Enabling Split Invoices (Nota Fiscal Split) 

Use

In Brazil, companies must print and report notas fiscais on the business place level. In most cases, a nota fiscal split is required by law when you print notas fiscais (only those companies possessing a special permit are exempt from this requirement). This means that if the length of the nota fiscal exceeds one page, the business place must issue as many notas fiscais as pages are required. The system enables this by means of a nota fiscal split.

Procedure

Make the following Customizing settings, under Cross-Application Components ® General Application Functions ® Nota Fiscal ®

·        CNPJ Business Places ® Define Business Places

Double-click the relevant business place, and set the Single Page indicator. This enables the system to allow for split invoices (or other billing documents), which in turn leads to the corresponding nota fiscal fitting on a single page.

Only if you are permitted to print multiple-page notas fiscais do you not set this indicator.

·        Output ® Define Nota Fiscal Numbers and Form Sizes

Here you need to maintain the number of lines permitted in the header message, as well as the number of permissible item lines for each combination of company code, business place, and nota fiscal form.

A nota fiscal will contain fewer items if one item generates several nota fiscal lines – discount cases, for example.
