Brazil Localisation

Hi,
I am in the process of designing the Finance Solution at one of the Leading construction companies (constructing structures for oil exploration). The primary requirements and some preliminary design thoughts are as follows:
- Group reporting under IFRS (group consisting of about 100 Legal entities- company codes)
- Fiscal year is December to November
- Operating chart of accounts - IFRS
- Leading Ledger in the New GL is for IFRS accounting and reporting
- For all the companies the group Fiscal year is proposed to be December to November
- One Controlling area for the group - all legal entities assigned to the same controlling area
- Non-Leading ledger for complying with Country specific requirements. There are situations that some of the countries in the group have different fiscal year for local reporting
- On the Fixed Assets- Each country will have country specific chart of depreciation and invariably it is intended that Book 01 will be IFRS rules and will be integrated and post to the Leading ledger
- Other Books (Depreciation areas) will be for the local statutory and tax requirements.
Questions for Brazil country version
- I have been told that for Brazil the Fiscal year will be Calendar year and the Brazilian Localisation tables looks at the Fiscal Year that is assigned to the company code and not the fiscal year that is assigned for the company code to the Non-leading ledger--- Is this true?? That means I have problems with Fiscal year and also Controlling area
- Understand the best practice for Fixed Assets is that Book 01 for Brazil has to be for Local requirements (CIAP) and cannot be IFRS---- Is this true??
Any documentation on a similar design or help in this area for the Brazil implementation will be of great help to me.
Thanking you
Best regards
Rangan

Hi Rangan,
I have to admit that I am not an expert in this area.
However regarding your first point, a quick internet search reveals:
(see http://www.indexmundi.com/brazil/fiscal_year.html)
that the fiscal year does not need to be necesarily the calendar year in Brazil.
However as the Brazilian country version is one of the most complex one, which SAP delivers, I would strongly recommend to contact local SAP consulting (this needs to be resources which know both the legal requirements as well as SAP modules)  in order to implement the country version properly. From my point of view, this is a MUST. It is important to stress that in Brazil, the logistics / operations area also needs to be localized - it is NOT sufficient to adapt the FI area only.
You can find further info on Brazil via:
service.sap.com/gkb > SAP ERP Globalization Knowledge Base  > select Brazil
This can be considered as central information point.

    Hi Experts,
    We have a question about a Brazilian Implementation. Our Client is planning to Import the product and also locally manufacture the same Product in Brazil.

  • In Brazil. . . Do I need an adapter to plug in my HP Mini 110 into a 220 Voltage plug?

    Hi! I'm living in Brazil for a while and just got here. I have an HP Mini 110 and the plugs here say 220V. Is it safe to plug in my computer or do I need some kind of converter? If so what kind?
    My power is about to run out!!!!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Sasha

    No. The power brick for the iPod senses the voltage and adjusts for the different ones.
    You will need an adapter to switch form flat us pins tot the round pins used on their plugs.

  • Duvidas sobre o processo de consignação em compras (MM) no Brazil.

    Sap recomenda o uso de 2 códigos de material para tratar o processo de consignação para empresas no Brazil.
    Um código é o material consignado de propriedade do fornecedor. O outro código de material é o material que passa a ser de propriedade da empresa após o faturamento.
    Para esses materials existem diferentes códigos. Após a entrada da nota fiscal de faturamento de consignação pela recomendação é feito o movimento 309 (Transferencia de material para material).
    Em nosso caso temos o material de consignação sendo utilizado em uma planta produtiva. O código de material que representa o material consignado de propriedade da empresa faz parte da lista técnica do material.
    O MRP Cria as requisições deste material consignado de propriedade da planta. No entanto a requisição deve ser para o código do material de propriedade do fornecedor, pois criamos o pedido de compra para o código do material consignado pelo fornecedor e não para o material que será de propriedade da empresa.
    Pergunta: Como poderemos transferir essas requisições do código da empresa para o código que devemos comprar do fornecedor??
    Exemplificando:
    Produto Acabado = Código Z
    Materia Prima para produzir o produto acabado Z : Código do materia prima A
    Na lista técnica do produto Z indica que precisamos de 2 unidades do materia prima A
    MRP Cria as requisições para o materias prima A
    Material consignado pelo fornecedor = Código material CA (É a mesma materia prima A, porém com outro código, para controlar o consignado)
    Precisamos comprar do fornecedor o material CA, pois este é o material consignado
    Como transferir a requisição gerada pelo MRP para que o código a ser comprado seja o CA e não o código A?
    Obrigada.

