2 INTRODUCTION
According to Portaria 321-A/2007 of the Portuguese legislation, published in March 26th by the Portuguese
government, a requirement became mandatory as of fiscal year 2008 for all companies that use
computerized means to manage their accounting and billing procedures: the obligation consists in
producing a file, the so-called SAF-T (PT) file, whenever requested by the tax authorities for auditing
purposes or as part of the year end closing activities.
This requirement is part of the requisites that belong to the Software Certification (Digital Signature for
invoices and delivery documents. Check note 2107258 that is obligatory for Billing Software, in Portugal.
Both requisites are therefore linked together, and reference will be made in this manual whenever
appropriate.
The SAF-T (PT) file also serves another purpose, which is the monthly reporting of invoices, the so-called E-
Fatura. This obligation was introduced by Law Decree 198/2012. There have been several legal changes
since.
Relevant legal references:
 Portaria 321-A/2007
 Portaria 1192/2009
 Portaria 160/2013
 Portaria 274/2013 – SAF-T version 1.03_01
 Portaria 302/2016 - SAF-T version 1.04_01
Under the following link you can find all useful information regarding the legal requirement, namely the
XSD file, validators, description of the structure, links to legal texts, etc.:
http://info.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt/pt/apoio_contribuinte/NEWS_SAF-T_PT.htm
NOTE: The legal change according to Portaria 302/2016, version 1.04_01, is the one described in this
document.
This manual describes all the steps that are necessary to create the SAF-T (PT) file: Settings, Data Extraction,
File Creation and Download and Validation1.

As of Portaria 302/2016 and the release of SAF-T (PT) version 1.04_01, the tax authorities in Portugal no longer
provide an online validation URL for file validation.

The process to create the SAF-T (PT) file is the same for both the monthly and the yearly file. Whenever
there are differences they are mentioned accordingly.
3 FILE STRUCTURE AND PURPOSE

The SAF-T (PT) file is an XML file with different sections to accommodate the data from different domains,
e.g. accounting, billing, master data, etc. The composition of the file varies according to its purpose. That is
to say that not all the sections are always included.
When creating the SAF-T (PT) file the user should be aware for which purpose the file is being created.
NOTE: the file structure description in the law text contains a few errors. The correct structure is given by
the XSD file.
The table below shows the file sections of a complete SAF-T (PT) file.
File section Explanation
1.1. Header File header
2. MasterFiles Master Data
2.1. GeneralLedger GL Accounts master data
2.2. Customer Customers Master Data
2.3. Supplier Vendors Master Data
2.4. Product Products/Services Master Data

4. SourceDocuments: Source Documents
4.1. SalesInvoices Billing documents
4.2. MovementOfGoods Delivery/Transport documents
4.3. WorkingDocuments Secondary documents to customers
4.4. Payments Receipts/Payment documents
The section containing the Accounting data (GeneralLedger) must contain the complete financial data of
the company in one file only, not to be split in smaller files. The SourceDocument section can be split into
smaller portions.
5|Page
ANNUAL FILE FOR AUDIT PURPOSES
The annual file is normally provided to the tax authorities upon request and it is part of the year-end closing
activities. The obligation to report the data for audit purposes always consists in reporting the complete
data. This can be done in one complete file or in several smaller files, which altogether contain the
complete data. The options and requirements are:
 Integrated file: contains the complete data in one file, related to accounting and logistics (source
documents: sales invoices, payments, movement of goods), both transaction and master data.
 Accounting file: contains only data related with Accounting in one file, both transaction and master
data.
 Billing file: contains only data related with billing, both transaction and master data; it can be split
into smaller portions of smaller periods of at least one month.
There are different kinds of billing files according to the invoices’ nature, e.g. normal customer
invoices, invoices issued on behalf of a third-party and self-billing invoices.
The table below shows the composition of the file according to its nature, as described in the law.

MONTHLY FILE FOR INVOICE REPORTING (E-FATURA)

The monthly file is produced every month to report invoice data for tax purposes. This is done by
submitting the file on the portal of the tax authorities, the so-called E-fatura portal. When submitting the
file, the portal executes some validations and discards the information that is not needed, since only a
limited amount of information is relevant for invoice reporting purposes. The result is a much smaller file
with a simplified structure containing only the information stored in the database of the tax authorities.
According to the law, the monthly file for the purpose of reporting invoices (E-fatura) has the structure of a
billing file. In practice however, since not all the information is relevant to the tax authorities some of the
information that normally belongs to the billing file can be left out with no impact on the quality of the
reported data. This information is given explicitly or implicitly in the law or can be derived from the
behaviour of the portal. The simplified file, as mentioned above, makes it evident how much of the
information delivered in a SAF-T (PT) file is actually not needed.
The table below shows the composition of the monthly file and shows the sections that are not relevant, as
explained above.

This data is not being excluded in the E-fatura file and when submitting the file in the AT-portal, it is

4 SELECTION LOGIC
CERTIFIED DOCUMENTS: INVOICES AND DELIVERY DOCUMENTS

Referring to the rules of Software Certification, invoices and delivery documents must be certified (digitally
signed), without exception, regardless of where and how they were issued, in a billing or in the accounting
system. Following this logic, the decisive criterion to select the relevant documents for the extraction and
inclusion in the SAF-T (PT) file is the digital signature. Thus, all digitally signed documents will be selected
and included in the SAF-T (PT) report while not signed documents will not be included in the file. This logic
is not completely implemented yet, as documents are still being retrieved based on the former logic,
including also not signed documents.
PLEASE NOTE: Digital Signature is a prerequisite for all invoice documents. As of July 1st 2017, a new
validation is in place operating under the following conditions:
 During a 180-day period, from the date of installation, after the 1st of July 2017, you will still be
able to extract data and generate SAF-T files from documents lacking a digital signature, with a
warning being issued for each item.
 After this 180-day period you will no longer be able to extract data from your selected documents
which are not digitally signed, as the validation will cause an error in the report.
4.1.1 Exceptions: Excluded documents

