Brazil 
This
country version is
designed for use by businesses with operations in Brazil. As well as the
generic SAP R/3 functions, it comprises functions designed for laws and
business practices particular to Brazil, and a
country
template to
help you customize the system according to local requirements.
This documentation explains how the country-specific functions work and what Customizing settings are made by the country template. It does not cover the generic functions, which are described in the rest of the SAP Library.
Most of the country-specific functions for Brazil relate to Financials, Logistics, and Human Resources. The main areas are as follows:
· Tax calculation
· Automatic generation of notas fiscais
· Statutory reporting, including the modelos
· Localized version of the Payroll (PY) component, Payroll Brazil (PY-BR)
To allow you to
customize your Brazilian company codes more quickly, you can use the Brazilian
country template in the
Country Installation
Program.
