Companies Are Scrambling to Comply With the New Electronic Accounting Regulations in Mexico

As part of the fiscal and government regulations in Mexico, a remarkable change in reporting requirements was issued by the federal authority in August, 2014, posing a huge challenge for all companies with operations in Mexico. In the past, all legal entities were required to create and submit financial reports to the Mexican government.  Although tedious and time consuming, this system allowed for fiscal departments to review and correct reports prior to submission. Under the new guidelines, generally referred to as e-Accounting (Electronic Accounting), legal entities are now required to report their accounting books in an XML format file, directly from their accounting systems to the government authorities, on a monthly basis.  Along with this, all invoices must now be electronic invoices and must be accompanied by a validating XML file containing detailed information on taxes, vendor tax ID, purchase order and much more.  SAP Notes have devised the technical solution for extracting and formatting the financial data to submit to the Mexican Government.

These financial reports, however, are more than just an extraction from your SAP books.  Because they serve as an official statement to the government authorities regarding invoices, payments made and received, and postings processed, companies must exercise caution before posting and submitting information. While SAP Notes provides the technical solution for extracting and formatting the financial data, companies still need solid reporting and a process to ensure that all of their multiple payments and clearing scenarios have been properly differentiated and reported. This is where Bokanyi Consulting Mexico, a Kellton Tech Company has come into the game.
