A.J.CONSULTING provides comprehensive 1C ERP implementation, IT infrastructure, and accounting software solutions for foreign companies operating in Russia.

1C ERP Solutions for Foreign Businesses in Russia

When entering the Russian market, most foreign companies face a critical challenge: choosing accounting and ERP software that fully complies with Russian legislation, tax requirements, and reporting standards. International systems like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics — while powerful — often lack native support for Russian Accounting Standards (RAS), local tax forms, fiscal data operators, and electronic document flow with Russian state authorities.

1C software products are the dominant accounting and ERP platform in Russia, used by over 80% of Russian businesses. 1C solutions are specifically designed to meet Russian regulatory requirements, including RAS-compliant accounting, VAT reporting, e-invoicing, and electronic document interchange (EDI) with the Federal Tax Service (FTS), Social Funds, and other government bodies.

A.J.CONSULTING offers full-cycle 1C implementation services in Russia — from needs assessment and software selection to customization, integration, training, and ongoing support. Our English-speaking consultants work with foreign subsidiaries, branches, and representative offices to ensure seamless adoption of 1C systems.

1C Integration with SAP and Other Systems

Many foreign companies in Russia operate SAP ERP at headquarters while requiring 1C for local accounting and tax compliance. We provide seamless integration between 1C and SAP systems, including:

• Data synchronisation between SAP and 1C — master data, transactions, financial postings
• Parallel accounting — operational accounting in SAP, regulated accounting and tax reporting in 1C
• IFRS reporting automation — consolidating data from 1C into IFRS-compliant reports for the parent company
• Integration via RFC, IDoc, BAPI, OData, and web services

We also integrate 1C with other corporate systems: Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, CRM platforms, banking clients, and logistics software.

Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) in Russia

We configure electronic document flow between your 1C system and external counterparties:

• EDI with retail chains — electronic invoices, waybills, and acceptance certificates with DIY and FMCG retailers
• EDI with suppliers and customers — automated exchange of contracts, invoices, and shipping documents
• Electronic document flow with state authorities — Federal Tax Service (FTS), Social Insurance Fund, Pension Fund
• Fiscal data operator (FDO) integration — compliance with Federal Law No. 54-FZ on cash register transactions

1C Migration Services

We handle 1C migration projects, including:

• Migration from SAP to 1C — full transition of accounting, tax, and operational processes from SAP ERP to 1C:ERP or 1C:Accounting
• 1C version upgrades — migration from older 1C platforms to current versions
• Data migration — transfer of master data, historical transactions, and balances from legacy systems
• Decommissioning of legacy systems — phased sunset of outdated accounting software

IFRS Reporting Automation in 1C

For foreign companies required to report under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we configure 1C to produce both RAS-compliant and IFRS-compliant financial statements from a single data source. This eliminates the need for parallel accounting and manual reconciliation between Russian and international standards.

FAQ: 1C ERP and IT Services in Russia

What is 1C and why is it used in Russia? 1C is the leading accounting and ERP software platform in Russia, used by over 80% of Russian businesses. It is specifically designed to comply with Russian Accounting Standards (RAS), tax reporting requirements, and electronic document flow regulations. Foreign companies in Russia typically use 1C for local accounting and tax compliance, even if they use SAP or Oracle globally.

Can 1C be integrated with SAP? Yes. 1C can be integrated with SAP ERP through various methods — RFC, IDoc, BAPI, OData, and web services. This allows parallel operation: SAP for global management accounting and 1C for Russian regulated accounting and tax reporting.

Do I need to replace SAP with 1C in Russia? Not necessarily. Many foreign companies run SAP and 1C in parallel — SAP at headquarters, 1C for local compliance. Full migration from SAP to 1C is an option, but integration is often faster and more cost-effective.

What is EDI and why is it required in Russia? Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) in Russia refers to the electronic exchange of invoices, waybills, and other documents with counterparties and state authorities. Russian law requires companies to submit tax reports electronically, and many retail chains require EDI for supplier integration.

How long does 1C implementation take? Standard 1C:Accounting configuration: 2–4 weeks. 1C:ERP implementation: 3–6 months depending on scope. SAP-to-1C migration: 4–12 months depending on complexity.

Can 1C produce IFRS reports? Yes. 1C can be configured to generate both RAS-compliant and IFRS-compliant financial statements from a single data source, eliminating parallel accounting and manual reconciliation.

Is cloud 1C available in Russia? Yes. A.J.CONSULTING offers cloud-hosted 1C with daily backups, administration support, and automatic updates, starting from $60/month per user.

Does Russian law require data localisation? Yes. Under Federal Law No. 152-FZ, personal data of Russian citizens must be stored on servers physically located in Russia. We ensure all 1C and IT infrastructure solutions comply with this requirement.
