Pluriva ERP + SAF-T D406 — From 32h/month to 3h/month with automated reconciliation
Pluriva generates the SAF-T D406 report, but manual reconciliation with D300/D394 takes 28-42h/month and leaves red flags for tax audits. The Azuvio SAF-T Reconciler automates this with 30+ rules.

The SAF-T D406 issue in Pluriva
Pluriva generates the SAF-T D406 report according to the ANAF (the Romanian tax authority) schema — but it does not perform automated reconciliation with D300 (VAT), D394 (recapitulative statements), and the trial balance. Result: the accountant spends 28-42h/month on parallel Excel sheets to verify that:
Total VAT in D406 = Total VAT in D300.
Total intra-community acquisitions in D406 = D394.
Balance of accounts 411/401 in D406 = trial balance.
Stock movements in D406 = physical stock journal.
Fixed asset commissioning (PIF) in D406 = fixed asset register.
Risk: red flags during a tax authority inspection (8-15% probability during audit) = penalties of 5,000-50,000 RON + the obligation for retroactive rectification.
Azuvio SAF-T Reconciler — 30+ automated rules
