabled, parameters that are configured for the earlier version of an ER format automatically become applicable for the later version of the same format. If this feature isn't enabled, explicitly configure the application-specific parameters for each format version. The Use application specific parameters from previous versions of ER formats feature is available in the Feature management workspace starting in Finance version 10.0.23. For more information about how to set up the parameters of an ER format for each legal entity, see Set up the parameters of an ER format per legal entity.

We recommend that you also enable the Accelerate the ER labels storage feature in the Feature management workspace. This feature helps improve network bandwidth utilization and overall system performance because, in most cases, ER labels of a single language are used when you work with a single ER configuration. The Accelerate the ER labels storage feature is available in the Feature management workspace as of Finance version 10.0.25. For more information about how to set up the parameters of an ER format for each legal entity, see Performance.

At least one line that has *Not blank* values must be set up.
    • ReportTaxCodes_LOOKUP – Define the mapping between the sales tax codes that are used by the company and the standard tax codes of Lithuania.

At least one line that has *Not blank* values must be set up.
    • StandardMainAccount_Lookup – Define the mapping between the main accounts that are used by the company and the standard main accounts of Lithuania.
