SAF-T Finance in Marathon

Settings

Skatteetaten’s website contains information on how different codes should be mapped and entered for SAF-T reporting. This section describes what needs to be done in Marathon.

Company information

Enter the company details and contact person in System | Base register | Company specific parameters, on the E-documents tab. Enter the details for all companies that are to submit the SAF-T report.

Parameters

Go to Accounting | Backoffice | Base registers | Parameters, open the accounting year and the VAT tab. Enter the reporting code for output VAT under Reporting code to the authorities.

VAT classes

All VAT classes for input VAT in the current accounting year must be mapped in accordance with the standard. Enter the Reporting code to the authorities for each VAT class in Accounting | Backoffice | Base registers, on the General ledger tab.

Chart of accounts

For all accounts in Accounting | Backoffice | Base registers | Accounts, the SRU code, SAF-T Grouping category and SAF-T Grouping code must be entered. These fields can be batch changed and are displayed in the list of accounts.

Clients and suppliers

Clients to whom an invoice has been sent and suppliers from whom an invoice has been received must have a VAT number and a postal address in Marathon, regardless of whether they are liable for VAT. The postal address must be entered in full, including both the postcode and town, e.g. 0101 Oslo. The VAT number must be entered in the format 999999999MVA or NO999999999MVA. This information is registered for clients in project accounting, for clients in media, or – if Marathon’s direct invoicing is used – for clients in the Sales ledger. With the VAT number mandatory setting, you can specify that the VAT number must be entered for suppliers. This setting is found under Accounting | Backoffice | Base registers, on the Purchase ledger tab. Open Parameters, then the Suppliers tab.

Print the report

The SAF-T report is printed under Accounting | Reports, on the General ledger tab. Enter the accounting period and click Export. Save the file.
