Automated integration
Connect your systems for seamless SAF-T data flow.
Automated integration provides the most efficient approach for regular SAF-T reporting. This approach establishes direct connections between your financial systems and Sovos SAF-T. These methods reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and minimize errors compared to manual processes.
In all cases, make sure to coordinate system updates between your financial systems and Sovos SAF-T integrations. Most integrations handle routine updates automatically, but major system changes may require configuration adjustments. Also make sure to establish clear procedures for troubleshooting and technical support escalation when needed.
SAP framework integration
The SAP framework addresses the unique complexities of SAP environments through specialized middleware designed specifically for SAP's data structures and performance requirements.
The SAP framework extracts data directly from SAP tables, applies preliminary transformations to align with SAF-T structures, and securely transfers the data to Sovos SAF-T. This approach navigates SAP's complex architecture while minimizing performance impact on your production systems.
The framework maintains comprehensive audit trails of all extracted data and handles the intricacies of SAP's table relationships without requiring extensive technical knowledge from finance teams.
SAP framework integration requires coordination with your IT team for initial setup, including system permissions and connection configuration. Once established, the framework operates automatically according to your defined schedule.
API integration
REST API connectivity enables data transfers with immediate validation feedback for organizations with modern system architecture.
API integration provides programmatic access for data transfers with comprehensive error handling and retry logic. The APIs accept multiple data formats and provide immediate feedback on data acceptance and validation status.
Authentication uses secure methods appropriate for enterprise environments, and the integration can be embedded within existing workflow systems.
API integration requires development resources for initial setup and testing. The integration should include proper error handling, retry mechanisms, and monitoring to ensure reliable operation.
SFTP automation
Automated SFTP transfers combine the flexibility of file-based integration with scheduling and monitoring capabilities for hands-off operation.
SFTP automation schedules regular data extraction from your source systems, transfers files securely to designated folders, and processes them automatically. The system monitors for new files, validates formats, and provides notifications on processing status.
