New functionality

Country/region-specific features are now enabled for organizations that have some of or all their operations based in Brazil. These features are implicitly enabled when you install AX 2012 R2 and then set up a legal entity that has an address in Brazil.

Comparison with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009

Features for Brazil have changed considerably since AX 2009. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 includes new functionality for fiscal establishments and fiscal documents.

Fiscal establishments and fiscal documents

What can you do?	AX 2009	AX 2012 R2	Why is this important?
Use fiscal establishments to issue fiscal documents for sales invoices, purchase invoices, and free text invoices.	Not available	A fiscal establishment is a physical location of a legal entity. A fiscal establishment is assigned a tax registration number, issues and receives legal documentation, and assesses or pays taxes. The tax registration number is either Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica (CNPJ) or Inscrição Estadual (IE). A legal entity can have multiple fiscal establishments. Therefore, a fiscal establishment is required to issue and receive fiscal documents in processes that involve sales orders, sales returns, purchase orders, purchase returns, free text invoices, transfer orders, and tax fiscal documents.	You can track fiscal operations and purposes for regulatory reporting.
Transfer warehouse items between warehouses that are located in different fiscal establishments, or that are owned by third-party entities.	Not available	When you transfer items between fiscal establishments, the following transfer fiscal documents are issued and received: Outbound fiscal document – Ship items to a warehouse that is located in a different fiscal establishment. You can issue an outbound fiscal document when you ship the items. Inbound fiscal document – Receive items that are shipped from a warehouse that is located in a different fiscal establishment. You can register an inbound fiscal document when you receive the items.	You can track transfers of items for reporting of fiscal operations.
Create fiscal documents and reports from a single source.	Fiscal documents for sales and purchases were saved to separate locations in the database.	A fiscal document framework is used to guarantee that a fiscal document that is posted conforms to rules and a specific structure, regardless of the transaction from which the fiscal document was originally generated. The fiscal document framework keeps all fiscal documents in a single repository that contains all information that the government requires for reporting, regardless of the reporting format. The fiscal document viewer is also available as part of the fiscal document framework. The fiscal document viewer lets you drill down to all information that is related to fiscal documents: Relationships between fiscal documents and their source documents Fiscal references, sales taxes, referenced processes, fatura and installments, miscellaneous charges, legal texts, and additional information	This feature provides a structure for creating customized reports for fiscal operations.

Use fiscal establishments to issue fiscal documents for sales invoices, purchase invoices, and free text invoices.

What’s new in AX 2012 R2

What’s new	Description
Updates to Fiscal operation codes for Brazil	The Códigos Fiscais de Operações E Prestações (CFOP) codes now include a direction (incoming or outgoing) and a purpose (return, shipment, or fiscal establishment transfer). The CFOP matrix lets you determine the CFOP codes that are used in each transaction, and new transaction types were added: Free text invoice – CFOP codes that can be used in free text invoices. Item requirement – CFOP codes that can be used in project item requirement forms. Third party transfer – CFOP codes that can be used for shipments of items to customers or vendors, or receipts of items from customers or vendors, in transfer orders. Fiscal establishment transfer – CFOP codes that can be used for transfers between fiscal establishments in transfer orders. Tax fiscal document – CFOP codes that can be used for tax fiscal document transactions. Additionally, the earlier transaction types are still valid: Sales – CFOP codes that can be used in sales orders and sales quotations. Purchase – CFOP codes that can be used in purchase orders, purchase quotations, purchase requisitions, and vendor invoices. For more information about the CFOP matrix, see (BRA) Set up the CFOP matrix. For more information about CFOP changes and how the changes affect upgrade, see (BRA) CFOP code (upgrade).
Use fiscal establishments to post sales and purchases for Brazil.	A fiscal establishment is a physical location of a legal entity. A fiscal establishment requires tax registration numbers (CNPJ or IE), issues and receives legal documentation, and assesses or pays taxes. Because a legal entity can have multiple fiscal establishments, each fiscal establishment is now required to issue and receive fiscal documents in processes that involve sales orders, sales returns, purchase orders, purchase returns, free text invoices, transfer orders, and tax fiscal documents. In processes that involve sales orders, sales returns, purchase orders, purchase returns, and transfer orders, the fiscal establishment is determined by a relation that is defined between the fiscal establishment and the site. In processes that involve free text invoices and tax fiscal documents, the fiscal establishment has to be determined by the user before fiscal document posting. For more information, see (BRA) Create a fiscal establishment and (BRA) About fiscal establishments.
Purchase posting enhancements for Brazil	You can create and post a purchase invoice by specifying the CFOP codes. You must specify CFOP codes for a purchase order, a returned item, or an item that has a product type of Item. You can also specify the fiscal document type for a return purchase order. You can also perform the following tasks: Set up the fiscal document text for a purchase order or a vendor invoice. Create reference invoices that link one or more vendor invoice references when an invoice is created. Generate, post, and print the vendor invoice from a non-taxpayer vendor, and then post the purchase invoice. Cancel an incorrect fiscal document, and indicate that the fiscal document is canceled, and that all ledger and financial transactions are reversed. For more information, see (BRA) Set up the CFOP codes.
Check payments and Bordero payments for Brazil	You can use a check or the Bordero method of payment to make vendor payments. The check or Bordero payment is generated by Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). When you use a check, you can post and print one check per bank or vendor. The check is issued in the name of the bank or the vendor. When you use the Bordero method of payment, you can post and print one Bordero payment per bank. You can also generate the Bordero report for a bank. You can reverse a check or Bordero payment. When you reverse a payment, the transaction is canceled, and the related vendor invoices are available for settlement. If taxes were withheld from the check or Bordero payment, the withholding taxes are also reversed. For more information, see (BRA) About check payments and Bordero payments.
Brazilian fiscal documents for the direct delivery process	You can now relate taxes with fiscal values 1 and 3 by setting a delivery item sales tax group and a delivery sales tax group for the sales order when a CFOP has an associated delivery CFOP that allows a delivery slip to be used together with the Nota fiscal eletrônica (NF-e) feature when a delivery slip fiscal document is posted. You can cancel a delivery slip fiscal document. For more information, see (BRA) Set up the CFOP codes.
Fiscal document texts	Brazilian law requires that you print text for some transactions. Legal text is a short message that is printed on fiscal documents and the Documento Auxiliar da Nota fiscal eletrônica (DANFE). Legal text provides additional information for a fiscal document, such as the fiscal purpose of the document or complementary information about the fiscal document. You can now set up master data for legal text, and link that data to the CFOP, vendor, customer, item, sales order, or purchase order. You can set legal text so that it is printed automatically on fiscal documents and DANFE. Legal text is also sent to Sistema Publico de Escrituração Digital (SPED). For more information, see (BRA) Setting up fiscal document texts.
Project debit notes for Brazil	You can use debit notes to reimburse expenses that a service provider makes for a project. You can also cancel an incorrect debit note. When you cancel a debit note, the related transactions are reversed, and the status of the original debit note is updated to Canceled. For more information, see (BRA) About project debit notes.
Cancel a posted project invoice for Brazil.	You can cancel a project invoice that has been posted if the posting date is not in a closed period, and if the customer invoice has not been paid or settled. The cancellation reverses all postings for the transaction to ledger accounts such as accounts receivable, tax accounts, and sales. For more information, see (BRA) Cancel a project invoice.
Withholding tax for Brazil	Withholding tax can now be determined by fiscal document line. Therefore, the process now resembles the process for determining taxes. You can specify a withholding tax group for customers and vendors. You can also specify an item withholding tax group that is used by default for items on sales order and purchase order lines, but that can be modified. For more information, see (BRA) Set up a withholding tax.
Updates to Sales and purchase operation types in Brazil	Companies in Brazil follow a different process for posting purchase orders and sales orders when there is no inventory movement or related customer/vendor transaction. You implement this process by configuring the purchase and sales operation types in the Operation type form. The operation types control the process of sales and purchase postings while you perform the following tasks: Create inventory movements. Create customer/vendor transactions. Identify posting account numbers. Identify customer/vendor posting profiles Identify items that are in a transit warehouse. The Brazilian government also requires that companies in Brazil create fiscal documents for every inbound and outbound transaction, regardless of the transaction type. For more information, see (BRA) Set up operation types.
Enhancements for Brazilian tax calculations	You can set up taxation codes based on the validity period that is specified by the government. Multiple fiscal values can be specified for one taxation code. When the taxation code is selected for the sales tax code and the item sales tax group, the correct taxation code and fiscal value should be selected. The following new tax types were added: ICMS-ST – This tax type determines tributary substitution of Imposto Sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços (ICMS). ICMS-DIF – This tax type determines whether a purchase has a differential rate in an interstate purchase of ICMS. For ICMS-ST Tax types, you can select a tributary substitution method of either Markup or Simplified to calculate the tributary substitution. Tax substitution is the collection of sales tax at the first point of sale, where the markup tax rate is estimated by the fiscal authorities. This is done to expedite the collection of taxes. Note You can no longer change the taxation code or fiscal value on sales order and purchase order lines. For more information, see (BRA) Set up and calculate tax on sales and purchases (BRA) Sales tax codes (modified form).
Updates to fiscal document types for Brazil	The fiscal document type classifies the type of fiscal document that is involved in sales, purchases, and tax fiscal document transactions between companies. The fiscal document type defines the number sequence, series, document model, specie, and layout of the purchase invoice, sales invoice, free text invoice, and tax fiscal document transaction. You can modify a fiscal document type if no transaction has been created that uses the fiscal document type. You can specify the default fiscal document type for customers and vendors. You can specify the fiscal document type for sales orders, purchase orders, free text invoices, and tax fiscal document transactions. For more information, see (BRA) About updates to fiscal document types.
Distribute direct and indirect costs among manufactured products for Brazil.	The setup of cost centers in the absorption cost functionality lets you calculate and post the direct and indirect costs that are incurred by the manufacturing process for a fiscal period. You can then calculate absorption costs by distributing the total direct and indirect costs among the products that are manufactured during the fiscal period. For more information, see (BRA) Set up, create, and manage absorption costs.
Project management and accounting	Project invoices are integrated with fiscal documents, and you can generate an NF-e federal or municipal from the project invoices that have been posted. You can cancel a project invoice. In this case, you also cancel a fiscal document that is related to the project invoice. You can generate a delivery slip fiscal document from a project. This feature combines the functionality for item requirements and delivery slips. For more information, see (BRA) Cancel a project invoice and (BRA) Post delivery slips for project item requirements.
Generate fiscal documents for project sales orders and project item requirements for Brazil when packing slips are posted.	In AX 2012 R2, when the packing slips for project sales orders and project item requirements are posted, the taxes that are included are calculated, and the corresponding fiscal documents are generated. For more information, see (BRA) About calculation of taxes and (BRA) About fiscal documents and the fiscal document framework.
Complementary invoices	You must create a complementary invoice or nota fiscal complementar to adjust a fiscal document that was generated for an incorrect price, Imposto Sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI), or ICMS amount. A complementary invoice is issued only to adjust a positive difference. For example, a complementary invoice is generated if the price of an item on the original invoice is incorrect, and the correct price for the item is higher than the price that is recorded on the original invoice. You can create a complementary invoice to adjust errors in the price or quantity of goods or services, in the tax percentage, or in the tax calculation. The complementary invoice is a fiscal document that complements the original fiscal document. All information except miscellaneous charges is updated from the original fiscal document. You cannot add or delete lines from a complementary invoice. For more information, see (BRA) Create and post a sales complementary fiscal document.
NF-e process	The following enhancements have been made to the NF-e process: You can set up web services, rejection codes, and schemas for a domain. For each fiscal establishment, you can set up a certificate, environment, NF-e version, authority, template, schema validation, automatic printing of the DANFE after NF-e approval, and a contingency mode for NF-e. You can set up web services that are related to an authority. You can then share the same set of web services between fiscal establishments that are located in different states. You can print the DANFE as a pro-forma document without posting the invoice. The pro-forma DANFE is marked with the "Sem validade fiscal" watermark. The DANFE can also be printed automatically when the NF-e is approved by the government tax authority (SEFAZ). You can check and update a rejected or pending NF-e on the Rejected fiscal documents with pending cancellation list page and the Fiscal documents pending an update to contingency mode list page. For more information, see (BRA) About the NF-e process.
Updates to the general ledger for Brazil	The updates to the general ledger for Brazil include the following changes: New rules for day books. You can generate accounting books for trial balances. You can use the analytical ledger. You can open and close terms for legal accounting reports. You can create parent ledger accounts that have children.

