Task Flow for Intercompany Shipments

Record import fiscal documents for intercompany drop-shipment transactions that import goods.

The fiscal document is associated with the sales order, sales order line, and fulfillment line, and can be used to control the progression of financial orchestration events and support downstream accounting.

Before capturing fiscal documents for intercompany drop shipments, complete the following setup:

  • Configure a valid Financial Orchestration flow between the participating business units.
  • Enable shipment-flow hold controls.
  • Create the required financial flow agreements for the intercompany drop-shipment process.
  • Configure the Import Material by Drop Shipment fiscal flow.
  • Complete the required fiscal setup for Brazil import transactions.

Capture an Import Fiscal Document

To capture an import import fiscal document:
  1. Create the intercompany drop-shipment order.
  2. Verify that the associated financial orchestration flow is created.
  3. Open Fiscal Document Capture.
  4. Create an import fiscal document using the Import Material by Drop Shipment fiscal flow.
  5. Enter the sales order, sales order line, and fulfillment line information.
  6. Enter the import tax information from the fiscal document.
  7. Save and validate the fiscal document.

    The fiscal document is associated with the intercompany drop-shipment transaction and is available for downstream processing.

Import Material by Drop Shipment Fiscal Flow

Use the Import Material by Drop Shipment fiscal flow when capturing fiscal documents for Brazil import drop-shipment transactions.

Fiscal Document for Import Drop Shipment

The fiscal document contains the sales-order and fulfillment-line references required to associate the import transaction with the corresponding financial orchestration flow.

Review Import Taxes

After the fiscal document is captured, review the import tax information.

The fiscal document can include:
  • Recoverable import taxes
  • Nonrecoverable import taxes
  • Import-related charges
These values are used during downstream accounting and costing processes.
The accounting impact can include:
  • Trade Receipt Accrual accounting
  • Trade In Transit accounting
  • Trade Sale Issue Cost accounting
  • Cost of Goods Sold accounting

    Subledger Accounting (SLA) sources are available to reference fiscal-document attributes and inbound CFOP information.

Manage Financial Orchestration Event Holds

Shipment-flow hold controls can prevent financial orchestration events from progressing until the required fiscal document is available.

When a hold rule is configured, the trade event remains on hold until the fiscal document reaches the required status.

Considerations

When processing import fiscal documents for intercompany drop shipments:
  • Taxes are calculated using the assessable value recorded on the fiscal document.
  • The transfer price can differ from the fiscal-document amount.
  • Differences between the transfer price and the fiscal-document amount can result in processing holds that require user review.
  • Configure tolerance rules to identify significant price differences and data-entry discrepancies.
  • Nonrecoverable import taxes are included in cost calculations.
  • Charges such as Siscomex fees can be accounted for through overhead absorption, depending on your configuration.
  • Direct sales returns to the originating business unit aren't supported for this flow.
