The Natures work as classifiers of financial operations payable or receivable, being the case that, in accounts payable situations, they offer control of the process without direct collaboration of accounting. They are also responsible for defining the tax withholdings calculation.
You must previously group the Natures in accordance with the operation (payable or receivable) with the aim of making it easier to filter data in queries and reports. In this register, controlling management data involves the following routines:
Thus, the Natures Register is important for management control and for automatic generation of bills. They can be classified as detailed or summarized.
You can use natures to classify the origin of revenues and expenses, grouping the transactions with common characteristics. For example:
Note
To make it easier to identify the natures in system queries and reports, you must define a mask that, in fact, is the format for presenting the nature identification codes. In this case, you can use parameter MV_MASCNAT to set the number of levels and characters that define the format of the code; that is, at each level you can classify the origin and destination of each financial transaction.
Examples:
If the parameter content is 242, the code is treated in three levels:
99.9999.99
To better organize natures, you can set revenues and expenses to start with different codes, simplifying their grouping and totalization in queries and quotations.
By creating categories, you can add subcategories, as there may be different sources of revenues and expenses. This possibility allows that, when querying bills payable or budgets, the balances be totalized by category and, at the end, be grouped from the main (parent) category.

Parameters MV_IRF, MV_ISS, MV_INSS and MV_FORINSS indicate the natures used when applying taxes in the deployment of bills payable and receivable. Default is IRF, ISS, INSS and INSS, respectively.

In this diagram, the data refer to the features of the routine:
In the main page of the routine, the following options are available:
Important
From version 12.1.27 onwards, the option Edit gains a new function: that of replicating the summarized nature of the Rural Producer Digital Cash Book (LCDPR) for detailed natures.
Procedure performed automatically in routine Nature (Fina010), without display of screens or the need for user interaction.
Used in customizations in which the process does not require user interaction (MSEXECAUTO)
The reports below use the structure for Detailed/Summarized nature.
