### Adding Additional Item Master Information for Brazil

This section provides an overview of additional item master information for Brazil and discusses how to add additional item master information.

#### Understanding Additional Item Master Information for Brazil

The Brazilian government requires Brazilian businesses to enter specific tax information that is related to each inventory item. The system uses this tax information to calculate Imposto sobre Produtos Industrialzados (IPI), Imposto sobre Circulaõ de Mercadorias e Servios (ICMS), and Imposto sobre Circulaõ de Mercadorias e Servios Substituto (ICMS) Substitution taxes; generate nota fiscal documents; and generate applicable fiscal reports.

You must enter general information for all stock and nonstock items. The system uses this information to identify and process each item in the distribution and manufacturing systems.

In Brazil, the government requires companies to maintain this additional information for each item:

- Fiscal classification.

- Tax code (IPI or ICMS).

- Whether the item is subject to tax substitution markup.

- Item origin.

- Purchase use.

- Messages to print.

- Retention of IR.

- Reduction of IR.

- Whether the item is a part of retention or reduction of INSS.

The system automatically displays the additional information form when you enter a new inventory item record. To access the additional information form when you inquire on an existing inventory item, select a record and select Regional Information from the Row menu.

You may also review (but not add) additional information from the Inventory Master - Brazil menu (G76B4111). You can review additional information by choosing Item Master.

When you enter additional information for an item, the system creates a record for the item in the F76411 table.

### Adding Additional Branch/Plant Information for Brazil

This section provides an overview of additional branch/plant information and discusses how to add additional branch/plant information.

#### Understanding Additional Branch/Plant Information for Brazil

Information about an item might be different from warehouse to warehouse. For example, taxes might be applicable to an item at one warehouse but not at another. You might also have different quantity requirements for each item, based on the warehouse. After you enter master information for an item, you can assign the item to different warehouses or branch/plants. You can then customize the item information for each branch/plant. You can also specify at which locations in the branch/plant the item is stored.

Every system that retrieves item information searches for the item branch/plant information before using the item master information.

In Brazil, companies can override the Item Master information that they enter for specific lot locations. Companies should maintain these fields:

- Fiscal classification.

- Tax code (IPI or ICMS).

- Whether the item is subject to tax substitution markup.

- Item origin.

- Purchase use.

- Messages to be printed.

To associate the additional information that is required to meet Brazilian reporting requirements with the inventory items that you enter, the country that is specified in the user display preferences must be Brazil (BR). To access the additional information form when you inquire on an existing inventory item, select a record and then select Regional Information from the Row menu. Brazilian information needs to be added only by location if the location is different than that added for the item.

You may also review (but not add) additional information from the Inventory Master - Brazil menu (G76B4111). You can review additional information by choosing Item Branch/Plant - Brazil.

When you enter additional branch/plant information for an item, the system creates a record for the item in the F76412 table.
