In connection with the new SAF-T requirements from the Norwegian Tax Administration, Microsoft no longer supports option 2 for mapping the chart of accounts (via Electronic Reporting and application-specific parameters). In the description on Docs, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/finance/localizations/norway/emea-nor-satndard-audit-file-for-tax, under point 1 of Option 1: "Associate main accounts used in Finance with Norwegian standard accounts or an Income statement by using additional consolidation accounts," it is stated that the Consolidation account groups page is used in the GroupingCategory field of the report.
The issue here is that there are many different Grouping Categories from the Norwegian Tax Administration that need to be mapped to the various accounts in the chart of accounts. Problem 1 is that when creating Consolidation account groups, there is a limitation of 10 characters in the field. For example, a Grouping Category from the Norwegian Tax Administration could be "balanseverdiforanleggsmidler" (balance value for fixed assets).
Problem 2 is that when generating the SAF-T file, it is only possible to select one Consolidation account group. As mentioned, the chart of accounts should be mapped to many different Grouping Categories = Consolidation account groups.
I cannot see a solution in place for the new version of SAF-T for Norway, and I have not been able to get a clear response to my questions/concerns from Microsoft support. Does anyone here have more knowledge about this?
