Companies purchasing goods in Brazil must check the electronic invoice at the government before receiving the goods. Bottom line: The government wants to be sure they are getting all of their tax revenue. Companies need to handle these activities with an automated solution that can scale to high volumes of invoices and meet their business process requirements.

Books are stored for five years for tax auditors Challenge: Duplicate Information Tax authorities from each State (27) mandate annual reports consisting of the same data that is reported on a monthly basis for goods movement (ICMS) Exame, Um Mergulho no Labirinto Tributario, 10/09/ SAP AG.

27 Critical Success Factors Select an experienced partner that has proven global delivery capabilities. Make sure the partner is able to support your Brazil localization requirements Ensure your local resources have the bandwidth, especially in the Finance/Tax department. They will assist in the design, validation and testing of the solution. Early participation of local SAP GRC PI expertise is needed to enable messaging with the Brazilian tax authorities (SEFAZ) Invest in Project Management. Significant coordination with global COE s has to occur from BOTH a technical and functional perspective Do not underestimate complexity of installing technical environment such as installing the Brazil CATT (BASIS activity) and configuring GRC PI Server Certification of the transaction by local agencies tends to take time (GRC PI is messaging with SEFAZ correctly) 2011 SAP AG.

28 Lessons Learned Try and standardize global business processes (Global Template approach) to Brazil as much as possible and focus on uniqueness of localization Utilize SAP s native solution for NFe instead of 3 rd Party- SAP NFe allows for tighter integration between SAP components going forward Invest in a Discovery Session to determine infrastructure, resources, business and data requirements for the project. Master Data Quality Customers, Vendor and Material. The government will recalculate taxes and penalties can be assessed if not correct Develop a contingency plan if any communication issues with the government arise. This is not only a go-live requirement, but a necessity for any time after the implementation. Both Parties should have a good understanding of the respective challenges 2011 SAP AG.
