The Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) is an internationally recognized standard for electronically exchanging reliable accounting data between organizations and national tax authorities or external auditors. It allows the export of various types of accounting transactional data in XML format. SAF-T Financial is a standard developed collaboratively by the business community, the accounting sector, and the Norwegian Tax Administration, based on OECD recommendations.

Latest SAF-T (DK) Configuration

The latest SAF-T (DK) ER configuration remains at version 164.20. Additionally, the SAF-T General model mapping must be set as the default.

Issue with Feature “Minimize Memory Consumption by Storing Datasets at ER Reports Runtime”

To successfully generate the SAF-T (DK) and SAF-T (LT) files, you must deactivate the feature:

“Minimize memory consumption by storing datasets at ER reports runtime.”

If this feature is enabled, the following error message will occur:

🚨 “Cannot find ‘DisplayValue’ field in ‘DimensionAttributeLevelValueView’ table.”

This issue affects both SAF-T (DK) and SAF-T (LT) configurations.

Fix Available in 10.0.42 (10.0.2095.93) Update and newer versions

In the latest quality update for 10.0.42 (10.0.2095.93), a fix has been introduced that allows users to activate the feature “Minimize memory consumption by storing datasets at ER reports runtime” without encountering errors.

This fix ensures that fields from one of the tables in a join-calculated field are excluded under specific conditions. It optimizes cached application data, reducing memory consumption by storing only the necessary field values used for Electronic Reporting (ER) format execution.
