Processing of Boleto Barcodes Use The system automatically fills the boleto barcode in the appropriate fields of outgoing DME files – for the Bradesco, Febraban, and Itaú file layouts. The boleto amount is the last part of the barcode. For details, refer to SAP Note 784748.

Integration In Accounts Receivable (FI-AR), the system enables you to print and send boletos to your customers. If you are to withhold tax, the system prints the customer line item amount minus the withholding tax amount.

In Accounts Payable (FI-AP), you receive boletos from your vendors and need to capture the barcode number in the system and later include it in a DME fi le.

Once you create a vendor invoice that corresponds to a boleto you receive, call Transaction FB02 and select the invoice. Double-click the relevant vendor line and enter the barcode number – either manually or using a barcode reader – in the field next to the Bank refer. field (in field BRCDE, Numeric Bar Code on Payment Form). The system automatically stores the barcode number in database table BSEG as follows:

1. Digits 1-11 in the field POR number (ESRNR)

2. Digits 12-38 in the field POR ref.no. (ESRPZ)

The barcode number – including the amount – can contain between 44 and 47 digits. Since the two database fields mentioned above only contain 38 digits combined, the system compresses the number via a conversion method. When the barcode number is retrieved from the database – to display or change the invoice, or to include it in a DME file – the system converts it back to its original number.

To activate this conversion in your system, you must implement the Business Add-In BOLETO_BARCODE, which you find in Customizing for Financial Accounting, under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable → Business Transactions → Outgoing Payments → Automatic Outgoing Payments → Payment Media → Country-Specific Settings for Payment Media → Brazil → BAdI: Conversion and Validation of Barcode Numbers in Brazilian Boletos. Note that an implementation is delivered (but not activated), BOLETO_BARCODE_BR, which converts the barcode number using a number system with base 32.
