Key: pt-saft-v1 Module: github.com/invopop/gobl.pt.saft Portugal doesn’t have an e-invoicing format per se. Tax information is reported electronically to the AT (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira) either periodically in batches via a SAF-T (PT) report or individually in real time via a web service. This addon ensures that the GOBL documents have all the required fields to be able to be reported to the AT.

Extensions

Invoice Type

SAF-T’s InvoiceType (Tipo de documento) specifies the type of a sales invoice. In GOBL, this type can be set using the pt-saft-invoice-type extension in the tax section. GOBL will set the extension for you based on the type and the tax tags you set in your invoice. The table below shows how this mapping is done: Example:

Payment Type

To report payment receipts to the AT, GOBL provides conversion from bill.Payment documents. In a payment, the SAF-T’s PaymentType (Tipo de documento) field specifies its type. In GOBL, this type can be set using the pt-saft-payment-type extension. GOBL will set the extension automatically based on the type and the tax tags you set. The table below shows how this mapping is done: For example:

Tax Rate Code

The SAF-T’s TaxCode (Código do imposto) is required for invoice items that apply VAT. GOBL provides the pt-saft-tax-rate extension to set this code at line tax level. It also determines it automatically this code using the rate field (when present). The following table lists the supported tax codes and how GOBL will map them:

Tax exemption reason code

The SAF-T’s TaxExemptionCode (Código do motivo de isenção de imposto) is a code that specifies the reason the VAT tax is exempt in a Portuguese invoice. When the exempt tag is used in a tax combo, the ext map’s pt-saft-exemption property is required. The SAF-T’s TaxExemptionReason (Motivo da isenção de imposto) is a text that justifies the exemption referencing the relevant legislation. In GOBL, this is provided with a special line-level note. By default, if no note is provided, GOBL will automatically assign a default one consistent with the exemption code. However, note that default texts are generic and not always sufficiently precise to comply with the regulations. The invoice issuer should be given the option to provide a custom note with the appropriate descriptive text. For example, you could define an invoice line exempt of tax with the exemption code and the reason as follows:

Product Type

SAF-T’s ProductType (Indicador de produto ou serviço) indicates the type of each line item in an invoice. The pt-saft-product-type extension used at line item level allows to set the product type to one of the allowed values. Example:

Document Type

SAF-T’s WorkType (Tipo de documento de conferência) specifies the type of a working document. In GOBL, this type can be set using the pt-saft-work-type extension in either bill.Invoice or bill.Order documents. GOBL will set the extension for you based on the document type in some cases. The table below shows the supported work type codes and their compatibility with GOBL objects: Example for a proforma invoice:
Example for a purchase order:

Payment Means

The SAF-T’s PaymentMechanism (Meios de pagamento) field specifies the payment means in a sales invoice or payment. GOBL provides the pt-saft-payment-means extension to set this value in your bill.Invoice advances or in your bill.Payment method. GOBL maps certain payment mean keys automatically to this extension: (*) For codes not mapped from a GOBL Payment Mean, use other and explicitly set the extension. For example, in a GOBL invoice:
For example, in a GOBL receipt:

Document Source

SAF-T’s SourceBilling (Origem do documento) field specifies the source of the document. GOBL provides the pt-saft-source extension to set this value in your documents. By default, GOBL will set this extension to “P” (Produced). The table below shows the supported source billing codes: Example:

Source Document Reference

GOBL provides the pt-saft-source-ref extension to provide the full reference to a document integrated from another system, recovered or issued manually. This extension is required when the document source (pt-saft-source extension) is “M” (manual) or “I” (integrated). It must contain the complete document reference to be appended to the SAF-T’s HashControl field as stipulated by Despacho n.o 8632/2014. Example with a manual document:
Example with a recovered document:

Movement Type

SAF-T’s MovementType (Tipo de documento de movimentação de mercadorias) specifies the type of a delivery document. In GOBL, this type can be set using the pt-saft-movement-type extension. If not provided explicitly, GOBL will set the extension for you based on the type and tags of your delivery document. The table below shows how this mapping is done: (*) or codes not mapped from a GOBL type or tag; use other as the delivery type and explicitly set the extension. For example, to indicate a return delivery (GD):
For example, to set a movement type with no GOBL equivalent (e.g. GA):
