Nota Fiscal Type 

Definition

A classification of a nota fiscal that describes the business process, for instance, nota fiscal incoming. 

Use

Each nota fiscal must be assigned a nota fiscal type. In Sales and Distribution (SD), the system determines the nota fiscal type automatically; however, you must enter it manually in Logistics Invoice Verification and in the Nota Fiscal Writer. The nota fiscal type is used to determine important attributes of a nota fiscal.

Structure

You define nota fiscal types in Customizing, under Cross-Application Components ® General Application Functions ® Nota Fiscal ® Define Nota Fiscal Types.

For each nota fiscal type, enter data as required: 

●      Nota fiscal entrada

You set this indicator if an incoming nota fiscal is issued by the customer instead of the customary vendor.  

●      Electronic NF

You set this indicator if the related nota fiscal is subject to electronic nota fiscal (NF-e) processing.

●      NF cancellation type

Here you define the cancellation type to be associated with the nota fiscal type. If you cancel a nota fiscal, the system creates a new nota fiscal with the type Cancel; it automatically assigns the appropriate nota fiscal cancellation type that is defined here for the corresponding nota fiscal type.

●      NF contingency type

Here you enter the nota fiscal type that is used in the case of contingency processing when the nota fiscal is printed as a nonelectronic nota fiscal.  

●      Direction of movement

Here you specify whether the nota fiscal is incoming or outgoing.

●      Document type

You must specify one of the following document types for the nota fiscal type: nota fiscal, complementar, correction, conhecimento (single or multiple), cancel, or return.

●      Invoice Verification data
