3 Fiscal Document Management

RFMCS main objective is the management of fiscal documents and the support to fiscal document receiving and generation.

Fiscal Document Receiving is the set of RFMCS features meant to support the receiving of fiscal documents associated with a transaction and based on a pre-defined processing workflow.

Manage Document Receipt

The receiving of fiscal documents can be initiated from external applications by leveraging REST services available to submit a fiscal document to RFMCS. Consult the Retail Fiscal Management Cloud Service Inbound and Outbound Integration Guide for details.

Irrespectively of that, it is possible to start the receiving of a fiscal document from the Fiscal Document Receiving screens. This functionality is accessed from the main RFM task list under Documents > Manage Document Receipt.

Figure 3-3 Upload Fiscal Document


Upload Fiscal Document

Although the Fiscal Document Receiving architecture was designed to support the receipt of a document without any user intervention by leveraging REST services and a complete automated workflow process, it is possible to manually add a new document to be processed by using the “Create” button: create button. This feature allows a manual upload of a fiscal document and the association to a workflow to process it.

The Upload Fiscal Document screen allows the selection of the workflow and the fiscal document to be processed. The file can also be dragged and dropped directly in the screen.

Depending on the workflow, a specific type of document is expected and validations will take place to make sure the valid document is uploaded for a selected workflow.

Once the file is dropped in this screen and the OK button is pressed, the workflow will be called to process the document. In case of success, the new document will be displayed in the Manage Document Receipt screen and the workflow processing will be initiated.

Manage Document Generation

The generation of fiscal documents can only be initiated from external applications by leveraging REST services available to request a fiscal document to RFMCS. Consult the Retail Fiscal Management Cloud Service Inbound and Outbound Integration Guide for details.

Irrespective of that, it is possible to visualize and follow the document creation workflow processing from the Fiscal Document Generation screen. This functionality is accessed from the main RFM task list under Documents > Manage Document Generation.

Figure 3-6 Fiscal Document Screen – Document Tab


Fiscal Document screen – Document tab

The Fiscal document detail screen has two separated tabs that can be reached by clicking on the left side bar which will have two options:

  • document icon Document

In the header section of the screen the below information is presented:

  • Detail of Document Id: document id being viewed/edited.

  • Workflow Progress: to show the progress of the workflow completeness.

  • Document Status: icon-based document status

In the Document screen, it is displayed the fiscal document in a folder structure with the sub-level nodes being displayed as the nodes are opened. The folder structure on the left side of the screen will have only nodes up to the lowest level present in the document being displayed. This view represents the original fiscal document structure including tag names and descriptions. An additional setup allows the description of the folders/tags to be fetched from lower levels in order to make the visualization more meaningful. This view also leverages translation capabilities.

The screen section with the folder structure view will have some options in a task bar as follows:

  • Find: this is a search box where specific tag names or description can be inserted in order to move the focus to the first match line

  • expand all icon Expand All: will expand all folders of the document tree

  • collapse all icon Collapse All: will fold back all folders of the document tree

  • reset icon Reset: will bring the initial view of the document. For the Brazilian NFe document the initial view will start at the fourth level of the folder structure.

Figure 3-7 Fiscal Document - Edit Item/PO Screen


Edit Item/PO Screen

Exclusively for FDR and depending on the workflow step, the Edit button in Fiscal Document – Document tab screen will be enabled for a user action. The items or lines with the “Action Required” icon will identify the records where the Edit button will become enabled. Depending on the workflow being processed this button will have different actions available. For example, in the POFDR workflow, this action will be enabled in case the deduction step is not completed successfully and will call another screen named Edit Item screen. The purpose of this action will be to manually perform the association of the item in the fiscal document and the item and Purchase order available in the system.

The Edit Item screen will be opened in a new tab and will have the document item details being edited, a search criteria section and a grid. The list of fields in each section will be defined as bellow:

Document Item Details: a list of the main information associated with the item that is being edited. For POFDR this information are fetched from the fiscal document: item number, code, EAN, description, quantity and number of the PO.

Search Criteria: the search criteria will be enabled for edition by clicking on the “Edit” button and will have Location Type, Location, Supplier, Supplier Site, Order Number and Item as the available options. Once the search criteria are defined, you can apply them in the “Apply” button and the screen grid will be refreshed based on it.
