Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) and SAF-T D406: Automating D300/D394 Reconciliation, 2026 ROI
SAF-T D406 requires reconciliation with D300 (VAT) and D394 (purchases/sales). How Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) generates SAF-T and how SAF-T Reconciler reduces processing time from 40h/month to 3h/month.

The SAF-T D406 Context in RO
SAF-T D406 (Standard Audit File for Tax) is the mandatory monthly filing for all large enterprises (since 2022) and mid-market companies (phased in 2023-2026). It contains detailed data on:
Chart of Accounts (Chapter 1)
Customers + Suppliers (Chapter 2)
Inventory + Items (Chapter 3)
Fixed Assets (Chapter 4)
GL Transactions (Chapter 5)
Sales Invoices (Chapter 6)
Purchase Invoices (Chapter 7)
Stock Movements (Chapter 8)
How Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) Generates SAF-T D406
Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) includes a SAF-T module via an add-on that:
1. Extracts data from GL, AR, AP, and Inventory modules
2. Maps the Chart of Accounts → RAS taxonomy of ANAF (the Romanian tax authority)
3. Generates XML files according to the D406 schema
4. Performs XSD validation
5. Submits to the SPV (Private Virtual Space) of the tax authority
The Real Problem: D406-D300-D394 Reconciliation
The tax authority performs automated cross-checks between:
D406 (SAF-T) — the source of truth
D300 (monthly VAT return) — total collected / deductible VAT
D394 (local sales / purchases) — transaction list
If these three do not match → audit red flag. Companies typically allocate 40-60h/month of a Head Accountant's time for manual reconciliation:
Exact match between SAF-T Chapter 6 (sales) and D300 collected VAT
Exact match between SAF-T Chapter 7 (purchases) and D300 deductible VAT
Match between SAF-T Chapter 5 (transactions) and D394 sales/purchases
Match between SAF-T Chapter 8 (inventory) and end-of-period stock balance
Why Native Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) Does Not Handle This
Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) generates each statutory report separately, but does not cross-check between them. The native module:
Generates D406 ✓
Generates D300 ✓
Generates D394 ✓
Does not reconcile them against each other ✗
Azuvio SAF-T Reconciler
SAF-T Reconciler runs before the submission to the tax authority, acting as a cross-check layer:
VIES/VAT ID Validator (active / struck off / inactive status)
RAS taxonomy mapper (Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP) Chart of Accounts → Tax Authority codes)
D406 ↔ D300 Cross-check (VAT per rate)
D406 ↔ D394 Cross-check (local sales/purchases)
Stock-document linkage (inventory movements ↔ goods received notes/waybills/invoices)
Payment-invoice matching (receipts/payments ↔ invoices)
Dashboard for real-time discrepancies + suggested auto-fixes
SAF-T Reconciler ROI for Epicor Kinetic (ex-Epicor ERP)
For a company with 2,500 invoices/month:
Time before: 40-60h/month manual reconciliation
Time after Reconciler: 3-5h/month review + approval
Savings: 35-55h/month = 17-26k EUR/year
Audit risk: decreases dramatically (zero red flags)
