SAF-T › D406 checks beyond ANAF
Unbalanced journal entry in D406 (debit ≠ credit)
How it shows in our report
SAFT-GL-01 · Transaction VZ-1 · debit 1210.00 ≠ credit 1200.00
What it means
Every GeneralLedgerEntries transaction must have equal debit and credit totals.
Why it matters
ANAF uses D406 for risk analysis and compares it with the VAT return (D300) and D394. Mismatches like this do not block filing, but can lead to compliance letters or requests for clarification.
Common causes
- A line of the entry is missing from the export.
- Rounding differences on currency conversion or VAT.
- Several documents grouped under the same TransactionID by mistake.
How to fix it
- Open the entry in your accounting software and compare its lines with the export.
- Round per line and post the rounding difference on its own line.
Check your D406 file before filing it
We run ANAF's validator for your period plus the checks ANAF only does after filing: trial balance, balances, ledger totals, VAT, CUIs and IBANs. One free check per day.
