The following documentation explains how your SAP ERP system and SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica communicates

and processes the return of unused components. The steps in this process are as follows:

● Simulate Material Document and NF-e

● Post Component Return and NF-e

For information about the standard communication and processing in all steps of the incoming process, see
Processing in SAP ERP: Normal Purchasing [page 184].

Features

Simulate Material Document and NF-e

In addition to the usual data needed for a simulation, SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica sends the number of the
reference nota fiscal, that is the NF that was used to send the components to the subcontractor, to your SAP ERP
system.

Your SAP ERP system checks that the referred nota fiscal exists as an outgoing nota fiscal. If several notas fiscais
are found, the system checks that they all have the same sender and recipient. Using the recipient of the referred
nota fiscal, the system tries to find the vendor, plant, and storage location. If this is successful, the system then
checks if the stock quantities at the vendor are sufficient for a return of components posting. If this is not the case,
your SAP ERP system returns an error message to SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica. The system converts the UoM (unit
of measurement) in the XML to the UoM in SAP ERP.

If a posting is possible, the system simulates the tax postings using the prices and other values passed from SAP
Nota Fiscal Eletrônica. The ICMS value should be 0. The tax base is calculated using the values in the XML.

Post Component Return and NF-e

SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica sends data that is necessary for posting the component return to your SAP ERP
system. Your SAP ERP system uses the recipient in the referred nota fiscal to locate the vendor, plant, and storage
location. The system then posts the goods consumption with this data:

● Material and quantity from the XML data

● NF number (number and series) in the Material Slip field
● Referred NF number (number and series) in the document header text

Your SAP ERP system also posts the NF-e for the return. The system calculates the taxes using the prices from the
incoming XML as the prices in the NF-e. After a successful posting, your SAP ERP system returns the material
number to SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica.

7.2.5.10.1.1 Processing in SAP ERP: Future Delivery Invoice

Use

To automatically process the information in the invoice and incoming NF-e for future deliveries and create the
follow-on documents, SAPNota Fiscal Eletrônica communicates with your SAP ERP system and vice versa. This
documentation focuses on the communication and processing specific to future deliveries in the following steps in
the incoming process:

● Assign Purchase Order Items

● Simulate Invoice and NF-e
● Post Invoice and NF-e

For information about the standard communication and processing in all steps of the incoming process, see
Processing in SAP ERP: Normal Purchasing [page 184].

Features

Assign Purchase Order Items

In this process, the communication between SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica and your SAP ERP system is similar to the
communication for normal purchasing. However, when your SAP ERP validates the purchase order assignment,
the system also checks that none of the purchase order items in the assigned purchase order is set for goods-
receipt-based invoice verification. If an item is marked as such in the purchase order, your SAP ERP system returns
an error message to SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica.

Note
The assignment of multiple NF-e items to the same purchase order item is not supported for future delivery
invoices.

Simulate Invoice and NF-e

After the purchase order data is assigned, you can simulate the NF-e using the prices and other data from the
XML. Your SAP ERP system determines the NF type for the future delivery process using the corresponding
Customizing settings in your SAP ERP system. The system then simulates the prices and taxes. The system also
checks that the taxes are consistent for this process type, that is, ICMS is statistical. If this is not the case, your
SAP ERP system returns an error message to SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica.

Post Invoice and NF-e

After the status of the invoice and NF-e posting simulation is set to okay, SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica informs your
SAP ERP system. Your SAP ERP system then uses the data sent by SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica and the required NF
type from your SAP ERP Customizing to post the invoice and corresponding NF-e. Your SAP ERPS system sends
the resulting invoice number and the fiscal year to SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica.

Features

Simulate NF-e based on Goods Receipt

Using the data from SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica, your SAP ERP system checks if the referenced NF-e access key
exists in the database. If it does, the system simulates the goods receipt and its corresponding NF-e. The system
derives the movement type from the delivery type that was entered in your SAP ERP Customizing for the future
delivery process. Your SAP ERP system derives the tax codes from the mapping in your SAP ERP Customizing of
the tax codes for the purchase order to the tax codes of the goods receipt. The system checks the following tax
information:

● ICMS rate to be used in SAP ERP is the same as the rate in the XML
● Incoming XML does not contain IPI
● IPI, if any, is to be posted statistically

Note
The assignment of multiple NF-e items to the same purchase order item is supported as of SAP Enhancement
Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 the. For lower releases, it is essential for the rest of the automation to run correctly
that the assignment between NF-e item and purchase order item is unique.

Create Inbound Delivery

After a successful simulation, your SAP ERP system can create an inbound delivery. SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica
sends the tax data from the XML and informs your SAP ERP system that this is an inbound delivery for the Future
Delivery Goods Receipt process. The system creates the inbound delivery using the delivery type from your
Customizing settings for the future delivery process.

Post Goods Receipt and NF-e based on Inbound Delivery

Using the data from SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica, your SAP ERP system compares the quantities in the inbound
delivery with the quantities in the incoming XML to ensure that they are still the same. The system posts the goods
receipt and NF-e and sends the resulting goods receipt number to SAP Nota Fiscal Eletrônica.

7.2.5.11 NF-e Consignment Overview

Use

The NF-e Consignment process can be described in the following way: A supplier provides products or raw
material for a customer that is also stored in the customer's own warehouse. The supplier remains the rightful
owner of these products or raw materials until the customer (reseller or manufacturer) withdraw them from the
consignment warehouse. By removing products or raw materials from the consignment warehouse, a liability
towards the supplier is created. The invoice is due according to agreed time periods, for example, monthly. The
parties of this contract can arrange that the customer will automatically take over remaining products or raw
materials in the consignment warehouse after a defined time period. The process consists of 2 parts and is similar
to the NF-e Future Delivery process. In contrast to the NF-e Future Delivery process, which issues the invoice
before the delivery of the product, the NF-e Consignment process has a delivery of a product or raw material first
and then an invoice. The delivery comes first and a Goods Receipt is booked for the Consignment warehouse. After
