ICMS exemption is possible for some products, meaning that ICMS is calculated but discounted from the item total amount. In the scenario that ICMS is not due, when you create a new NF-e, you manually enter the ICMS amount to be exempted in the Item tab in the Nota Fiscal Writer. For NF-e created in Materials Management, the system automatically discounts the exempted ICMS amount you manually entered from the item total amount. For NF-e created in Sales and Distribution, the amount is only deducted if you have created a condition type in customizing, as described below in the Activities section.

Incoming Automation

For NF-e created in the system via incoming automation, the exempted ICMS is deducted from the item total amount and displayed in the Exem. ICMS field of the Item tab in the NF-e writer. If you have implemented the Additional Data for Nota Fiscal BAdI (J_1BNF_ADD_DATA BAdI definition), the information regarding to the exempted ICMS is saved to the database.

If you use the incoming automation in your system, manual entries are not required. See the SAP Note 2034541 for information about the prerequisites and required support packages.
