Provide accounting data in SAF-T format
SAF-T financial is a standard format for exchanging accounting data used in Norway.
The SAF-T Code field is the basis for the account number reported in the SAF-T file. It can be found in the Main Info area in the Chart of Accounts (ACC) application.

The SAF-T Code field will be the basis for the account number reported in the SAF-T file. The reason for this is that one should report on standard accounts in the SAF-T file. It is therefore important that you go through the Chart of Account (ACC) and ensure that all accounts have a standard account in the SAF-T Code field before submitting this file for the first time.
The Validate Accounts to SAF-T Accounts report shows an overview of all ledger accounts and which SAF-T code is used, as well as which standard account they are linked to. Open the ACC application and press F12 to open the action menu and choose the Report: Validate Accounts to SAF-T Accounts option.

Note: If an account does not have a SAF-T code, RamBase will use the linked standard account when reporting the SAF-T file. RamBase uses the four-digit standard SAF-T chart of accounts as default accounts for mapping.
