Set Up ATCUD Numbering

You can set up ATCUD numbering using the Create Document Numbering spreadsheet.

  1. Download the Create Document Numbering spreadsheet to set up the ATCUD numbering.
    1. Click Navigator, Others, Setup and Maintenance, Tasks, Search and then click Manage Localization Document Numbering.
    2. On the Search For field of the Manage Fiscal Document Sequences, select Portugal.
    3. On the Create Document Numbering in Spreadsheet window, select the business unit, then click OK to download the spreadsheet (DocumentNumberingTemplate.xlsx).
  2. Define the ATCUD numbering setup, open the spreadsheet, DocumentNumberingTemplate.xlsx, and log in to the application.
  3. In the Create Document Numbering spreadsheet:
    1. In the Sequence Name column, enter the document sequence used for transaction types used for Portugal. This is required information.
    2. In the Prefix column, enter the validation code for the relevant document sequence. This code is from the Portuguese tax authority.
    3. In the Separator column, enter the character to separate the prefix and sequence number. Use the character “-“ without quotes.
    4. In the Start Date column, enter the effective start date for the ATCUD numbering setup. This is required information.
    5. In the End Date column, enter the effective end date for the ATCUD numbering setup.
  4. Click Upload to save the changes.

    You cannot create an ATCUD numbering setup for a document sequence that has an existing setup with the same date range.

    The ATCUD will not be generated if the transaction source is external (if Already Billed attribute of the regional information Batch Sources for Portugal is set to Yes). If the transaction source is external, you need to provide the value for the ATCUD along with the signature information using the regional information Transactions for Portugal.

    When you run the Finalize Billing Documents for Portugal scheduled process, it validates the transaction type to ensure that the document sequence associated to it has an active ATCUD numbering setup. The application blocks the completion of transactions if the document sequence associated to the transaction type doesn’t have an active ATCUD numbering setup.
