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.  

·        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.

·        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

¡        NF partner function (main partner for nota fiscal header)

¡        NF partner type (vendor, business place, or customer)

¡        NF item type (for special processes, for example, third-party deliveries, future deliveries, consignments)

¡        Text key (determination of automatic texts – IPI return handling)

·        Nota fiscal form

You need to assign a nota fiscal form to the nota fiscal type; it is necessary for printing notas fiscais. 

·        Nota fiscal model

Here you specify the nota fiscal model for the nota fiscal type; the model is defined by Brazilian tax authorities and must be specified in legal files.
