From Setup to Submission: How BIR Mapping Works in Systema365
One of the most overlooked—but most powerful—features in any ERP or accounting system is BIR mapping. It’s not just a setup step—it’s the engine that powers automation, accuracy, and compliance with the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through what BIR mapping is, why it matters, and how Systema365 makes it easier than ever to go from raw data to BIR-ready reports in seconds.
What Is BIR Mapping?
BIR mapping is the process of linking your internal business transactions—like purchases, sales, journal entries, and payments—to the correct BIR-required forms and formats.
Every entry in your system must be tagged correctly:
- Sales linked to 2550M/Q (VAT)
- Payments to suppliers tagged for 2307
- Withholding taxes filed under 1601-EQ
- Purchases included in SLSP (RELIEF VAT)
- Employee payments reflected in Alphalists
Miss a tag, and you miss a required filing.
How Systema365 Simplifies It
With traditional accounting systems or spreadsheets, you’d need to review transactions manually to ensure compliance. But with Systema365, BIR mapping is:
- Done once, reused forever
- Built into your daily entries
- Automated across all required forms
Once mapping is configured:
✅ Books of Accounts
✅ VAT Forms
✅ Alphalists
✅ Withholding Tax Reports
…are just clicks away.
Benefits of Proper Mapping
- ✅ Accuracy: Ensures the right transactions appear in the right reports
- ✅ Speed: Eliminates double work and manual encoding
- ✅ Audit-readiness: Keeps your reports consistent and traceable
- ✅ Peace of mind: Reduces compliance errors and BIR penalties
Real Example: From Payment Entry to 2307 & SAWT
- You enter a supplier payment in Systema365.
- The system automatically assigns the correct withholding tax code.
- It generates the 2307 form from that entry.
- At the end of the month, all 2307s feed into your SAWT file—fully formatted for BIR submission.
No re-encoding. No extra steps.
