Introduction

The importation process can be performed in several methods, but in general it must support some basic requirements, such as the generation of the accounts payable document to the supplier in net value in foreign currency (without local taxes and landed costs like additional taxes, clearance taxes, local handling). This guide describes how to perform the importation process in the Brazilian localization of LN CE.

To perform the purchase importation process, execute these steps:

  1. Create a manual document in finance to make an advance to the supplier. This process enabled the customs broker to perform all the clearance and pay all the costs involved in the process.
  2. Create an importation purchase order that includes landed cost defined with zero value (for expected expenses: such as freight, insurance, customs expenses and so on.)
  3. Issue an electronic invoice (Brazilian NF-e) with the Invoicing Typeset to Receipt to receive the invoice and effectively record the goods in inventory. This step ensured that foreign supplier only generates a financial invoice, which is not a valid fiscal document in Brazil.
  4. When you receive the DI, update the amount of landed cost (expenses) on the purchase order. Approve the purchase order and follow the receiving steps, including linking to the XML file approved by SEFAZ from step 3.
  5. Perform the matching of the purchase order manually, for payment to the foreign supplier of the net amount.
  6. Perform the matching process manually related to landed cost for payment of expenses paid by customs broker. For example, an advance to the vendor had already been made, to reduce the balance of that document.
  7. Specify the Fiscal Document for the collection of the service of the customs broker. This Fiscal Document may or may not have payment schedule, depending on whether a financial advance to the customs broker is processed.
  8. Perform accounting postings related to taxes in the matching step.
