Nota Fiscal Item Type (SAP Library

Nota Fiscal Item Type

Definition

A code that describes the business transaction at item level within a given process. An example of a nota fiscal (NF) item type within the business process of subcontracting is subcontracting component shipment item.

Use

The system uses the NF item type primarily for:

CFOP determination
Posting of taxes
Definition of relationship between notas fiscais
Legal reporting

The standard system comes complete with all the NF item types required for the Brazilian business processes modeled in the system. If you need to create additional NF item types, you do so in Customizing for Cross-Application Components, under General Application Functions > Nota Fiscal > Define Nota Fiscal Item Types. For each new NF item type, you need to define a number of rules that correspond to each of the applications in which the system generates or processes notas fiscais. Accordingly, the Customizing activity is divided into the following areas described below.

Structure

General

Here you maintain how ICMS and IPI statistical tax values are handled, which, in turn, influences reporting results. If the St.Tax(Statistical tax item) indicator is set for a tax item, the base and tax values for the respective tax type will not appear in the legal books; and if it is set for an IPI tax type, then blanks will appear in the “IPI value” column of the respective line printed on the nota fiscal. Statistical taxes are, however, included in the “total value” (the total gross value, including all taxes) of the document.

The values you specify here are transferred to the St.Tax indicator of the ICMS and IPI tax item for notas fiscais created via Logistics Invoice Verification (MM-IV-LIV). The following settings are possible for both tax types, ICMS and IPI:

Setting	Effect on Tax Items
Not statistic	The indicator is not set in tax items
Statistic for all usages	The is set in tax items
Statistic for consumption	The indicator is set in tax items if the material usage is consumption

The following item types delivered with the standard system are marked as statistic for ICMS:

41, Future delivery invoice item without ICMS
43, Future delivery invoice item without ICMS/IPI
51, Consignment invoice item
64, Third party future delivery invoice item from supplier

And the following item types delivered with the standard system are marked as statistic for IPI:

43, Future delivery invoice item without ICMS/IPI
51, Consignment invoice item

Invoice

Here you can set a number of indicators related to the invoice and corresponding nota fiscal that is generated within Logistics Invoice Verification:

Indicator/Field	Meaning	Special Note	Delivered Item Types with this Field Active
Default Item Type	The system typically derives the NF item type from the purchase order item category (see Customizing) or, if it is not maintained, then from the nota fiscal type. If neither of these settings is maintained, then the system takes the default item type maintained here.	Set only one NF item type as the default.	01 (Standard item)
GI/GR Check	In Brazil, it is recommended that you use goods-receipt (GR)-based invoice verification. If the GI/GR check indicator is set, the system checks that the GR- based invoice verification indicator is not set in the corresponding purchase order items. If the check determines that it is set, then the system displays the following error: “GR-based IV not allowed for future delivery.”	You should activate the GI/GR check for NF item types used in processes in which you post the invoice before the goods receipt (such as future delivery or third-party future delivery item from supplier).	- 41 (Future delivery invoice item without ICMS) - 64 (Third party future delivery item from supplier)
Ignore Reference IM	You need to set this indicator for NF item types that are used for processes in which a combination of several NF item types is possible. If it is set, the system checks whether, for the marked item type, the combination with the main item type is allowed (main item types are maintained in the bottom group box on the screen).	Take, for example, delivered item type 21 for a returnable transport packaging (RTP) item. In this case, the material used for RTP has a different item type than the purchased material. For the item type used for RTP, the Ignore Reference IM indicator must be set, and the item type used for the purchased material must be entered under “Main Item Types.”	- 21 (Returnable packaging shipment item) - 42 (Future delivery invoice item with IPI) - 51 (Consignment invoice item) - 52 (Consignment shipment item) - 61 (Third-party invoice item from vendor) - 62 (Third-party invoice item from supplier) - 64 (Third-party future delivery invoice item from supplier)
Unique Item Type	If you set this indicator, it means that all items of a nota fiscal created via Logistics Invoice Verification must have the same item type. If a nota fiscal includes several items with different item types, and this indicator is set for at least one of them, the system issues an error message.	Do not activate both the Unique Item Type and the Ignore Reference IM indicators.	- 31 (Subcontracting invoice item) - 51 (Consignment invoice item) - 61 (Third party invoice item from vendor) - 62 (Third party invoice item from supplier)
Reference Check	If you set this indicator, then the system checks during Logistics Invoice Verification that a reference nota fiscal exists. If no reference exists, the system issues an error message.	Set the Reference Check indicator only in combination with the Unique Item Type indicator.	- 21 (Returnable packaging shipment item) - 33 (Subcontracting component symbolic shipment item) - 41 (Future delivery invoice item with ICMS)

Inventory Management

Here you can make settings related to the material document and corresponding nota fiscal that is generated within Inventory Management (MM-IM):

