Fichier d écriture comptable (FEC) Per article L47A1 of the French book of tax procedures, businesses must provide an extract from their accounting system, in the form of a standardized file of accounting entries that can be used directly by the tax authorities. This file is known as the fichier d écriture comptable (FEC) file. The FEC file must contain the detailed set of transactions from subledger accounts that are made up of journals that are dedicated to categories of operations (accounts receivable, accounts payable, and so on). If specific entries were booked in subledgers, you must retrieve the details (that is, transaction-specific information) in the FEC file. To set up Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and later so that you can prepare a relevant FEC file, we recommend that you provide enough granularity in the accounting entry data itself. To achieve this granularity, we recommend that you use additional analytical dimensions, so that subledger account details can be specified directly in the general ledger accounting entries. In this way, the FEC file that you create can be based on general ledger transactions only. This approach has some limitations that you should be aware of: It affects only newly created accounting transactions and has no effect on existing transactions. It applies to AX 2012 and all later versions, but doesn t apply to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 and earlier. Example: Set up a financial dimension for vendor data (AX 2012) This example walks you through the process of setting up a financial dimension for vendor data. 1 Define a financial dimension that uses values from vendor data. In this example, the financial dimension is named Vendor. Fichier d écriture comptable (FEC) 3
2 Configure an account structure for the relative ranges of accounts, include the Vendor dimension in the account structure, and activate the account structure. 3 Assign appropriate dimension values to vendors. Fichier d écriture comptable (FEC) 4
After you ve completed steps 1 through 3, all transactions that are posted to accounts that are configured for the defined vendors will automatically include the pre-filled dimension. Those accounting transactions will be saved as separate lines. 4 When you close a period and transfer opening balances to a new period, select the Transfer financial dimensions check box to include the dimension details.
