Use
By law, you are required to ensure that your system digitally signs all billing documents created for Portuguese sales organizations in Sales and Distribution (SD) and passed on to Financial Accounting (FI). In this Customizing activity, you indicate which number range intervals that are used for billing document types need digital signatures and when the digital signature process should begin. The system then ensures that billing documents within these number range intervals 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 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 number range intervals for your billing documents in the Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Billing -> Billing Documents -> Define Number Range for Billing Documents.
You have ensured sequential numbering for Portuguese company codes by implementing the user exit described in SAP Note 595327.
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 billing document types created in SD. You mark the number range intervals that are relevant for digital signatures, that is, the documents that are numbered within this number range interval must be signed digitally. You assign a leading document type and a series to each number range interval and indicate the company code for which the interval is used. You enter a starting date and time to activate the digital signature generation. Only documents numbered after the starting date/time are digitally signed.
For more information about these entries, see the F1-Help for these fields.
When you start billing, the system generates digital signatures automatically for the documents created within the number range intervals that you have marked here.
Whenever you add a new number range interval in SD to be used for billing in a Portuguese company code, you record it here and indicate whether it is relevant for digital signatures.