Some documents are excluded from the SAF-T file:
Reversals
Reversal documents of FI and SD invoices are considered internal documents, not representing a
commercial transaction. They are therefore being excluded from the SAFT file – table 4.1. Only the reversed
document is shown in the file. Please note, that reversal documents must have their own number range
and document type.
8|Page
Internal SD documents not posted in Accounting
Such documents are identified by their Posting Status equal D (VBRK-RFBSK) and are automatically
excluded from the SAF-T file – table 4.1.
Rebate Agreement credit memos

Such documents are internal documents never to be printed or issued to a Customer. Therefore they are
excluded from the SAF-T file – table 4.1, based on their Billing Category equal B or C (VBRK-FKTYP).
Delivery Document replaced by invoice

Invoices can be used as delivery documents when sent together with the goods shipment. In such cases
they replace the delivery document which can be considered an internal document that shall not be
included in the SAF-T file – table 4.2. Such delivery documents will be excluded automatically provided the
respective settings are done.
WORKING DOCUMENTS
Some SD documents are automatically reported as Working Documents (table 4.3) and not as Sales
Documents:
 Proforma Invoices identified based on their Document Category equal U (VBRK-VBTYP), are
automatically included in table 4.3-WorkingDocuments. No further customizing is needed. Do not
customize such documents in the FIPTC_DOC_EXC table as this will lead to error.
 Internal documents according to the settings (FIPTC_DOC_EXC) are considered Working
Documents. If, however, such documents don’t have a customer line, they are also excluded from
table 4.3 and will only be included as an Accounting Document.
VENDORS AS CUSTOMERS
When filling the Masterfiles section for Customers (2.2.) the program may select data related also to
Vendors, provided the respective settings have been done, in order to reflect the Vendors as Customers
scenario.
RESTRICTIONS
4.4.1 Invoice Lists with Foreign Currencies
The use of certain documents with foreign currencies (Invoice lists, for example) is unsupported by the SAF-
T solution. This may lead to inconsistencies due to exchange rate differences from the invoice issue date to
the invoice list issue date.
Although unsupported, you may still submit documents in foreign currencies. However, SAP cannot
guarantee acceptance and validation of amounts by the Tax Authorities due to differing exchange rates.
4.4.2 Billing Documents in Invoice Lists

If you use different fiscal periods for the Invoice List creation, you will produce an inconsistent SAF-T file. To
avoid this, you must create as many Invoice Lists as you have fiscal periods. For example, you might have
Invoices 1 & 2 in one fiscal period, and Invoice 3 & 4 in another fiscal period, you cannot group these
invoices in a single Invoice List, but must split them into two separate Invoice Lists (Invoice List A for
Invoices 1 & 2 and Invoice List B for Invoices 3 & 4).
If you need to carry out a reversal of an Invoice List, you must reverse it in the same fiscal period.
9|Page
4.4.3 Sales Office Restriction
If you need to issue a SAF-T file (i.e. for e-Fatura purposes) for a Portuguese sales office in a non-
Portuguese company code, you can only issue a Billing SAF-T. You cannot extract Accounting SAF-T for non-
Portuguese company codes (relevant for the annual audit file).
4.4.4 Plant abroad Restriction

Presently the Plant Abroad scenario is not supported.
5 SETTINGS
Creation &
Download
Several customizing tasks must be carried out prior to executing the file to ensure that the correct data is
collected, the correct file format is produced and the correct filling rules are applied (e.g. to produce the
Chart of Account hierarchical structure, to collect product data, where it is not defined in the database, or
to identify specific business scenarios).
This is important because sometimes a different behaviour is required to fill the SAF-T (PT) file correctly.
Normally the definition of such settings is a one-time activity or valid for a specific time interval.
The several views in the SAF-T Framework customizing area are explained in this chapter. Use these views
to specify the cases that are applied in the company.
NOTE: The entity on which the SAF-T(PT) file is based is the company code. It cannot be created for
multiple company codes in one step. Running the report for multiple company codes will result in multiple
files, namely as many as there are company codes. These files cannot be merged. Please bear in mind that
the Accounting data must be in one file only according to the legal requirement.
For the entire SAF-T(PT) solution, the company code should be located in Portugal.
RPFIEU_SAFT extractions must be deleted and run again when customizing settings are changed and a new
RPFIEU_SAFT extraction is needed with the new settings.
HOW TO ACCESS THE CUSTOMIZING VIEWS

The views can be accessed in several ways:
Option 1:
Use the transaction code to go directly to a specific view, as specified in each customizing activity case in
this chapter.
Option 2:

5.1.2 Country-Specific Settings  Portugal
This menu includes generic settings for each country. Open the menu belonging to Portugal to access to the
next sub-menu.
12 | P a g e
SPECIFY GENERIC SETTINGS IN DETAIL
In this chapter each of the sub-menus will be explained in terms of function, use and the meaning of the
fields. You can access the customizing view by menu navigation as explained above, or using the
transaction code mentioned in each case.
In the following screen you will find the several configuration options, which are explained in this chapter.
5.2.1 Specify Generic information

Use this view to specify the generic parameters that define the scope of the data that needs to be included
in the various sections on the SAF-T (PT) XML file. This customizing task is mandatory.
Please note: You may also use transaction FIEU_GEN to maintain FIEUD_GENERIC table.

then specify the Financial statement version in this
field.*3
FSV_CCOA FSV Country If your Portuguese Company Code uses the Country
Chart of Accounts (KTOPL2 in the company code master
data), then specify the Financial statement version in this
field.*
COA Chart of accounts Enter the main chart of accounts defined for the
Portuguese Company Code (even if executing the report
for the country chart of accounts, the entry here is
always the main chart of accounts).
COMPANY_ID Company ID Specify the information required for CompanyID field in

the SAF-T (PT) file Header: Registration Place and
Number, or in case of no registration indicate the VAT-ID
only. Use the syntax required according to SAF-T rule:
 Only one space between the registry place and

the registration number. No spaces in the name
of the place
 No country prefix for the registration number.

