Use
By law, you are required to ensure that your system digitally signs all invoices for Portuguese company codes that are created manually in Financial Accounting (FI). In this Customizing activity, you indicate which number range series that are used for invoices need digital signatures and when the digital signature process should commence. The system then ensures that invoices within these number range series are signed digitally.
To fulfill legal requirements about the format of the signature, the system uses the entries that you make here for the leading accounting document type and the series to create an invoice number. This invoice number is part of the input for the digital signature. For more information about the way in which the system generates the digital signature, see https://help.sap.com -> SAP ERP -> ERP Central Component -> SAP ERP Central Component -> Financials -> Country Versions -> Portugal -> Cross-Application Functions -> Digital Signature of Invoices. Alternatively, see https://service.sap.com/globalization -> Country Information -> Portugal -> Additional Solution Information.
Requirements
You have defined document types and document number ranges by completing the relevant Customizing activities in the Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Document.
You have activated the SIPT application using the BF11 transaction.
Standard settings
Activities
You obtain and upload a PSE file for each production system from SAP that contains SAP's private encryption key.
In this Customizing activity, for Portuguese company codes, you enter all number range intervals that you use for all accounting document types. You mark the number range intervals that are relevant for digital signature, that is, the FI documents that are created manually within this number range interval must be signed digitally. Do not mark intervals that are used for numbering FI documents that originate as documents in SD. You only need to mark the SD number range interval for digital signature in this case (see step 3).
When you start invoicing, the system generates digital signatures automatically for the documents manually created within the number range intervals that you have marked here.
Whenever you add a new number range interval in FI that is to be used by a Portuguese company code, you record it here and indicate whether it is relevant for digital signature.