    Oi Rozie.
    O que você quer dizer com "Sap recomenda o uso de 2 códigos de material..."? Não sei onde leu isso mas até imagino o motivo da sua colocação. Enfim... dê uma olhada antes nas best practices que estão disponíveis no marketplace sobre o processo de consignação para o Brasil.

  • Iphone 5 - 64GB (APPLE BRAZIL) - DANGER!!!!

    language: portugues (Brasil)
    subject: customer service Brazil.
    Boa noite,
    ID CASE: 391104143
    Protocolo ligação: 391059417
    ID REPAIR: D81262649
    etc.
    Efetuei a compra do Iphone 5 no dia 22/12/2012 (excelente presente de NATAL), porém até a presente data 23/01/2013, não consegui utiliza-lo, nem um feedback concreto da Apple.
    Pensando na Apple, ser uma empresa renomada, dando aos seus clientes uma atenção especial e aos seus produtos, onde em todos os produtos que obtive não tive problemas, infelizmente o problema com o aparelho Iphone 5 na leitura do nano SIM., agrava-se até a data de hoje.
    Fora encaminhado a Apple Brasil, no dia 04/01/2013 e disponível para analise no dia 09/01/2013, onde fora concluido e desde o dia 10/01/2013, encontra-se para entrega.
    Desde então, iniciou o processo:
    Ao entrar em contato com a Apple, fui informado a entrar em contato com a transportadora, pois o aparelho fora entregue na mesma data (10/01/2013).
    Ao entrar em contato com a transportadora, fui informado para entrar em contato com a Apple.
    Após inúmeras tentativas de localização, fui informado que um responsável (Sr. Bruno) estaria tratando especialmente de meu problema.
    Porém... fora solicitado uma semana para avaliar o ocorrido.
    Após uma semana,
    Recebi a informação da Apple, que o aparelho se "perdeu" no envio. Ninguem sabia onde foi parar meu aparelho.
    Passada mais uma semana,
    Recebi a informação de que estaria analisando o ocorrido porém, e caso a transportado não entregasse o aparelho até a data de hoje (23/01/2013) a Apple, sob autorização de vossa pessoa (Sr. Bruno) estaria providenciando um novo aparelho na caixa com todos os acessórios dentro de 7 dias (até 30/01/2013).
    Passada mais uma outra semana:
    Hoje, precisamente as 19:30, recebo uma ligação da Apple, informando que o aparelho não encontra com a transportadora, e a Apple não tem como repor um novo aparelho, e que meu aparelho antigo (testado) fora "destruído"
    após análise. Fora dito que meu aparelho se encontra perdido pelo mundo, não tendo uma previsão de chegada ao Brasil. Logo, sem previsão para ter meu aparelho em perfeito estado.
    Fora sugerido o envio do aparelho danificado (agora em bom estado) para minha pessoa na data de hoje, para que eu possa encaminhar aos USA para que seja feita a troca, porém não estou no endereço informado para a entrega. Assim como, um relatorio para que seja encaminhado a Apple USA, reportando todo o processo e o ocorrido durante este período.
    Em todo o contato feito pela Apple, as informações não foram verdadeiras, onde o cliente está sendo enganado criando expectativas quanto ao recebimento do produto. Até quando isto acontecerá?
    Fora proposto o reembolso no valor pago pelo aparelho, onde após mais de um mes sem poder utilizar, teria de aguardar aproximadamente mais 03 (três) semanas para que pudesse ter o dinheiro em minha conta.
    Alguem saberia me informar:
    Onde encontra-se meu Iphone?
    E minha conta telefonica? Quem arcará com as despesas durante este período?
    E a renovação do contrato com a operadora devido a aquisição do Iphone 5 "inutilizavel"?
    Quem pagará a passagem para adquirir um novo aparelho?
    Quem pagará a estadia e despesas?
    Assim como possuo outros produtos Apple, o interessa é poder utilizar o aparelho em ótimo estado e não o reembolso.
    Sei do valor da marca Apple, e gostaria de uma solução o mais breve possível.
    Porém, o posicionamento e as tratativas junto ao cliente trazendo expectativas falsas, esta criando um desgaste ao processo de suporte/assistencia técnica e reparo da Apple Brasil. Infelizmente, não acredito mais nas informações que me são passadas.
    Caso alguem encontre um Iphone, estarei no aguardo de um posicionamento concreto de alguma parte do mundo
    Caso queiram encaminhar vosso aparelho para análise, reparo e devolução após "tantos" dias.
    Att.
    Fausto