Fields Description Content
LEDGER Ledger The unique identification of a ledger, in case one is

specified for the data belonging to Portugal. This is the
ledger that contains the data to be reported.
Note: RPFIEU_SAFT does not support Special Ledger

functionality. Only New GL and non-leading ledgers
under New GL are supported.
In case a non-leading ledger is selected then the data of

this ledger along with the data of the leading ledger will
be reported in the XML file. This means that the data of
the leading ledger is always automatically selected
because only the invoices in the leading ledger are
digitally signed.
DIR_SET FTWN Directory Indicate the Directory Set you have maintained for
Set storing SAF-T XML files, under transaction FTWP, in the
File directories tab, where the server path to store the
SAF-T XML files is defined. This is only needed for
downloading very huge XML files. Refer to chapter File
Download for more information.
*Note: Maintain either Financial statement version (primary) or Financial statement version (country), but
not both.
5.2.2 Map Document Type to Invoice Type [FI Invoices]

According to the SAF-T(PT) definitions, the various invoice types are to be reported with the following
values in the SAF-T file:
Invoice Type Invoice type according

to XML
Invoice FT
Simplified Invoice FS
Invoice-Receipt FR
Debit Note ND

a)
These document types are allowed only until 31-Dec-2012. SAF-T-(PT) files issued after this date must not
contain such invoice types.
FI invoices are identified through the document type. Thus, the system document types must be classified
according to the SAF-T invoice types. In this customizing view the following is specified:
 FI invoice document types that must be included in the SAF-T(PT) file

 The SAF-T invoice type to which the document type corresponds
Prerequisites
 Manual FI Invoices checkbox in the Customizing view FIEUD_BC has been already selected (see
chapter Portugal → Specify Business Cases).
The InvoiceType field in the XML file is filled with the invoice type customized for the retrieved document
type.

A company based in Portugal may have multiple sales offices from which the operations are done.
However, among those not all sales offices are necessarily relevant, or you may wish to create a SAF-T(PT)
file only containing the invoices of a specific Sales Office.
To include the invoices only from these specific sales office(s) in the SAF-T(PT), proceed as follows:
Use this customizing view to define the Sales Offices as needed. The corresponding Invoices will be filtered
to be included in the XML file.

Restriction
1. Filtering invoices by Sales Office is only possible for Sales Offices located in Portugal (Country is
defined as “PT”), just as it is mandatory for the Company Code to be located in Portugal as well,
according to the restriction explained under chapter 3. Settings. If the case is a company code in
another country, with a sales office in Portugal, this solution will not work.
2. The scenario for a foreign company code can only be realized through the implementation of a
BAdI method. Please refer to the BAdI documentation attached to SAP note 1987687.
3. In case there is more than one sales office, then the extraction / deletion of extracted data must be
done for all sales office in one step. It is not possible to extract/delete/create the SAF-T file for each
sales office at a time.
4. If you need to issue a monthly SAF-T (i.e. for e-Fatura purposes) for a non-Portuguese company
code, with a Portuguese sales office, you can only issue Billing SAF-T. You cannot extract Accounting
SAF-T for non-Portuguese company codes.

5.3.3 Portugal  Define Ranges for Internal Documents

Internal Documents are documents which you do not want to use for SAF-T file creation, as they do not
meet the legal requirement for an invoice. You must identify documents you consider as internal document
in SD, by defining a number range to which these documents must belong.
Please note: When a document is considered as an internal document it is only possible to exclude the ones
that don´t have a customer line in the accounting document.
If the accounting document of the SD invoice has a customer line, it must be reported in Table 4.3 and
cannot be excluded from Table 4.

5.3.4 Portugal  Define Alternate Accounts

Some companies may have carried out a Chart of Accounts Conversion (legally required in 2010 in
Portugal), or simply changed a few accounts. In such cases the accounts history (former account number
and name) may be lost.
In the SAF-T (PT) file, however, the data must be shown according to the facts of the reporting year. For
example, if a conversion was performed during 2010 and a SAF-T file for 2009 is to be created, the
accounts’ data must correspond to the information valid in 2009.
Use the customizing table SAFTPT_ALT_ACCTS, to maintain account information that is deviating from the
currently set parameters.
Whenever an entry exists in this table for the given company code, fiscal year and account it is taken into

VAT. All line item amounts and VAT amounts are recalculated accordingly:
 DebitAmount/CreditAmount (SAF-T fields 4.1.4.19.13 and 4.1.4.19.14): indicate the amount of the
tax/charge/fee in question, net of VAT. In case it is subject to VAT and the VAT amount is included
in the amount given by the pricing condition, the VAT amount is substracted automatically by the
program.
 Tax (4.1.4.19.15): the VAT information regarding this tax-like-material, in case it is subject to VAT,
will be filled in these fields. The VAT amount, subtracted automatically from the amount given in
the pricing condition, is shown here.
These taxes must also have an entry in Masterfiles/Product, as they represent a product. For this, a
customizing table must be maintained in order to define the “product” information, e.g. product number,
product type, etc.
The respective pricing conditions in the SAP system must be identify and customized in table SAFTPT_IMAT.

6 DATA EXTRACTION
Creation &
Download
The next step is to perform the data extraction, in order to fill the RPFIEU_SAFT extraction tables
(FIEUD_FIDOC_H, FIEUD_FIDOC_I, FIEUD_FISUMMARY, FIEUD_SDINV_H, etc.). These tables are the basis
for data retrieval while running the report. Before running the extraction you must take some decisions:
- For which purpose do you want to create the file?

