Automatically Derive Sold to Legal Entity and Business Unit During XML Import

For businesses with complex and shared legal entity enterprise structures, you can automatically derive the Sold to Legal Entity and Business Unit values for incoming Fiscal Documents using XML import.

To automatically derive these values, do the following:
  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Profile Options task:
    • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
    • Task: Manage Profile Options
  2. On the Manage Profile Options page, enable the ORA_CMF_DERIVE_LE_BU_FROM_PARTY profile option.
  3. Click Save and Close.

Once you enable this option, during XML import, the application uses the CNPJ details on the incoming XML fiscal document to identify the Legal Reporting Unit and derive the Sold to Legal Entity and Bill to Business Unit details from the LRU.

In scenarios where either there is no business unit or there are multiple business units associated with the LRU, Business Unit having the legal Entity of the LRU as Default LE, will be derived as Bill to BU. However, if multiple business units or no business unit have the reference of the Legal Entity of LRU as Default LE, derivation will not happen and will require manual intervention from the Manage Interface Exceptions page.
