SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC)

Launched over 10 years ago, SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (SAP DRC) is SAP’s standard offering for meeting legal reporting and e-invoicing requirements worldwide.

Consisting of several solutions, SAP DRC enables the creation, processing and control of electronic documents and statutory reports, and handles exchanges with the platforms set up in the various countries concerned.

SAP DRC : Document & Reporting Compliance

SAP DRC covers the entire lifecycle of the documents concerned: 

Electronic documents

Data contained in electronic documents, such as invoices, summaries or transport records, which originate from business transactions. Data must be exchanged with external systems, for example with trading partners’ systems, with or without the involvement of tax authorities in the process.

Data preparation and submission

Adjustments or structuring of data to conform to legally required formats, to enable electronic data processing by external systems. For example, you may need to check data consistency to ensure that the electronic document data in your company’s database and the document data in the tax authorities’ database are consistent. In some cases, you may also need to match your data with that of your business partners so that it is consistent with the data collected by the tax authorities.
Depending on the business scenario and local requirements, data exchange may be entirely electronic or require data downloading.

Reconciliation

Adjustments made to data in your system after business transactions have been finalized. This step is designed to ensure internal consistency of data prior to filing legal or statutory reports.

Statutory reporting

Organizations carry out statutory reporting to comply with regulations and validate the integrity of transactions and tax data. Depending on the business scenario and local legal requirements, this data exchange may be periodic and/or real-time, and the mode may be fully electronic or require data to be uploaded or downloaded manually.

Following the French government’s decision to abandon the Portail Public de Facturation (PPF) in its original form and impose the use of a Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire (PDP), SAP decided to make SAP DRC a PDP.

At the end of 2024, SAP officially applied for registration with the Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP). This application has been validated, and SAP is now part of the official list of registered PDPs: List of partner dematerialization platforms (PDPs) registered under reserve

Due to updated test environment schedules and technical specifications, the general availability of e-invoicing and e-reporting in France has been updated accordingly. The delivery dates announced by SAP for the PDP version of SAP DRC are as follows:
