Understanding CAI Numbers for Suppliers with Fiscal Controller

General Resolution 1492 modified the General Resolution 1361, requiring that companies report the CAI number (autoprinter inscription number) and the expiration date of type A and type B invoices.The General Resolution RG3685 included in this requirement the type C vouchers issued by taxpayers registered as small contributors.

For vouchers issued by suppliers with the fiscal controller option, the CAI number is unique for each voucher.

See Exceptional Cases for Duplication Control.

In addition to maintaining and validating CAI numbers, the system handles suppliers with the fiscal controller option.

When you enter legal information for a voucher, the system displays the CAI number and the effective date for the supplier and the issuing place. If this information does not exist, the system issues a warning message. You can manually modify the CAI number and effective date.

Note: CAI information is mandatory on vouchers for suppliers with the fiscal controller option. This information can be omitted for other suppliers. Vouchers for suppliers without the fiscal controller option use the default value for the CAI number.

When you enter a voucher, the system creates a record of the CAI number for the voucher in the AP Header Tag File - ARG table (F76A411H). If the invoice group for the voucher is other than A, or B, or C, the CAI number is blank in this table.

You use the Work with CAI number program (P76A411H) to assign CAI numbers to vouchers with the fiscal controller option. You can modify the CAI number for vouchers that meet these conditions:

  • The voucher's invoice group is A, B, or C.

  • The CAI number has 14 digits.

  • The CAI number is not blank.

  • The voucher is not voided.

  • The voucher is not included in the VAT RG1361 magnetic file.

You cannot review vouchers without invoice group A, B, or C, or vouchers that are not in the mode of General Resolution 100.

If you change the AFIP document type of a voucher during the voucher entry, the system validates the CAI information when you click OK, based on the original document type.
