[en] Provide accounting data in SAF-T format from 1 January 2025
[en] SAF-T financial is a standard format for exchanging accounting data used in Norway. Version 1.30 is required from 1 January 2025. From this date, the SAF-t grouping codes will be included in the SAF-T file instead of the SAF-T code. However, SAF-T code in ACC will not be removed for now, since it might be needed if SAF-T should be reported for data prior to 2025.
