As in the SPED ECF, recovering bookkeeping from the previous year also becomes mandatory in the SPED ECD

Since its emergence in 2015 (calendar year 2014), SPED ECF has brought news in relation to the automatic generation / crossing of data from the recovery of other digital deeds. In its first version, the SPED ECF validator (PVA) required the recovery of the SPED ECD file of the same calendar year.

This generated a dependence on the ECF in relation to the ECD, to fill in account balance data in the records of blocks C, E, J, K and L. Such dependence also increased the rigor of the quality of generation of the ECD, since the validator ( PVA) of SPED ECF has already appeared to be more rigorous in the validation of accounting data than the SPED ECD validator itself.

Throughout its evolution, the SPED ECF validator also started to demand the recovery of the ECF bookkeeping from the previous calendar year, in order to fill in data for e-LALUR / e-LACS balances in the E and M records. this feature will also apply in the SPED ECD.

From layout 8 (calendar year 2019 and special situations 2020), there is the recovery functionality of the previous ECD in PVA (version 7.0). It is worth mentioning that the recovery of the previous ECD is mandatory and must be performed by the user in the PVA itself, after importing the ECD file for the calendar year 2019 and special situations of 2020, through the menu “Bookkeeping / Recover Previous ECD”. After the recovery of the previous ECD, filling in data from Block C (Recovery of the previous ECD) is done automatically.

The SAP eDocument Framework is a solution for electronic document exchange in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Governments of several countries around the world, mainly in Latin America, have implemented digital transformation programs focused on tax, accounting, financial, customs, and labor governance.

Such initiatives involve complex legal requirements and document types that relate to data from virtually all business operations and processes. In addition to having a rigorous and multidisciplinary nature, standards are constantly changing and require information to be stored in a secure, traceable, and accessible way for different entities and people, from government agencies and certification authorities to auditors, customers, suppliers, partners, and consumers, among others.

IT managers and business areas (Tax, Accounting, Customer Service, and Foreign Trade) of global companies have been reaching out to Origen, looking for solutions to help them face different challenges:

– What is the best way to achieve and maintain compliance?

– How should companies deal with different systems and suppliers to meet the legal requirements of each country?

– How can companies ensure that all information is correct and centralized only in their proprietary SAP system, without the need to use third party software and manage the resulting problems with data synchronization?

Origen’s SAP eDocument Framework solution enables compliance for electronic documents under the standards of several countries, through a single SAP platform. Invoices and many other types of electronic documents are supported by the solution, including payment vouchers, tax withholding certificates, debit/credit notes, shipping documents, and more.

Currently, the eDocument platform has support for work in 13 countries: Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Slovenia, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey.

Mexico e-Invoice

In this blog post, we will discuss electronic invoice needs and solutions for Mexico.

The SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria), the Mexican governmental agency in charge of tax and customs management services, sets several standards with which Mexican companies must comply. These standards are related to the CFF (Código Fiscal de la Federación) and RMF (Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal), the main references for the country’s tax laws.

Each RFC (a unique registration code that identifies taxpayers in Mexico) must administer different types of taxes and contributions. Among the principal types are the IVA (Impuesto al Valor Agregado), IETU (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Única), IEPS (Impuesto Especial sobre Producción y Servicios), ISR (Impuesto sobre la Renta), IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social), SAR (Sistema de Ahorro para el Retiro) and INFONAVIT (Instituto del Fondo Nacional de la Vivienda para los Trabajadores).

One of the most important programs of the SAT is the CFDI (Comprobante Fiscal Digital por Internet). This initiative contemplates different types of services related to electronic invoicing, such as issuance, consultation, download, cancellation, payment supplements (complemento de pagos), foreign trade supplement (complemento de comercio exterior), invoices for the Zona Fronteriza Norte, and payroll receipts (recibo de nómina).

How has Origen helped Mexican companies ensure compliance with Electronic Invoices through the SAP eDocument Framework solution? Check out the top 10 highlights:
