Purpose

Subcontracting Process with two NF.
To successfully execute this process the flag 'GR.Based IV' must be checked in the tab 'Invoice' in the Purchase Order (PO). The movement '543' must not be in the view J_1BIV04V. The subcontracting process always use 'ICM3' and 'IPI3'. It's not possible to change this behavior since it's a legislation point. Any configuration done in this regard, trying to use 'IPI1' or 'ICM1' for example or even trying to configure other taxes will not take effect. You can see it in this Include: LJ1BFF05. What happens is that when you use movement type '541' the system loads a 'dummy' tax code that always will take 'IPI3' and 'ICM3' to the Nota Fiscal.
