Procedure documentationConfiguring Nota Fiscal Texts

Procedure

You can configure the system so that nota fiscal texts are determined automatically. The system then transfers the text types described below to the nota fiscal. The corresponding IMG activities can be found in Customizing for Sales and Distribution (SD), under Start of the navigation path Billing Next navigation step Billing Documents Next navigation step Country-Specific Features Next navigation step Country-Specific Features for Brazil End of the navigation path. Make the following entries as needed:

  1. Nota fiscal header texts based on the sales order type

    You can define automatic nota fiscal header texts for each sales order type, in the Maintain Automatic Nota Fiscal Header Texts Customizing activity. For each text you can also define an argument (variable) that is to be incorporated into the text, such as the order reason or the exchange rate.

  2. Tax laws

    You can define default IPI and ICMS tax law texts, in the Maintain Sales Document Item Category Customizing activity. For more information on tax law determination, see Tax Law.

  3. Manual texts

    The system can transfer any texts entered manually – at header or item level – in any preceding document prior to its creating the nota fiscal. This could be in the sales order, delivery, or billing document; when you create these documents, you can enter the text under Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Header End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Item Next navigation step Texts End of the navigation path. Both the text type and the length of the text can be defined in the Maintain Billing Types Customizing activity.

  4. Dangerous goods texts

    The system can add a dangerous goods text to notas fiscais created for the movement of such goods. The text can come from one of the following sources:

    • Hazardous material data (created with the VM01 transaction)

    • Dangerous goods master data (created with the DGP1 transaction)

    • Your internal comment about the dangerous goods that is stored in the additional data section of the material master on the Internal comment tab page

    To enable the system to transfer the dangerous goods texts from the correct source, in Customizing for Cross-Application Components, choose Start of the navigation path General Application Functions Next navigation step Nota fiscal Next navigation step CNPJ Business Places Next navigation step Define Business Places End of the navigation path. In the Details for the corresponding business places, make a selection for the Nota Fiscal: Source of Dangerous Goods Data field. For more information, see the field help in the system.
