Conai - CONAI Materials
In CONAI Materials enter the list of managed materials (the consortium manages steel, aluminum, paper, wood, plastic and glass)..png)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Purchase LIne Type | - Charge (Item): if you want the cost of the packaging to be charged to the item - G/L Account: if you want the CONAI amount to be charged to an account line - Resource: a specific resouce account will be used for the CONAI amount |
| Sales Line Type | - Charge (Item): if you want the cost of the packaging to be charged to the item - G/L Account: if you want the CONAI amount to be charged to an account line - Resource: a specific resource account will be used for the CONAI amount |
| Alternative Sales / Purchase G/L Code | If the Purchase / Sales Line Type is set as Charge (Item), the calculation engine often needs to handle special rounding operations for very small amounts when calculating charges. If necessary, you can then add a line for the small amount that remains, using the alternative purchase or sales account. |
Conai - Contributions
From CONAI Materials->Contributions, for each material the amount of the contribution must be specified period by period:

NOTE
It is important to keep the history of the price list, for the retroactivity of the calculations, adding lines in the case of updates on the prices of the material
The CONAI Environmental Contribution, established for each type of packaging material, represents the form of financing through which CONAI distributes the cost for higher charges for separate waste collection, recycling and recovery of packaging waste among manufacturers and users. These costs, based on the provisions set forth in Legislative Decree 152/06, are distributed “in proportion to the total quantity, weight and the type of packaging material issued on the national market.”

NOTE
Please note that the contribution diversification for plastic packaging came into force on January 1st 2018, the contribution diversification for paper packaging from January 1st 2019.Conai - Packagings
They represent the types of packaging, which differ from each other only in the composition of the materials, which are defined by clicking on CONAI Packaging-> Edit.

Identical packaging but, for example, of different color or appearance are comparable as long as the raw materials are in identical quantities.

N.B. The weight is defined as primary or secondary / tertiary. The former must be communicated separately from the latter.
- sales packaging or primary packaging : packaging designed so as to constitute a sales unit for the end user or consumer at the salling point;
- multiple packaging or secondary packaging : packaging designed in such a way as to constitute, at the point of sale, the grouping of a certain number of sales units, regardless of whether it is sold as such to the end user or to the consumer, or whether it serves only to facilitate the replenishment of shelves at the point of sale. It can be removed from the product without altering its characteristics;
- transport packaging or tertiary packaging : packaging designed to facilitate the handling and transport of goods, from raw materials to finished products, of a certain number of sales units or of multiple packaging to avoid their manipulation and damage related to transport, excluding containers for road, rail, sea and air transport.
Conai - CONAI Item Packagings
The CONAI packaging must be linked to the combination “Item / Variant / Unit of Measure” so as to be able to automatically suggest the weight in the sales and purchase invoices:

By clicking on the assist-edit of the Conai Package Code field it is possible to insert a ‘CONAI Package’ with the same article code.
On the CONAI Item Packaging page it is possible to choose if you want the packaging to be searched on the Production BOM or on the Assembly BOM (in the case, for example, of an item whose packaging is not in the CONAI packaging table, but is in the Production BOM or in the Assembly BOM of that item).
Conai - CONAI Exemptions
The exemptions are divided into sale and purchase exemptions. While those in the purchase are those that the company communicates to its vendors and therefore are a single percentage for each type of material, the ones for sale are different percentages for each customer and material. This percentage of exemption is also variable period per period:

Summarizing::
| Exemption Type | % | |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase | Own | fixed for each material |
| Sales | Customer | different for Customer and Material |

Conai - Setup CONAI
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 Item / 1 Package | If active, a package code is managed for each item; The package code coincides with that of the item to which it refers. |
| CONAI Lines Shipments Nos. | Numerator dedicated to the generation of posted sales shippings relating only to CONAI lines, in the event that the “Shipment on Invoice” flag is present on the Sales & Receivables Setup page. |
| CONAI Self Billed Customer | It is used to identify if the invoice is a Self-Invoice (by comparing it to the Bill-to Customer No.). For self-invoices, exemption is not considered. An example use case is free sampling. For this type of document, samples are sent using a sales order where Sell to is the customer and Bill to is the self-billing customer. If the samples are self-billed, the exemption should not apply. |
| CONAI Rounding per Kg | The field allows to activate the CONAI calculation by rounding the calculated weights to the KG. The activation, useful in particular for packaging producers, allows to avoid rounding problems when submitting data to CONAI, which requires transmission in tons and allows a fixed number of decimals. |
| CONAI Weight Exemption Calc. | The field allows to activate the calculation of the CONAI exemption based on weight. If the flag isn’t activated, the exemption percentage is set in the percentage discount in the CONAI charge line. If the flag is activated, the exemption percentage is applied to the weight and therefore to the quantity field of the CONAI charge line. |
| Exclude Expired BOM Lines | EExclude from Conai calculation the BOM Lines with a Starting/Ending Date not valid. |
| Enable Document Materials Filter | If enabled, only the conai materials of the document are shown in the CONAI detail. Enabling the field is useful to improve the app performance when there are many CONAI materials and invoices with many lines. |
| Enable Line Materials Filter | If enabled, for each document line in the Conai detail, only the materials belonging to the line will be shown, therefore excluding the materials that do not have a contribution amount. Enabling the field is useful to improve the app performance when there are many CONAI materials and invoices with many lines. |
| Enable Calculation on Base Unit of Measure | If enabled, the CONAI is calculated on the item base unit of measure. Otherwise the unit of measure of the document line will be used. |
| Enable Advanced Weights Management | If enabled, the CONAI charge line on the invoice is calculated according to the value “Conai Charge Type” and the conai ledger entries are posted according to the value “Conai Ledger Entries Type”, specified in the Purchase/Sale Setup. |
| VAT Bus. Posting Group Private Customers | Specifies the filter for private customers. For these customers the charge lines on the invoice will not be created, but the CONAI entries will be posted. |
| Enable Validity Dates on Packaging lines | If enabled, the CONAI packaging materials are filtered by validity starting and ending date according to the document posting date. |
| Exclude zero amount lines | If enabled during the generation of CONAI documents, excludes lines with zero amount. |
Weight Exemption Calc.
By disabling Weight Exemption Calc. in the CONAI setup, the calculation occurs by setting the exemption percentage on the line discount:
If the flag is activated, the exemption percentage is applied to the weight and therefore to the quantity field of the CONAI charge line.
