Field help (SAFTDAT)

Enter a date range to extract data within that range according to the SAF-T rules: Accounting data must be exported from the first day of the fiscal year to the end date. On the other hand, customer invoice data can be partially exported within these guidelines:

• The time period must correspond to a complete month(s).
• For completed month(s), you can add the last uncompleted month.

The initial date is only relevant for customer invoices (sales information) because entry journals are forced to the first day of the fiscal year. The end date is applied to both groups of data.

The control of these dates is made at the process level and not at the screen level. This is because these controls are mandatory to Portugal but they may not be mandatory for another country extracting SAF-T data.

The examples below show date ranges that would not be and would be allowed for SAF-T extraction and why. For these samples, 19/10/2011 is the current date and 01/01/2011 is the first date of the fiscal year:

• 10/06/2011 to 14/07/2011 — not allowed: incomplete months
• 01/12/2010 to 31/01/2011 — not allowed: different fiscal years
• 01/06/2011 to 17/07/2011 — not allowed: incomplete months
• 01/06/2011 to 30/06/2011 — allowed: accounting information from 01/01/2011 to 30/06/2011 and sales information from 01/06/2011 to 30/06/2011
• 01/06/2011 to 31/07/2011 — allowed: accounting information from 01/01/2011 to 31/07/2011 and sales information from 01/06/2011 to 31/07/2011
• 01/07/2011 to 19/10/2011 — allowed: accounting information from 01/01/2011 to 19/10/2011 and sales information from 01/07/2011 to 19/10/2011 (although November is not a complete month, it is the last incomplete month)