- For how many/which periods do you want to create the file?
- Do you want to create a file containing all sections, or only a few?
The answers to these questions determine the scope of the SAF-T file.
NOTE:
Invoices should always be created in “normal” periods (1-12). Special periods are meant for special
accounting activities, such as results determination, account transfers, etc. If there is the case of invoices
being posted in special periods, this will be reflected in the SAF-T file and return an error by the AT-portal
validation.
The master data to populate the Masterfiles section is read directly from the system tables during the XML
file generation; no specific RPFIEU_SAFT extraction tables are used in this case. This is important to bear in
mind especially if you perform frequent data reorganization that implies deletion. Once you delete master
44 | P a g e
data it is no longer available in the database tables. Thus, you should create the XML files before deleting
data. In case you archive data, you need to use the function to retrieve data from the archives.
RUNNING THE DATA EXTRACTION

Execute RPFIEU_SAFT report and then select the Extract Data option.
The selection screen for the data extraction will open. Here you can make your selection according to the
scope of the file you want to create. Consider the explanation of each field shown below.
First you determine whether you want to extract data and fill the RPFIEU_SAFT tables, or if you first want to
delete the current content of the RPFIEU_SAFT tables. If the RPFIEU_SAFT tables are populated with data
from a previous run - for the same or an overlapping period of time - you must first delete it before running
the extraction you need, unless the content is exactly the one you need.

The Date field provides an F4 help option that allows you to see the
Extraction Date
intervals that have already been extracted. This will help the user to
choose the correct time intervals and/or the correct extract that
already exists, instead of re-creating it.
You must adjust the extraction dates to the XML creation date
interval you will use. The interval must match with the period of the
fiscal year that is reported.
The fiscal year for which you create the extract and want to create
the XML file.
If the fiscal year as defined in the company code is not identical to
the calendar year, the user does not need to worry about that. The
program will always retrieve the data based on the fiscal year.
Note: The SAF-T(PT) file is always created based on fiscal year, not
Fiscal year on calendar year. Companies that use a fiscal year that is different
from the calendar year must be aware that they will not be able to
create one file based on calendar year, if the fiscal year goes across
years.
Non-calendar fiscal years must follow the rules of the IRC Code
(Corporate Income Tax Law). Data of SAF-T(PT) field 1.8 FiscalYear
must corresponds to the year of field 1.9 StartDate.

If the archived data is to be retrieved from FI and SD but the

archives cover different periods of time, the archives must be
extracted individually. This mixed situation is presently not covered.
6.1.1 Extract
Extract the data into the extract tables for a single period, for the complete fiscal year or for a freely
defined interval. The data extracted includes:
 FI transactional data for Accounting data (GeneralLedgerEntries)

 SD transactional data for Billing data (SalesInvoices)
 FI transactional data for Billing data, i.e. FI invoices (SalesInvoices)
Note: make sure that all settings are correctly done as described in chapter Settings.
Choose Extract to run the data extraction from relevant modules (Accounting / Billing). Additionally, the
report will also calculate the total values (total entries, total debit and credit) during the extraction.
If the data volume is high, execute the report in background mode.
If the tables already contain extracted data it is only possible to extract a distinct date interval in order to
add data. It is not possible to run the extraction for overlapping date ranges.
Restrictions:
6.1.2 Delete
Choose Delete under operation selection if you want to remove extracted data from the table. This can be
useful e.g. when
 New documents have been posted in a period after RPFIEU_SAFT data was last extracted.
 Customizing settings have been changed and a new RPFIEU_SAFT extraction is needed with the
new settings.
 You have previously created an extract with the wrong selection criteria.
 The data is no longer needed
 The table size has reached storage limit
47 | P a g e
Note: when deleting RPFIEU_SAFT data you should be using the same dates’ definition you used when
creating the extract. Partial deletion is not possible, extracted dates can be selected from F4 help.
6.1.3 System messages while executing

While running the extraction, file creation or deletion the following situations will trigger a message:
Extraction / Creation:
 Error message when only for “from date” is selected
 Information message when no data is present for extraction.
 Success message when data has been successfully extracted.
 Error message if the extraction is performed for already extracted date range.
 If the fiscal year set is different from the fiscal year of the interval. The same error message will
appear if the dates given belong to different fiscal years.
 If the company code indicated is not configured in the customizing table.
Creation:
 If the dates indicated belong only partially to one of the extracted intervals.
Deletion:
 Information message to avoid partial deletion.
 Success message when data is deleted successfully.
6.1.4 Administration
If new postings are made in a period which has already been extracted, the table content must be deleted
and the period re-extracted.
Note that accounting documents must be extracted if there are FI invoices even if GeneralLedgerEntries are
not to be included.
6.1.5 Application Log

Once the file creation is concluded the system creates a log reporting the number of entries for each
master data section as well as for the transaction data. The log is shown right after the execution. However,
all logs will be stored in the system and can be consulted at any time later. To view the log, proceed as

9 FILE VALIDATION
Creation &
Download
As of Portaria 302/2016 and the introduction of the schema version 1.04_01, the tax authority in Portugal
no longer makes available the online validation feature for SAF-T Portugal, rendering the option to submit a
file for validation as non-usable.
In order to confirm that the file is in accordance with the legal requirements in terms of structure, please
use the official validator from the Tax Authorities. You can find this validator on the Portal das Finanças.
56 | P a g e
Note: The validation of a file created in a system other than the productive system will return an error, as
the public key is not known for test systems.
When submitting a monthly SAF-T (PT) file for the purpose of reporting invoices to the Tax Authorities,
another file validator is provided. This validator excludes some of the validations as they are not relevant
for this purpose. It is automatically called when submitting the file in the portal of the Tax Authorities
without the user noticing.
10SPECIAL DOCUMENTS - EXTERNAL AND MANUAL DOCUMENTS

External Documents comprise documents (e.g. Invoices) that from a system perspective are issued in
another system (with the same or different software) and for business reasons are integrated in the
reference SAP system. They are digitally signed and reported in the SAF-T file of the source software.
The integration of such documents is documented in Despacho 8632/2014. It has special impact on the
creation of the SAF-T file as they must be identified as external documents.
Documents that are integrated in the target system directly in the Accounting system are not relevant for
this process.
SCOPE OF EXTERNAL DOCUMENTS IN SAF-T

Not all external documents are covered by the SAF-T solution for Portugal. In the following sections, you
will find the scope of external documents.
10.1.1 In-scope Documents

The integration of external documents in the existing SAF-T solution covers documents created via the SD
module that will later integrate SAF-T tables 4.1 and 4.3.
10.1.2 Out of scope Documents

