SAP Brazil Tax  E-mail
Brazil has an unique tax requirements and localization from the tax compliance stand point usually very complicated. You should do your homework in the selection and partner with SafSoft who has a wide implementation experience. In the case of corporate business, the ERP selection policy usually requires international ERP brand, SAP for Solutions. Let’s come to SAP Business One details and options: • Multi-language in one company. This feature allows your controller from the headquarter “surf” your overseas ERP through remote connection by simply switching Brazilian Portuguese to US. Whatever happens with your ERP support partner in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro or any unexpected accounting personnel turnover – you will be in control, because you will know how to use your English screens.
• Tax compliance. SAP Business One is localized for Brazilian tax code and the tax engine. In our opinion SAP used abstract approach, when it designed the solution, which is flexible and adaptable with multiple tax-challenging markets criteria in the design of the Brazilian solution.
• Integration. Virtually from any report screen you can export your transactions in scope and it could be done in Excel, tab delimited text, etc. Then SAP Business One has integration tool to mySAP/R/3 – in case if your company uses SAP in the Headquarters.
• Licensing. SAP Business One uses All-in-one license type, when you pay fixed price per named user (you can get CRM module only users at half of the regular all-in-one license prices)
• Database Platform. Microsoft SQL Server is reasonably priced plus if you have open license with Microsoft for your company – you may use this advantage.
• Microsoft Office. SAP Business One is tightly integrated with MS Office – it emails through MS Outlook client of local workstation, exports data to Excel, etc. Currently SAP has joint project with Microsoft – Mendocino – to integrate SAP R/3 with Microsoft Office platform. SAP Business One is probably ahead in its original integration technology.

• Brazilian version availability. It is available since February 2006.

• SAP Business One SDK. If you need custom tuning & programming, coming beyond the scope of user-friendly interface modification & customization – you should look for SsfSoft SAP Business One SDK customization partnership to program SAP Business One SDK.
• Competition. Localized: Portuguese translated and tax tune ERP versions have also Microsoft: Microsoft Navision/Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Axapta/Dynamics AX (since April 2006) (please be sure that Microsoft Solomon/Dynamics SL and Microsoft Great Plains/Dynamics GP are not supported by Microsoft Business Solutions in Brazil), Oracle Financials/Applications/E-Business Suite, SAP mySAP and SAP all-in-one.
• ERP Implementation Partner selection. This is the question of how comfortable you feel yourself on the local or regional IT consulting market. Typical is the case when ERP implementation company from the Headquarters side subcontracts local ERP implementer in Brazil – or you can do the same – simply by selecting mid-size or small international ERP consulting firm, specializing in international business and present in USA/Europe and Brazil at the same time. In this case, SafSoft is your right partner to you have the service done.
