Portugal

QR support

The Portuguese tax authority has announced a new requirement to include a unique document code ATCUD (Sequential Number Validation Code) and bar code (QR code) in invoices and relevant tax documents. This requirement will be mandatory from January 2022.

To comply with this requirement, these conditions must be met:

  • The tax country of the transaction must be set to PRT or PT.
  • For ATCUD, the new ATCUD Active check box must be selected in the Portuguese Parameters (lpprt0100m000) session.
  • For ATCUD, the code received from the tax authority must be recorded in the Validation Code by Document Type (lpprt0102m000) session.

If the conditions have been met, the ATCUD is included in the SAF-T (PT) file and the ATCUD and QR codes are included in these legal documents:

  • Sales Invoices
  • Consignment invoices
  • Packing slips
  • Bills of Landing
  • Delivery Notes
  • Receipt Acknowledgements

If the ATCUD Active check box is cleared, the ATCUD functionality is not applicable and only the QR is printed in the documents.

Sales listing XML output

The tax authority now requires the Sales Listing for Portugal (Declaração Recapitulativa) in XML format.

To comply with this legal requirement, XML - Portugal has been added to the File Data Format field of the Process Intracommunity Listing (tccom7270m000) session.