The SAF-T for Portugal solution does not cover the integration of external transport or delivery documents.
EXTERNAL DOCUMENTS INTEGRATION PROCESS

External documents can be integrated in the SAP system in two different ways:
- as Aggregated/summary documents
- as Individual documents
10.2.1 Aggregated/Summary documents

In this scenario, several invoices produced externally are integrated as one single document in SAP, e.g. all
documents from the day. This originates a new document that is not a copy of any of the original
documents it represents and therefore must be handled as an original SAP document properly identified in
the SAF-T report.
Digital signature
These documents should have a specific number range and must be digitally signed.
57 | P a g e
The configuration in SIPT_NUMBR_SD table must allow these documents to be digitally signed when they
are being posted. This information will be stored in table SIPT_VBRK.
These documents must not be printed as invoice documents.
Location in SAF-T file

These documents are relevant for table 4.1 and must be identified as a summary document representing
documents from another system. This is done in the InvoiceStatus field by filling it with the value ‘R’.
To pass this information to SAF-T please use BadI Method:
10.2.2 Individual documents

In this scenario, the external document is being replicated in the SAP system on a 1:1 basis. While it is being
created as a new document in the SAP system, some of the original information, such as document date(s),
document number and digital signature, must also be migrated into the SAP system.
However, due to restrictions and validations (legally required for Portugal) in SAP, some differences or
validation problems cannot be avoided. For example, rounding differences between the original and the
target document may be generated, or validations regarding the chronology and sequencing of the invoice
numbering may fail. In such cases, adjustments are needed.
Please check Note 2166344 - Despacho 8632/2014: Interface documents with digital signatures
generated in external systems
Prerequisites
1. View must be maintained to identify the document type of the individual
external documents.
2. In Specify Business Cases (table FIEUD_BC) set the flag for external documents.
Digital signature
Use a specific number range to post these documents.
All validations performed on invoices in the SAP system also apply to the invoices that are originated by
external documents.
However, for these cases, SAP has provided a BAdI (SAP Note 2166344) that allows switching off some of
the validations. Thus, issues deriving from the chronology of dates and the digital signature can be
overcome, provided that the digital signature relevant information of the original document is integrated in
the SAP system.
However, if you choose not to use the the BAdI mentioned above, the external documents will be
redundantly signed when being replicated in the SAP system. This digital signature will be ignored for the
SAF-T reporting as only the original information is relevant.
Location in SAF-T file

To guarantee that the relevant original data are properly reported in the SAF-T file, it is required to
populate table SIPT_IF_VBRK with the needed information from the original document. Check the content
of the table below:
58 | P a g e
OUR_VBELN SAP Billing Document
VBELN Original Billing Document
BUKRS Company Code
NRRANGENR Number range number
LEAD_DOCTYPE Signature PT: Original Leading Billing Document Type
SERIES Signature Portugal: Original Series
INV_DATE Signature PT: Original Invoice/Billing Date
SY_DATE Signature PT: Original System Entry Date and Time
INV_NO Signature PT: Original Invoice Number
GROSS_TOTAL Signature PT: Original Gross Amount
PREVPRINT_CHAR Signature PT: Original Print Characters from the previous invoice
PRINT_CHAR Signature PT: Original Print Characters
CERT_ID Signature PT: Original Certification ID
KEY_VERS Signature PT:Original Encryption Key Version
CREAUSER Signature PT: Original Created By User
CREADATE Signature PT: Creation Date
CREATIME Signature PT: Creation Time
CHANUSER Signature PT: Changed By User
CHANDATE Signature PT: Changing Date
CHANTIME Signature PT: Changing Time
SIGNATURE Original Digital Signature
INVOICE_STATUS SAFT: Original Invoice Status
The table SIPT_IF_VBRK is therefore used as the data base from which the original information of the
external invoices can be retrieved.
In the SAFT file, the integrated external documents must be identified as such. This is achieved by filling
some of the fields differently:
 Fill the field InvoiceNo with the original invoice number from the external system.
 Fill the field HashControl in tables 4.1 and 4.3 as follows: certificate number from the original
software + dot + version of the certificate of the original software. Example: “9999.1”; where 9999
is the certificate and 1 is the certificate version key;
 Fill the Hash field with the digital signature created in the original software;
 Fill the SourceBilling field with the value ‘I’;
 In case the original software is not certified, the Hash field should be filled with ‘0’ (zero) and the
HashControl field with the phrase ‘Não certificado’
Correction document for external invoices

The correction of external documents should always happen in the original system. In SAP, the correction
invoices (eg. credit memos) are subject to validations and must refer to the invoice being corrected. If the
corrected invoice is an external document, it is the original information that must be shown in the SAFT file
as the reference document. The SAFT program will check this in the SIPT_VBRK or in SIPT_IF_VBRK tables.
If the corrected invoice is not present in the SAP system at all, its number must be maintained in the
SIPT_CM_EXT_REF table so that its validation does not fail.
59 | P a g e
10.2.3 Documents created manually outside the system (on paper)
Documents that are created manually on paper, i.e. in case of system downtime, and later integrated in the
billing and accounting system should follow specific rules:
- Use a specific number range when integrating such documents in the target system and activate
the digital signature for such documents.
- Integrate this document in the SAF-T file considering the following rules:
o Fill HashControl field in tables 4.1 and 4.2 with the certificate key version + hyphen + the
SAF-T document number; add the value ‘M’ at the end of the document type (which is part
of the SAF-T document number). Example: 1-FTM abc/00995, where ‘FT’ is the document
type; ‘M’ is the added value that identifies the document as a manual document; ‘abc’ is
the series and 00995 is the sequential number.
11 SPECIAL SAF-T FILE – SELF-BILLING

