Export general ledger entries for tax audits in the French version
Hinweis
This article describes the Include Opening Balances behavior for the French FEC audit file. To generate the file, use the Audit File Export Documents page, as described in Export general ledger entries for tax audits.
In France, companies must provide corporate tax and VAT information, such as transactions and general ledger postings, for audits in a file format that is specified by tax authorities. In [!INCLUDE[prod_short](../../includes/prod_short.md)], this information is recorded in a standard audit file that is designed to provide information about account types that include posted entries.
You can include opening balances in the file, but these aren't actual posted entries. [!INCLUDE[prod_short](../../includes/prod_short.md)] calculates opening balance by using account entries up to the starting date that you specify for the file. The calculation also includes the closing entries that are generated by closing the prior year. The opening balances are mapped to the required fields in the report.
If you don't close your fiscal year or don't run the Close Year action before generating the report, the file includes balances from income statement accounts.
Hinweis
Opening balances are included in the report only for accounts with balances that aren't equal to zero. To identify opening balances, look for the following values in the following fields:
- JournalCode = 0
- JournalLib = BALANCE OUVERTURE
- EcritureNum = 0
- EcritureLib = Accounts prefixed with BAL OUV
- ValidDate = Start date specified on the report's request page
Hinweis
Before exporting general ledger entries, make sure you have marked G/L Accounts to be detailed when exporting opening balances. This is usually a requirement for bank, customer, and vendor G/L Accounts. This is done by enabling the checkbox in the field Detailed Balance on the G/L Account Card page.
