To comply with the new legal regulations regarding the Electronic Accounting Statements in Mexico, among other changes new Journal Entry report (JE report further) has to be submitted on monthly period effective from January 2015. It includes obligation to report via JE report also documents created within transition period July - December 2014, retrospectively including new information about electronic number UUID.
The UUID information is a 36 characters unique electronic number (CFDI and CFD) available in generated XML which represents electronic invoice in Mexico and it is provided by the SAT authority. UUID information is currently not available for created Purchasing documents (AP side) in SAP Business One application, Sales documents (AR side) already contains this information. All Purchasing invoice type documents created in transition period due to this legal change therefore must contain UUID information in order to be reported via new JE report.
In order to automate process of importing UUID information for existing Purchasing documents from XML into SAP Business One application Tool was developed and is available via link below. Purpose of the Tool is to track and identify appropriate document existing in DB, based on specific parameters and create bridge/reference between XML and document that enables to transfer UUID information from XML into a document, in a batch run. In order to transfer UUID information recommended is to create new UDF for Purchasing documents where this information will be stored.