    warranty in most of the world is not rules set by apple or the place you bought it or ..
    it's laws passed by your government
    if a party violate that law you should take contact to whatever consumer protection agencies you have in your country

  • WHT calculation for IRRF for Brazil

    hello,
    We are implementing SAP in CHEP Brazil and needed help with WHT configuration for IRRF WHT for natural person. The standard SAP configuration doesnu2019t have space to enter deductable tax amount.
    I am referring to 'Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte'.
    It has to be calculated in the following way:
    For example:
    From R$ 1.434,60 to 2,150 you have to withhold 7,5%, BUT from this 7,5% tax amount you have to deduct 107,59 R$ and then the slab varies fro tax deduction.
    There is no place in SAP deduct tax amount from the calculated amount of withholding, the only possibility is to deduct from the base amount.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    JD

    JD, was talking with Fernando on this one further yesterday as I am in the process of updating rates for the coming year right now. First and foremost and I would agree with the suggested sol'n for entering 'calculation formula'. Basically transposing what is indicated by the Brazil gov't into that view in the config. Depending on min/max configuration that you have, then you can deduce the logic of your posting using SAP utility RFWT1000. In walking through this utilty we were able to ascertain that the "parcela" value is applied to base value minus exemption result. The parcela is calculated as follows (I believe) ...
    1,499.15               0.00     0.00     0.00
    2,246.75               7.50     0.00     1,499.16
    2,995.70               15.00     0.00     2,246.76
    3,743.19                22.50     0.00     2,995.71
    99,999,999,999.99  27.50     0.00     3,743.20
    First you take 1499.15 * 7.5 % gets you 112.43 this is parcela value used in calculation in second level. Then you take 2246.757.5% + 112.43 to get 280.94, this is parcela value used in calculation in third level. Then you take 2995.77.5%280.94 to get 505.62, this is parcela value used in calculation in fourth level. Then you take 3743.19*5%505.62 to get 692.78, this is parcela value used in calculation in fifth level. Note the change in the multiplier to 5 % in the last example. All of this falls in line with entries on Brazil Gov't website:

    Hope this helps, please revert if not.

  • How Can I choose Iphone 5s models that work with LTE in Brazil. The Iphone needs to Support Band 7. If I buy the wrong model can apple change it ?

    I am planning to buy an Iphone 5s in October, but I have to make sure that the model will work with the LTE services we have in Brazil. I know that Apple made 2 Models that support Band 7. See Below.
    Model A1457*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20)
    Model A1530*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20); TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40)
    How can I make sure I will buy the correct model through the internet ? Can Apple change the Iphone In case they send the model that does not support LTE services in Brazil ?
    Thanks,

    JP
    Have you personally tried those models with Brazilian LTE networks? Do they work? If so, fine.  If not, then besides that, there is the problem of the warranty which is not international. The user will have to return the phone back to the country of purchase for both warranty and out of warranty service. So what might seem cheaper at first glance might not be in the end.
    Anyways, it your money and the OP's should he want to go ahead with your recommendation.