Special SAF-T files are files that are issued when special business scenarios exist, for instance Self-billing. All
steps described above apply to the special SAF-T files as well. The specificities are described here.
Self-billing invoices are invoices that a company issues to itself on behalf of the vendor. These are invoices
that need to be reported in the SAF-T (PT) file, namely in the SourceDocuments – SalesInvoices section of
the SAF-T structure.
When this scenario is practiced it is assumed that an agreement exists between the selling and buying
party. In practice, Self-billing invoices are issued by the client. Being documents that are reported as Sales
Invoices they must be reported by the Selling party. However, they are created in the buyer’s system
According to the legal requirement of the SAF-T file, the SAF-T file should always be created in the system
where the data is created and the reported documents are issued.
From this, it is clear that it is the Buyer (the issuer of the Self-billing invoices) who is obliged to create the
Self-billing SAF-T file. Once the file is created, he hands it over to the vendor, who eventually submits it to
the authorities.
Note: It is necessary, and legally required, to create one separate SAF-T file per Self-billing vendor. Each file
contains the Self-billing invoices, Products and Vendor data pertaining to that specific vendor only. There
will be as many Self-billing SAF-T files as there are Self-billing Vendors with Self-billing invoices in the
reporting period.
The Self-billing SAF-T file shall not be integrated with any other SAF-T file. The structure of the file is
described next.
SELF-BILLING DOCUMENTS AND VENDORS IN SAF-T

The self-billing files are to be generated for each vendor with whom the company has the self-billing
agreement set.
60 | P a g e
11.1.1 Self-billing vendor
To define a vendor as Self-billing vendor, you need to do the appropriate settings in the vendor master
record. Go to the vendor’s master record and in the Purchasing data tab flag the AutoEvalGRSetm Del. and
AutoEvalGRSetm Ret.checkboxes.
11.1.2 Self-billing documents

Only invoices created with the following transactions and certified according to legal requirement are
considered when creating the Self-billing SAF-T file in SAP:
 Vendor Invoice
o MRRL: Evaluated Receipt Settlement
o MRNB: Settle Consignment/Pipeline Liabs.
o MIRO: Enter Incoming Invoice
o MRER: Auto. ERS Automotive
o MRIS: Settle Invoicing Plan
 Consignment
o MRKO: Revaluation
Note: other transactions used to generate Self-billing invoices, including invoices generated in FI, are not
supported.
61 | P a g e
SELF-BILLING FILE STRUCTURE
The structure differs only very little from the normal Billing SAF-T file, the so-called “F” file
(TaxAccountingBasis = F). The differences are specified here. In all other aspects the same rules as for F-files
apply.
11.2.1 Yearly File

The Yearly Self-billing SAF-T file includes the following file sections, with the respective content:
 Table 1: Header (content: data of the Supplier company)

 Table 2: Master Data
o Table 2.2 – Customer (content: data of the invoice issuer – only one entry)
o Table 2.4 - Product (content: only the products mentioned in the invoices)
o Table 2.5 - TaxTable (content: only the tax information from the included invoices)
 Table 4: SourceDocuments
o Table 4.1 – SalesInvoices (content: self-invoices issued on behalf of the particular
supplier mentioned in the Header)
11.2.2 Monthly File

The Monthly Self-billing SAF-T file includes the following file sections, with the respective content:
 Table 1: Header (content: data of the Supplier company)

 Table 2: Master Data
o Table 2.2 – Customer (content: data of the invoice issuer – only one entry)
o Table 2.5 - TaxTable (content: only the tax information from the included invoices)
 Table 4: SourceDocuments
o Table 4.1 – SalesInvoices (content: self-invoices issued on behalf of the particular
supplier mentioned in the Header)
According to the general rules of the monthly SAF-T file, the Product table (2.4) is not included.
SETTINGS FOR SELF-BILLING FILE

Before using the RPFIEU_SAFT report to create the Self-billing SAF-T file, a few configurations must be
made. These are described in this chapter.
11.3.1 How to access the customizing views

DATA EXTRACTION FOR SELF-BILLING FILE

Proceed as described under chapter Data Extraction in order to extract Self-billing data, choose the
respective Extract Module 9 Self Billing. Upon filling the selection parameters, a new user input sub window
appears. It is specific for the Self-billing scenario and allows you to choose the vendors for whom you want
to run the report and create the file.
Options:
 Extract for individual Vendor: choose this option to run the file only for specific Vendors
 Create data for All Vendors: choose this option to run the file for all Vendors at once. A Self-billing
SAF-T file will be created for each of the vendors entered in the customizing table as described
under chapter Portugal -> Generate Selfbilling files.
 Selfbilling Vendor: fill this field with the vendor ID or vendor ID range according to the files you
want to create. These selection fields are available for the Extract for individual Vendor option only.
Continue as described under chapter Data Extraction.
In the case of Self-billing SAF-T file creation the log will refer to the data related to the Self-billing vendors
set, whether documents exist, etc.

DELETING EXTRACTED DATA FOR SELF-BILLING FILE
To delete the extract for re-extraction of data for the same vendor for already extracted periods or for
clearing the database after the submission process is completed and verified, if needed, select the option
Extract Data > “Delete” as shown below.
Like the Extraction, the Deletion of extracted data can be done for individual vendors or for all vendors as
maintained in the table and for which there were data extracted previously.
To delete the data for an individual vendor or for a few vendors, select the “Delete for Individual Vendor”
option and provide the relevant vendor numbers in the “Self Billing Vendor” selection field.
If all Self-billing data extracts need to be deleted select the “Delete for All Vendors” option and execute the
report
In both cases the deleted data from the extract table is shown in the log showing next.

12SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS: FSV FOR GENERAL LEDGER
The file section GeneralLedger in Masterfiles contains the data regarding the company’s accounts..
As of Portaria 160/2013, this section shall include all accounts, even internal accounts, in a hierarchically
structured manner. This is a legal change compared to the previous rule, where only valid bookkeeping
accounts were required and the hierarchical structure was not reflected.
To achieve this, special configurations are needed in the SAP system. The tool used is the Financial
Statement Version (FSV), a standard tool in SAP Financials. In SAP, this information is pulled from FI.
Once the FSV has been created it must be defined in the RPFIEU_SAFT settings so that the program knows
which one to use. If necessary, update the FSV every time the chart of accounts changes. To know more
about how to set the FSV for the report, please refer to chapter Specify Generic information.
NOTE: The existence of an FSV is NOT needed for retrieving the accounting documents into SAF-T. In
compliance with the legal requirement, all financial postings are selected for SAF-T.
LEGAL CHART OF ACCOUNTS - SNC

In the Portuguese Official Chart of Accounts – SNC – accounts are structured in a hierarchy consisting of
movement accounts (lower level) and grouping accounts (higher level) (see picture below). Movement
accounts are accounts where the actual postings are registered and grouping accounts are accounts that
group movement accounts of the same kind and totalize the balances.
The image below is an excerpt of the SNC.
CHART OF ACCOUNTS IN SAF-T – GENERALLEDGER

The 2.1.-GeneralLedger file section includes the Chart of Accounts information. It has the following fields:
Field number Field Name
2.1.1 AccountID
2.1.2 AccountDescription
2.1.3 OpeningDebitBalance
69 | P a g e
2.1.4 OpeningCreditBalance
2.1.5 ClosingDebitBalance
2.1.6 ClosingCreditBalance
2.1.7 GroupingCategory
2.1.8 GroupingCode
The fields GroupingCategory and GroupingCode characterize an account in two aspect.
The GroupingCategory field indicates
 the level of the account: 1st level, grouping account or movement account, and
 whether it is an internal or analytical account, or a bookkeeping account
The GroupingCode field indicates the account in the immediate upper level of the account in question,
except for 1st level accounts, which are the highest level.
Thus, the accounts information included in the GeneralLedger section reflects the CoA structure according
to the SNC.
CHART OF ACCOUNTS IN THE SAP SYSTEM FOR SAF-T

In the SAP system, accounts are stored in a flat table. The concept of a hierarchical Chart of Accounts (CoA)
with grouping and movement accounts does not exist. In order to correctly select and structure the account
information as required, the Financial Statement Version (FSV) is used. The FSV is a tool in Standard SAP
Financials that is used to build a report structure based on accounts, such as the Balance Sheet, the P&L
Statement, etc.
12.3.1 Using the FSV to create a hierarchical CoA

The FSV is a reporting tool that is used in this context to build the CoA as needed in the GeneralLedger
section. It allows you to build the hierarchy, to define the account groups, to characterize accounts as
internal or as bookkeeping accounts, to distinguish movement, grouping and 1st level accounts and to sum
balances.
In this chapter important details are described that have to be considered to create an FSV that fulfils all
SAF-T requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is recommended to create a specific FSV for the SAF-T purpose. The ones normally
used for Balance Sheet or Trial Balances do not comply with all requisites. Only by creating a specific FSV
can you ensure that all the necessary settings can be done without interfering with other FSV applications.
12.3.2 How to create an FSV for SAF-T

Use transaction OB58 to create the FSV.
The FSV can be created based on the Primary Chart of Accounts (KTOPL) or on the Country Chart of
Accounts (KTOP2). Choose the option that is in place in your company code.
70 | P a g e
When defining the FSV for SAF-T please consider the following:
a) The CoA structure according to SNC:
For this, you need to define the group and the 1st level of each account in accordance with the SNC.
For example: consider that you use in the system 4 different cash accounts.
According to SNC, the characterization of the accounts is as follows:
Account No. Account description CoA level
Cash and cash

100000 1st level
equivalents
110000 Cash Grouping account level
111000 Cash account A Movement account
112000 Cash account B Movement account
113000 Cash account C Movement account
114000 Cash account D Movement account
Since only the movement accounts actually exist in the system, you must therefore define the two upper
levels (shown in blue) in the FSV. Only then they can be reflected in the SAF-T file.
The 1st level account and the grouping account (shown above in blue) normally are not defined in the SAP
system, because they are not used for posting. This can be solved with the FSV and is explained below.
b) The SAF-T GeneralLedger
When translating what is said above to the SAF-T fields in the GeneralLedger section, you must pay special
attention to specific fields where the characteristics of the CoA are determined. Please look at the example
in the table below where this is explained: two columns were added to show how to use the fields
GroupingCategory and GroupingCode.
SAF-T
Account GroupingCategory SAF-T
Account description CoA level GroupingCode
No. Official Internal [=the node above]
accts accts
Cash and cash

100000 1st level GR AR
equivalents
Grouping account
110000 Cash GA AA 100000
level
111000 Cash account A Movement account GM AM 110000
71 | P a g e
112000 Cash account B Movement account GM AM 110000
113000 Cash account C Movement account GM AM 110000
114000 Cash account D Movement account GM AM 110000
Define for each account in the CoA how to fill the GroupingCategory and GroupingCode fields.
The GroupingCategory determines two characteristics: the account level and the account nature as
bookkeeping or internal account.
 Account nature: G means bookkeeping account: GR, GA and GM; A means internal account:
AR, AA and AM.
 Account level: R means 1st level, A means grouping account level and M means movement
account level. Thus GR and AR are used for 1st level accounts, GA and AA for grouping
accounts and GM and AM for movement accounts.
c) The FSV structure:
Once the CoA structure has been defined, proceed to create the FSV, with its items and nodes so as to
correspond to the CoA structure.
The upper FSV item corresponds to the 1st Level Account, the node below corresponds to grouping
account, and the accounts grouped by the node are the movement accounts. Refer to the images below
where this is explained.
 The opening and closing balances will be summed from bottom to top:
from the underlying movement accounts into the Grouping account, and from the grouping
accounts into the 1st Level Account.
NOTE: Be sure to flag Debit and Credit for all accounts, otherwise duplication of the account can happen in
the XML file.
d) Bookkeeping and internal accounts:
The accounts must also be characterized according to whether they are internal (eg. analytical account, not
official account of the SNC) or bookkeeping accounts. This is specified in the Item text field of the FSV item.
72 | P a g e
 Internal account: to specify an account as internal use the prefix “TP” in the FSV item text
field, followed by the text of your choice. See the picture below. The report automatically
interprets this as an internal account indicator. For these accounts the system will
automatically fill the GroupingCategory field with one the respective codes (AR, AA or AM),
according to the account level.
 Bookkeeping account: all accounts where the prefix is not used, are interpreted as
bookkeeping accounts.
e) Account level:
The accounts must also be differentiated according to their hierarchical level. In the FSV the account level is
determined according to the FSV level to which the account has been assigned. The SAF-T report interprets
this automatically and fills the GroupingCategory field accordingly:
SAF-T
GroupingCategory
CoA level FSV level
Official Internal
accts accts
1st level Main parent node: 1st Item level GR AR
Grouping account Sub node: 2nd Item level GA AA
Movement Lowest level: the actual GL account

