Overview of Software Solutions for SAF-T UA Automation: What Should Ukrainian Businesses Choose?

With the emergence of the SAF-T format in Ukraine, more and more businesses are seeking reliable tools to automate its generation. And that’s logical: SAF-T UA is not just a file, but a complex data structure that is difficult to assemble manually. In this article, we will explore which solutions are available to Ukrainian businesses, what to look for, and which services already have experience in EU countries.

Why Automate SAF-T UA Generation?

The SAF-T format requires:

• Correct XML structuring
• Full compliance with tax authority (DPS) requirements
• Support for accounting specifics (e.g., mapping transactions to directories)
• Electronic signature and encryption capabilities

It is difficult to handle this manually, especially in large companies. That’s why automation — preferably using standardized solutions from countries where SAF-T has been implemented for years (e.g., Romania, Poland, Portugal) — is crucial.

What Types of Solutions Exist?

1. Built-in Modules in ERP Systems (Oracle, BAS, SAP)
Some Ukrainian ERP systems are beginning to support basic SAF-T functions. This can be convenient if your company already uses one of these platforms. However:

• Deep customization may be required
• Template updates may be lacking
• Compliance checks for DPS standards are usually missing

2. Third-party Developer Solutions
The European market offers niche services specializing exclusively in SAF-T. Their advantages include flexibility and compatibility with different systems. One such service is MySAF-T by EMEA IT Consulting.

What EMEA IT Consulting Offers:

• Export from any ERP system
• Full SAF-T UA compliance with Ukrainian law
• Built-in validation, digital signing, and encryption
