Setting Up Item Category Codes

Before you work with EFD PIS/COFINS, you must set up item category codes 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 07. The system uses the category codes in block 0. If you do not set up them, the system does not add data to the fields in the registers.

Review the following category codes:

  • UDC 70/C1: Item type (TIPO_ITEM)

  • UDC 70/C2: Mercosur Code (COD_NCM)

  • UDC 70 /C3: EX Code According TIPI (EX_IPI)

  • UDC 70/C4: Generic Item Code (COD_GEN)

  • UDC 70/C5: Service Code (COD_LST)

  • UDC 70/C6: Petrol Code (COD_COMB)

  • UDC 70/C7: Incidence Indicator code (COD_TAB). With category code 7, find position 1 and 2 (Code UDC 07/C7).

  • UDC 70/C7: Group code (COD_GRU). With category code 7, find position 3 and 4 (Code UDC 70/C7).

  • UDC 70/C7: Trade name (MARCA_COM): With category code 7, find description (UDC 70/C7).

For example, in UDC 70/C7 there is a code 0429 with the description Guaraná Antartica. In Block 0, 04 equals COD_TAB, 29 equals COD_GRU and Guaraná Antartica equals MARCA_COM.
