SAP B1 blog

GoBD stands for "Principles for the proper management and storage of books, records and documents in electronic form and for data access". It regulates the following:

What is considered a data processing system

Accordingly, a data processing system includes all systems that are operated as main and auxiliary systems. This also includes ERP systems with integrated financial accounting like SAP Business One. However, other systems are also included. This also includes cash register systems, systems for payment transactions, data archives, etc.

Obligation to account for receipts

Posting documents must contain information on the account assignment and the date of the posting. It must also be possible to derive organisation criteria for filing. Electronic documents must have a link to the data record with this information.

Documentation on the archiving process

With regard to electronic receipts, the way in which receipts are processed must be set out in procedural documentation. This includes receipt, processing, output and storage.