GM AM
account assigned to the 1st or 2nd node
Please see the example below for bookkeeping accounts.
73 | P a g e
NOTE: Be sure to flag Debit and Credit for all accounts, otherwise duplication of the account can happen in
the XML file.
f) Hierarchical structure:
The hierarchical structure of the accounts is expressed by the GroupingCode field in the SAF-T. It contains
the account ID of the parent account (the level immediately above). In terms of FSV this corresponds to the
account specified in the immediate parent node. The report fills this field automatically and nothing needs
to be specified by the user.
This is valid for all accounts except for the 1st Level Account, since it does not have a parent node. The
table below shows how the GroupingCode field would be filled by the report in the case of the example
above.
SAF-T
Account No.
GroupingCode
100000
110000 100000
111000 110000
112000 110000
113000 110000
114000 110000
g) Summing the balances:
The SAF-T file also requires the opening and the closing balances of each account. For grouping accounts
and for 1st level accounts the balances consist in the sum of the balances of the accounts below.
In order to sum the account balances from the underlying accounts proceed as follows: check the Display
total checkbox in the FSV item. The report will automatically sum the balances of the underlying accounts
and write the value in the OpeningBalance and ClosingBalance fields.
74 | P a g e
In the example above,
 The account 110000 should show the sum of the underlying accounts; in the example accounts
111000, 112000, 113000, 114000.
 The account 100000 should show the sum of the underlying accounts; in this example account
110000.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Start of Group, End of Group and Graduated Total fields must be left empty, as shown in the image
below marked in yellow). This is important for technical reasons because if any text is maintained here, the
accounts will appear multiple times in the file.
Leave Start of Group,

End of Group and
Graduated Total fields

13SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS: PRODUCTS IN FI INVOICES
Sometimes invoices are posted directly in the accounting system instead of the billing system. Such invoices
are what we usually referred to as FI invoices. These invoices have to be reported in this SAF-T file as well.
Normally the goods or services invoiced in FI are not taken from products/services databases, as it is the
case in billing systems (such as SD), and no product/service master record exists. However, even for such
documents the SAF-T file requires master data information to be reported (ProductCode, ProductGroup,
ProductDescription).
The documents affected are invoices posted in FI and invoices from the Real Estate module (RE-FX). The
process for such scenarios is the subject of this chapter. For the settings please refer to chapters Specify
Generic Settings in detail and Country-Specific Settings in detail.
DETERMINATION OF THE PRODUCT DATA

In FI invoices information about the invoiced product/service frequently exists only in the document itself
and not as organized data in a database. Therefore, in order to adequately fill the respective fields in the
SAF-T file the information has to be derived from the data given in the invoice document. This affects the
fields ProductCode, ProductGroup, ProductDescription.
In the following three situations are described which need special treatment.
NOTE: Always be sure to define the product ID in a way to prevent the creation of duplicates to the ones
defined in MARA or for RE invoices.
13.1.1 Real Estate invoices (RE-FX): ProductCode definition

RE-FX invoices can be recognized by their fields Contract Type (TZB0A-RANTYP) and Flow Type (TZB0A-
SBEWART) which are RE specific and always populated. Their value is characteristic for the given business
event of the invoice.
Therefore it seemed natural to take the concatenation of these two fields as the Product Code. This is done
automatically by the system, and if needed, a prefix can be defined to ensure that the number is unique
(see details under chapter Portugal ( Specify Prefix for Material Numbers).
For organizing and storing the product number with the additional data needed please refer to chapter
Storing the product information.
The image below describes the process flow, from the invoice reading to the filling of the SAF-T XML file, in
3 steps.
76 | P a g e
13.1.2 FI invoices: ProductCode definition
For non-Real Estate FI invoices (direct FI postings not fulfilling the criteria for RE invoices) not containing
material reference from MARA, the product/service can be derived from the revenue account that was
posted. For example, if the “Security Services” revenue account was posted, the product derived may be
“Security Services”.
Now, the logic to define the product number must be found. There are two options, one based on the
PTSAFT_MATACCNT table, and the other based on SAFPT_FIMD table:
1. If a product master record in MARA table is used to maintain the product information, use
PTSAFT_MATACCNT table to create the link to the MARA table. For details please refer to chapter Define
Material Numbers Based on G/L Accounts.
2. If the MARA table for product master records is not maintained, use SAFPT_FIMD table to store the
relevant information as needed for the SAF-T file. For details on how to maintain the table, please refer to
chapter Storing the product information.
The image below describes the process flow, from the invoice reading to the filling of the SAFT XML file.
77 | P a g e
78 | P a g e
13.1.3 FI invoices with Material: ProductCode determination
Sometimes FI invoices are posted with reference to the product/service master record (MARA-MATNR). In
this case the material number field is populated in the document and all information can be easily retrieved
from MARA table. No further action is needed.
STORING THE PRODUCT INFORMATION (RE-FX AND FI INVOICES)

Once the definition of the product number (ProductCode) is set, a way must be found to organize and store
the product code associated with the pertaining details. There are two options
1) Use the appropriate Materials Master Record table from MM/SD (MARA table).
2) If the MARA table is not being used at all it may be found more practical to use SAFTPT_FIMD table, as
it requires no further system configuration and is meant for this particular purpose only.
For either option, now you need to create new entries with the product codes obtained as described under
chapters Real Estate invoices (RE-FX): ProductCode definition and FI invoices: ProductCode definition,
associated with the other information needed (ProductGroup, ProductDescription). When running the
report the data is taken from here to fill the fields in the XML file.
Explanation of the fields in the XML file.
