5 Setting Up Legal Documents for Tax and Export Invoices

This chapter contains the following topics:

5.1 Understanding Setup for Legal Documents

To generate tax invoices and export invoices, you must set up information that the system uses to print the legal documents. The setup programs for legal documents are:

  • Legal Document Types (P7400002)

  • Legal Doc. Types Relationship (P7400003)

  • Print Template Def. Legal Doc. (P7430021)

  • Print Template Def. Relationship (P7430023)

These programs are designed to handle the invoice print requirements for tax invoices and export invoices in India.

5.2 Setting Up Legal Document Types and Relationships

This section provides an overview of legal document types and relationships and discusses how to set up a legal document relationship.

5.2.1 Understanding Legal Document Types and Relationships

You set up legal document types to specify how the system handles taxes for a legal document, whether the system must print a document on one page, how many copies to print, and so on. You use the Legal Document Types program (P7400002) to set up legal document types for tax and export invoices.

When you set up a legal document type, you assign a legal document type group from UDC table 74/DG. The legal document type group specifies the type of legal document, such as an invoice. The system stores the legal document types in the Legal Document Types table (F7400002).

After you set up legal document types, you set up relationships between the legal document types and internal document types (UDC table 00/DT) for a legal company by using the Legal Doc. Types Relationship program (P7400003). You also specify whether the legal company is registered for value-added tax (VAT) by selecting a value from UDC table 74/VC.

The system stores the relationships in the Legal Document Types / Document Types Relationship table (F7400003).

This section provides an overview of issue places for legal documents and discusses how to set up a issue place for a legal document.

5.3.1 Understanding Issue Places for Legal Documents

You set up codes to identify the locations from where legal documents are issued by using the Issue Place program (P7400004). For example, if your company issues documents from a general office as well as a warehouse, you set up codes to identify each of these locations.

The system stores the codes for places of issuing documents in the Legal Document Issue Places table (F7400004).

This section provides an overview of next numbers and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Legal Document Next Numbers (P75I001).

  • Set up next numbers for a legal document.

5.4.1 Understanding Next Numbers

You can print legal documents from more than one JD Edwards EnterpriseOne program; therefore, the numbering for each type of legal document should be consecutive. Using the information that you set up in the Legal Document Next Numbers program (P75I001), the system assigns a valid next number regardless of which program you use to print a legal document.

You set up different next numbering schemes for each company and legal document type. You can use the same numbering scheme for tax invoices and export invoices if you specify the legal document type in the Legal Document Type Same As field on the Legal Document Next Numbers form.

The next numbers for legal documents are based on:

  • Legal company

  • Excise unit

  • Legal document type

  • Issue place

  • Expiration date

The system stores the next numbering schemes in the Legal Document Numbers - IND table (F75I001).

5.5 Setting Up Print Templates and Relationships for Legal Documents

This section provides an overview of print templates and relationships and discusses how to set up a print template and relationship for a legal document.

5.5.1 Understanding Print Templates and Relationships

You set up print templates to define the number of rows and the types of information that print in the detail section of legal documents. You use the Print Template Def. Legal Doc. program (P7430021) to set up print templates.

When you set up print templates, you must enter values in different fields on the Print Templates Definition for Legal Documents Revision form. For example:

Field Value
Detail Section Total Number of Rows 3
Detail Section Total Number of Rows on First Page 3
Detail Section Total Number of Rows on Middle Pages 20
Detail Section Total Number of Rows on Last Page 20

When you set up line type definitions for IMD and ID1 on the Print Line Types Definition for Legal Document form, the value for the number of rows must be 5.

After you set up the templates, you assign legal companies and legal document types to the templates using the Print Template Def. Relationship program (P7430023). This ensures that the system uses the correct template for each legal document type.

The system stores information about print templates in these tables:

  • Print Template Definition of Legal Documents (F7400021)

  • Print Line Types Definition for Legal Documents (F7400022)

  • Legal Document Types / Print Templates Relationship (F74200023)

5.6 Assigning Programs and Versions to Print Legal Documents

This section provides an overview of programs and versions to print legal documents, and discusses how to assign programs to generate and print legal documents.

5.6.1 Understanding Programs and Versions to Print Legal Documents

You use the Legal Document/UBE Relationship program (P7430024) to assign the program and version number. You use the program and version number to generate and print legal documents.

For example, to generate and print invoices, you must first assign the program number of the UBE and the version of the print program that you set up for invoices.

To print tax and export invoices, assign these program numbers:

  • R74I040 (for tax invoices)

  • R74I041 (export invoices)

Optionally, you can also enter an issue place and a user ID.
