Setting Up Predefined Expense Categories for Brazil

Note:

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

The Brazil Localization SuiteApp provides the following predefined expense categories, which you can add to your purchase transactions:

AFRMM fee – The Adicional ao Frete para Renovação da Marinha Mercante (AFRMM) fee applies to imports whose international transportation method is by sea.
Freight – The expense with the freight of goods in and for Brazil.
Insurance – The expense with insurance of goods purchased in Brazil or from abroad.
Other costs – Expenses related to the purchase of goods in Brazil or from abroad to which other expense categories do not apply.
SISCOMEX fee – The Sistema Integrado de Comércio Exterior (SISCOMEX) usage fee applies to imports, to cover for maintenance and upgrade costs for the SISCOMEX system.

Before you include any of these expenses in your transactions, you must define the expense account and the subsidiaries for each expense category. By default, NetSuite selects the first expense account on your chart of accounts and all the subsidiaries associated with the account. You can select a different account and subsidiaries to meet your business requirements.

To set up a predefined expense category:

Go to Setup > Accounting > Expense Categories.
Next to the expense category you want, click Edit.
In the Expense Account field, select the GL account to which to post items charged to this category.
In the Subsidiary field, select the subsidiaries based in Brazil.
Click Save.
