See how the SAF-T Reader work
If you don't have any audit file and you want to see how the SAF-T Reader work, we make available some test file you can experiment with.
Current limitations
- Cost centres are not currently imported
- Customers and suppliers are not linked to the accounts, only the opening amount is shown for them.
- The '.xml' file provided to test the audit file reader already has accounting differences in itself and once imported into the accounts a warning appears of the difference between the opening balance amounts.
- The file comes directly from the following gitHub repository: saf-t Example Files.
Accounts
When the extension is run, the script retrieves the following data from the audit file:
- Ledger accounts
- Account number
- Description
- Opening and current balance
- Customer and supplier accounts
- Description
- BClass
The extension also adds a column called "Balance file", which contains the balance calculated from the data in the xml file, thus providing double assurance that all amounts match.
Transactions
Imported transactions are grouped by number. The number of each transaction can be seen in the "Doc" column.
- Date: date of the transaction
- Doc: document number (rows with the same doc number belong to the same transaction)
- Description: description of the transaction
- Debit Account: debit account of the transaction
- Credit Account: credit account of the transaction
- Amount: amount of the transaction
After import
When the import processes are finished, the accountant can use the chart of accounts, the transactions, the accounting properties and finally all the functions of Banana accounting to help him do his job.
