Generating Electronic Invoices for Import Bills for Brazil

Note:

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

In Brazil, you must register the purchase of goods from international vendors by generating and certifying electronic invoices.

Whether you create a standalone import bill or create it from a purchase order, you must generate and certify its electronic invoice for goods.

If an error occurs during the e-document generation, review the E-Document Audit Trail subtab and the execution logs for the E-Document Generation Service SU script (Script ID: customscript_ei_generation_service_su). For more information about script logs, see Viewing a List of Script Execution Logs.

To generate an electronic invoice for an import bill:

  1. Go to Transactions > Purchases > Import Bill.

  2. Next to the import bill for which you want to generate the electronic invoice, click View.
