What SAF-T means for a distribution company
SAF-T, submitted via the D406 declaration to the national tax authority, requires the structured transmission of accounting and operational data: customer, supplier and item catalogues, sales and purchase documents, stocks and payments. For a distribution company, the challenge is not the filing itself, but the quality of the catalogues from which the data is extracted.
Companies managing thousands of items and tens of thousands of documents often discover legacy issues during SAF-T / statutory audit file preparation: duplicate codes, inconsistent units of measure, or customers missing valid VAT IDs. The file demands a level of data consistency that daily operations might otherwise overlook.
The role of CRMconnect is upstream: customer files validated with the national tax authority (ANAF), clean item catalogues, and complete, traceable commercial documents. The actual submission remains the responsibility of the accounting department, handled within the ERP - such as SAP Business One or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - or the specific reporting software.
