Setting Up Customers for Brazil

Note:

To access the Brazil Localization SuiteApp documentation in Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil), see Brazil Localization.

Brazil Localization adds specific fields to customer records to enable you to enter relevant information about the individuals and companies with which you do business.

Before setting up a customer for Brazil, ensure your role has the required permissions to edit customer records.

For more information about creating customers, see Creating a Customer Record.

Some Brazil-specific fields and subtabs don't appear until you save the customer records for the first time.

To set up a customer for Brazil:

Go to Lists > Relationships > Customers.
Click Edit next to the record you want.
Under Classification, do the following:
1. In the Federal Tax Registration field, enter the customer's federal tax registration number.
  - If the customer is a company, enter the Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Jurídicas (CNPJ) number. Use one of the following formats for the 14-digit number: 00000000000000 or 00.000.000/0000-00.
