This update introduces a new module that allows businesses to generate a required .csv file (FAF) for the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Generating this file is necessary for audit and compliance purposes, bringing us closer to accreditation with the FTA. This ensures we meet regulatory requirements for VAT reporting.

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requires businesses to generate a FAF (FTA Audit File) for audit and compliance purposes in a .csv format. There are two kinds, VAT and Excise. In this task, we aim to generate a successful VAT Audit File, whereas we we will work to support the Excise Taxes and it's audit file in a separate task. This will bring us a step closer to re-registering us as an Accredited Software Vendor with the FTA (https://tax.gov.ae/en/tax.support/tax.accounting.software.vendors/accredited.tax.accounting.software.vendors.aspx). As per the FTA, "The FAF should be a pure collection of data in the comma-separated values (csv) file format and should be broken down by, but not limited to, invoices, credit notes etc., to give all the required information to FTA to conduct the Audit. The taxpayer should not be able to modify any value in the FAF. The FAF should not be an image file." This PR introduces a new module l10n_ae_saft which allows the users to export the a FAF .csv file from the general ledger. task-5256491