Indicator/Field	Meaning	Special Note	Delivered Item Types with this field active
Transfer Item Type	You must set this indicator for item types used in stock transfer processes with a stock transport order.	Set this indicator for one item type only.	02 (Stock Transfer Item)
Reference Mat. Doc.	When you post a goods receipt and enter the nota fiscal number in the Delivery Note field, the system checks if the number already exists for the vendor on the same date. By setting this indicator, this check is deactivated. For example, the subcontracting process is an exception in that there may be more than one document number for the same vendor and date. So in this case, you want the check to be deactivated.	–	32 (Subcontracting component shipment item)
Unique MM-IM	If you set this indicator, it means that all items of a nota fiscal created when posting a goods receipt must have the same item type. If a nota fiscal includes several items with different item types, and this indicator is set for at least one of them, the system issues an error message.	Do not enter any main item types if the Unique MM-IM indicator is set.	- 31 (Subcontracting invoice item) - 32 (Subcontracting component shipment item) - 41 (Future delivery invoice item with ICMS) - 43 (Future delivery invoice item without ICMS/IPI) - 44 (Future delivery invoice item with ICMS/IPI) - 51 (Consignment invoice item) - 61 (Third-party invoice item from vendor) - 62 (Third-party invoice item from supplier) - 63 (Third-party shipment item from supplier) - 64 (Third-party future delivery invoice item from supplier) - 65 (Third-party future delivery symbolic shipment item from supplier)
ICMS Excl/Other Base	For certain item types, no taxes are calculated in Inventory Management – but the tax items must be filled with the tax base as the default value. If this indicator is set, the system stores the tax base for ICMS in the “excluded base” or “other base” amount.	–	- 32 (Subcontracting component shipment item) - 33 (Subcontracting component symbolic shipment item)
IPI Excl/Other Base	For certain item types, no taxes are calculated in Inventory Management – but the tax items must be filled with the tax base as the default value. If this indicator is set, the system stores the tax base for IPI in the “excluded base” or “other base” amount.	–	21 (Returnable packaging shipment item)
Check Observations	If this indicator is set, it means that the Observations field is required for the corresponding item type when a nota fiscal is created via Inventory Management transactions. If this indicator is set in the standard applications which generate a nota fiscal automatically (Logistics Invoice Verification, Inventory Management), then the header text field must be inserted.	–	- 33 (Subcontracting component symbolic shipment item) - 63 (Third-party shipment item from supplier) - 65 (Third-party future delivery symbolic shipment item from supplier)
3^rd Party Suppl.Ship	You must set this indicator for third-party shipment items from supplier. If it is set, then during entry of a goods receipt, the system checks if the supplying vendor is maintained in the purchase order.	–	- 63 (Third-party shipment item from supplier)
Check Direction	Refers to the goods movement direction that is checked when a corresponding item type is specified for a new nota fiscal item; the system performs a reference check to the original nota fiscal.	This field can contain the following values: - No check - 1, Check all directions - 2, Check incoming direction - 3, Check outgoing direction	Item type (Description), Direction checked: - 42 (Future delivery shipment item with ICMS/IPI), All - 44 (Future delivery shipment item with IPI), All - 51 (Consignment invoice item), All - 62 (Third party invoice item from supplier), Outgoing - 65 (Third party future delivery symbolic shipment item from supplier), Incoming

Billing

Here you can set two indicators related to the invoice and corresponding nota fiscal that is generated within Billing (SD-BIL):

Indicator/Field	Meaning	Special Note	Delivered Item Types with this Field Active
Excluded/Other Base	If this indicator is set and if, for the used tax code, base reductions are maintained, then the sum of all tax bases (normal, excluded, and other) is stored in the “other base amount” in Billing, and the “base” and “excluded base” fields contain zero.	–	21 (Returnable packaging shipment item)
Redetermine Tax Code	Means that the system uses the tax code from the preceding document. For instance, when you create a sales document, the system copies the tax code from the sales order.	–	All delivered item types except for: - 42 (Future delivery shipment item with IPI), and - 44 (Future delivery shipment item with ICMS/IPI)

Reporting

Here you can make a number of settings related to the nota fiscal and reporting:

Indicator/Field	Meaning	Special Note	Delivered Item Types with this Field Active
Ignore Total (under General)	For certain item types, tax base amounts are ignored in the reporting for the sum of total per CFOP. If this indicator is set, the tax base is not included in the sum for CFOP total.	The function is used in Modelos 1, 2, 8, and 9, and Arquivo Magnético.	- 41 (Future delivery invoice item with ICMS) - 43 (Future delivery invoice item without ICMS/IPI) - 51 (Consignment invoice item) - 63 (Third party shipment item from supplier) - 64 (Third party future delivery invoice item from supplier)
Skip Item (under General)	Certain item types are not taken into account in reporting. If this indicator is set, the system does not process nota fiscal items with the corresponding item type.	This function is used in Modelos 8 and 9.	- 41 (Future delivery invoice item with ICMS) - 43 (Future delivery invoice item without ICMS/IPI) - 63 (Third party shipment item from supplier) - 64 (Third party future delivery invoice item from supplier)
Text Number (under Modelo 1/2)	Text number assigned to a text that is printed in Modelo 1 or Modelo 2. The text must be defined as a text element in the report itself (Modelo 1 or 2) or in the table J_1BMODTEXT. The system checks for a table entry first.	You only need to make an entry here if you have defined your own item types.	–
Clear Reference (under Modelo 1/2)	Triggers the clearing of the refence document number in Modelos 1 and 2.	–	Modelo 1 - 61 (Third-party invoice item from vendor) - 62 (Third party invoice item from supplier) Modelo 2 - 62 (Third party invoice item from supplier)

Main Item Types

Certain item types are not allowed to be combined with other item types, meaning that all item types in a nota fiscal must have the same item type. In this case, do not specify any main item types in this section.

For those item types which may be combined with others, here you enter the item types that are allowed in combination with the one you are maintaining.

For example, the delivered item type 21 (Returnable packaging shipment item) can be combined with the following item types:

1, Standard item
31, Subcontracting invoice item
32, Subcontracting component shipment item
42, Future delivery invoice item with IPI
44, Future delivery invoice item with ICMS/IPI
52, Consignment shipment item
63, Third-party shipment from supplier
