Branch 

Introduction

To model Brazilian business, it is necessary to create a new organizational unit called branch. For example, the branch is the level where tax reporting and Nota Fiscal reporting is done. It is also the organizational unit where the CGC number is assigned.

In R/3, plants are assigned to branches. After the branches are defined, the existing plants must be assigned to the appropriate branch. The following chart shows the relationship between company, plant and branch.

Maintaining Branches

You can maintain branches by choosing the Customizing path for creating CGC branches. You can define numerous branches per company.

Please maintain the following fields:

This is the part of the CGC number which indicates the branch number. It is recommended to use a branch name which corresponds to the CGC branch. However, even in this case, it is necessary to maintain the CGC branch.

The branch category is used to determine the CFOP for an outgoing Nota Fiscal.

This indicator controls whether SD creates Notas Fiscais that fit on one page.

If the indicator is not set, SD does not split a delivery into multiple Notas Fiscais. The Nota Fiscal print program can print a Nota Fiscal on multiple pages.

SD calculates the price including ICMS. To avoid rounding errors in the NF print, it is necessary to round the calculated price including ICMS with a fixed number of decimals.

The Nota Fiscal print program uses the branch address as the address of the issuer. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the complete address on the branch level. Please note that the address of the delivering plant is not used.