  • Laptop says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English Version'. Can anyone help please, have no idea what to do and haven't used laptop in over a year. iPad/iPhone have lost tunes from laptop too.

    my laptop will not open iTunes, as it just says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version'. I have not synconised my iPhone 5S or iPad 2 with iTunes for well over a year. I noticed the music which had previously been put into iTunes has dissappeared from my phone and iPad. I also want to remove some movies from my iPad and iPhone and there is no way I can do this without being able to manually sync with the Laptop which is running windows 7. Has anyone else come across this and please can you help? I am no expert in fact I know very little about the Laptop, it is my Husbands baby but he doesn't understand anything to do with Apple including iTunes. I will need any advise explained step by step please.

    Hi Shelady,
    Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from the first link below. If that doesn't do it, the suggestions in the second article should resolve the installation issue.

  • Can`t get MacBook Pro game App`s in Brazil! Why?

    I`ve been trying to buy game app`s in Mac App Store but they are not available in Brazil`s Apple site. Why? Is it possible to do it through US or Canadian Mac App Stores?

    The app stores are linked to a credit card with a physical addres so buying from app stores in other countries has been an issue for a number of people...doesn't work.  If you had an addresss and credit card in the other country and could establish another account based on that information you could try.

    I´d like to exclude my accounts and creat another account with my same email. How can I do It?

    I don't know if that works on the iPhone, but....
    View your SETTINGS and choose ICLOUD. That will give you your cloud settings. At the very bottom it has a delete button. Click it an see what happens. After deleting the account (and potentially loosing data connected with it) you should be able to log in to iCloud using your old id.

  • How to use TAXBRJ with TAXBRA activated at core level for Brazil

    Hi Experts,
    I am supporting Brazil localization  customization in ECC 6.0 for our company. We activated TAXBRA for Brazil. We flagged off CBT for all SD pricing procedure knowing the value of RVABRA. But one process in brazil we presently using in 4.6C with TAXBRJ along with customized pricing procdure make use of formula based calculation.
    So we would like to follow the same method in ECC 6.0 also. However the condition based calculation RVABRA does not support this process as this process requires more formula based calculation.
    So we need to know is there any chance to use TAXBRJ with customized formula based SD price procedure for our requirement.
    I read through document (Condition based calculation in R/3 for Brazil version 3.1) the following steps to do alternate calculation procedure:
    "In R/3 Enterprise, an extension to the concept described in section 5.8 has been introduced. In the table J_1BMWSKZKALSM,
    alternative calculation procedures can be specified that are to be used for certain tax codes instead of the standard one. This is achieved by reading this table in a BAdI before the call to the pricing procedure and modifying the communication fields that contain the calculation procedure and the tax code.
    Thus the user could e.g. use the external tax calculation for some tax codes (by specifying TAXBRJ in the above mentioned table) or use several smaller calculation procedures, e.g. in case of performance problems or new requirements."
    We also would like to know what is the Badi mentioned in this document
    to acheive this ?
    Thanks

  • Office 2013 removed grammar & writing style options for Portuguese (Brazil) language

    The pt-br (Portuguese - Brazil) proofing tools for Office 2010 included many grammar options but apparently these have been removed in Office 2013. Pt-pt (Portuguese - Portugal) still retains these options for some reason. I asked about this issue on the
    Microsoft Community forum and the forum moderator confirmed that the Brazilian Portuguese Office 2013 spell checker does indeed lack these features.
    I know that the pt-br proofing tools was designed by Itautec Brazil. So I contacted the project leader and she answered me as follows:
    " Someone from Itautec contacted Microsoft and they answered: “Microsoft has now replaced all of the above features with our own versions - we do not intend to ship the Itautec features with any new Microsoft product.”"
    I would like use Office 2013, but I cannot work without a robust Brazilian Portuguese spell checker. Is using Office 2010 my only option?
