About this Product
SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is the OECD-defined XML format that a growing list of European tax authorities require on demand — Norway (SAF-T Financial), Portugal (SAF-T PT), Romania (D406), Poland (JPK), Lithuania (i.SAF/i.VAZ) and others, each with its own schema version and field semantics. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central holds all the source data, but core BC ships SAF-T only for a narrow set of localizations, and the format the auditor expects rarely matches what you can produce out of the box.
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE designs, builds, and installs it as a per-tenant AL extension on your own Business Central environment (cloud or on-premises), then supports it. We map your General Ledger, customers/vendors (AR/AP), inventory and master data onto the exact country-specific SAF-T schema and version your authority mandates, including the standard-account-code and tax-code crosswalks that trip up most DIY attempts.
The extension reads BC data through supported AL patterns — table and page extensions, event subscribers, and the BC API/OData layer — so it stays upgrade-safe across monthly BC releases. You generate files for a period or a full fiscal year, validate them against the authority's published XSD before anything leaves your tenant, and assemble an audit-ready package with the submission helper. Long-running exports run through the BC Job Queue, and dedicated permission sets keep generation in the right hands.
Pricing is a one-time USD 399 build for a single target jurisdiction and schema version. We confirm the exact schema, fields, and lead time in a short scoping call before any code is written, so what we deliver is the file your tax office actually accepts.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central AL extension package (.app) built for your specified target jurisdiction and SAF-T schema version
- Installation and deployment of the extension into your Business Central environment (cloud production/sandbox or on-premises), including the per-tenant publish
- Country schema mapping configuration: chart-of-accounts crosswalk, tax/VAT code mapping, and company/header metadata set up against real test data
- Permission sets and a Job Queue setup for scheduled or on-demand file generation
- A validated sample SAF-T export for a chosen period, confirmed against the authority's XSD before handover
- A short admin guide plus a recorded or live handover walkthrough for your finance team, and post-delivery support per the agreed window
Who this is for
Finance / Tax Manager filing in Europe
Responsible for producing SAF-T files when the tax authority requests them and accountable if the lodgement is rejected. Needs a file that passes XSD validation and matches the mandated schema version without manual XML editing.
Business Central Administrator / Controller
Owns the BC tenant and worries about upgrade safety and access control. Wants a per-tenant AL extension that survives monthly releases, runs through the Job Queue, and is locked down with proper permission sets.
Group Finance Lead with multi-country entities
Operates several legal entities across different SAF-T regimes and needs each company to export to its own country schema and version from the same Business Central deployment, with a consistent, auditable process.

Frequently Asked Questions about SAF-T Audit File Export for Business Central
Is this an instant download from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE designs and builds it specifically for your target jurisdiction and SAF-T schema version, then installs it as a per-tenant AL extension on your own Business Central environment. There is no AppSource listing to click-install — we deliver and deploy it for you.
How long does delivery take?
After a short scoping call to confirm the exact country, schema version and required SAF-T sections, a typical single-jurisdiction build is delivered in about one working week. The timeline depends on schema complexity, the state of your chart-of-accounts mapping, and your environment (cloud sandbox availability or on-premises access). We confirm a firm lead time in writing before work begins.
What happens with ongoing support and updates when the schema changes?
Tax authorities revise SAF-T schemas and XSDs periodically. The one-time USD 399 build includes a post-delivery support window for fixes to what we shipped. When an authority publishes a new schema version, or you need to add another country, ECOSIRE provides that as a scoped follow-on update. We can also agree an ongoing maintenance arrangement so your extension stays current with authority changes.
Will the file actually pass the tax authority's validation?
Yes — that is the core of the build. Every generated file is validated against the authority's published XSD inside Business Central before you download it, and we confirm a real sample export passes validation during handover. We do not rely solely on the XSD: the chart-of-accounts and tax-code crosswalks are mapped to your specific posting setup so the file is semantically correct, not just well-formed.
Does it work on Business Central cloud (SaaS) and on-premises?
Both. The extension is written in AL using upgrade-safe patterns — table and page extensions, event subscribers, and the BC API/OData layer — and is published as a per-tenant extension. It installs on Business Central online (SaaS) production or sandbox, and on on-premises deployments. We deploy it into whichever environment you run.
