Use

Country Version Brazil enables you to enter conhecimentos (Brazilian freight invoices) in the system as a subsequent debit. They are either based on a single nota fiscal or on multiple notas fiscais, as illustrated below:

Conhecimento for Multiple Notas Fiscais

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

This second case represents the only exception to the 1:1 relationship between invoice and nota fiscal in the system.

Activities

To enter a conhecimento based on a single nota fiscal, follow the procedure for creating a subsequent debit, but specify nota fiscal type C1.

To enter a conhecimento based on multiple notas fiscais:

  1. Post a subsequent debit using the same procedure as above.
  2. On the PO Reference tab, you can enter multiple nota fiscal numbers or multiple purchase orders by using the extended selection function.

Note

If you have not posted an invoice for a goods receipt, the system does not allow the material lines to be included in the conhecimento. You must deselect these lines in the selection screen manually.

  1. On the Details tab, enter an appropriate nota fiscal type (such as CR, which is delivered with Country Version Brazil).
  2. Enter the freight amounts for each of the items. If you only have one amount, enter it on the Details tab, in the Unpl. Del. Costs (Unplanned delivery costs) field, and the system will distribute it across the items.
  3. Caution

    You cannot post unplanned delivery costs to a separate G/L account by entering them as unplanned delivery costs in the invoice – since this would only enable you to specify a tax code at the header level, and in Brazil taxes are calculated at the item level. If you want to do this, you have to enter a separate posting directly to the G/L account.

  4. Post the debit.

The system automatically generates the corresponding nota fiscal. It does not display an associated original document, since there is more than one.
