Understanding the Nota Fiscal for Sales Orders for Brazil

In Brazil, the government requires companies to maintain additional sales order information for tax calculation purposes. This information includes:

• Transaction nature.

• Tax code.

• Fiscal classification.

• Whether the item is subject to ICMS Substitution.

• Origin of the item.

• Type of purchase (from a client's perspective).

• Fiscal message.

• And, if the item has imported content:

  • Imported Content percentage (CI)

  • Imported Content Form (FCI)

  • EX-TIPI

When you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system, you include this additional information in the header and detail portions of your sales order.

After you enter sales orders, generate the nota fiscal to have the system run validations and tax calculations, then you print notas fiscais by fiscal company and series. When you print notas fiscais, the system creates the notas fiscais that you ultimately send to your customers with each shipment. Notas fiscais include the following detailed information:

• Merchandise price.

• Applicable tax amounts.

• How the merchandise will be used.

• Origin and destination of the shipment.

• Any other expense that is associated with the transaction.

At times, you might need to create a nota fiscal that it is not directly attached to a purchase or sales order. In such cases, you can generate the standalone nota fiscal.