For more information, see (BRA) General ledger.
Use fiscal establishments to post sales and purchases for Brazil.	Use fiscal establishments to issue fiscal documents for sales invoices, purchase invoices, and free text invoices. A fiscal establishment is a physical location of a legal entity. A fiscal establishment requires tax registration numbers (CNPJ or IE), issues and receives legal documentation, and assesses or pays taxes. A legal entity can have multiple fiscal establishments. For more information, see (BRA) About fiscal establishments.
Enhancements to free text invoices for Brazil	You can create and post a free text invoice by specifying fiscal information. You can also perform the following tasks: Add fiscal document texts or legal texts to a free text invoice. Correct a free text invoice to generate a corrected free text invoice and a credit note for the canceled invoice. Cancel a free text invoice. View information about a bill of lading for fixed asset sales in the Post free text invoice form. Create and post a free text invoice that includes miscellaneous charges for a fixed asset. In accordance with Brazilian regulations, the revenue in the subledger journal is booked based on the gross amount and includes all the taxes that apply to sales. The taxes that apply to sales are booked as credit in the tax payable account and as debit in the tax expense account. You can use the Sales tax offset posting type to book the tax expenses. For more information, see (BRA) Free text invoices.
Import fiscal documents for Brazil.	You can issue an import fiscal document when you create a purchase order to import items from a foreign vendor. You can specify the import declaration information for a purchase order for a foreign vendor before you post the purchase order. You can also cancel an incorrect import fiscal document.

Fiscal documents and the fiscal document framework	A fiscal document framework is used to guarantee that fiscal documents that are posted conform to rules and a specific structure, regardless of the transaction from which a fiscal document was originally generated. The fiscal document framework keeps all fiscal documents in a single repository. This repository contains all the information that the government requires for reporting, regardless of the reporting format. The fiscal document viewer is also available as part of the fiscal document framework. The fiscal document view lets you drill down to all information that is related to fiscal documents: Relationships between fiscal documents and their source documents Fiscal references, sales taxes, referenced processes, fatura and installments, miscellaneous charges, legal texts, and additional information For more information, see (BRA) About fiscal documents and the fiscal document framework.
Uptake of Brazilian localization requirements for retail product management	Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for Retail supports several features that help users easily manage their retail products. For example, you can modify product attributes by using a mass update tool, manage products by using the retail category hierarchy feature, and manage products by using the released product model that is supported in AX 2012. This feature adds the Brazil-specific product attribute fields to these features, so that users in Brazil can take advantage of these tools to easily manage their retail products. For more information, see About retail hierarchies and About setting up retail products.
