Philippines Inclusive Serial Number
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) requires the use of a range of serial numbers issued by Philippines businesses for computer-generated receipts and invoices. The range of serial numbers, with a minimum of six (6) running digits, must be prominently printed on system-generated receipts or invoices.
For NetSuite OneWorld accounts, you can specify the series range depending on the subsidiary or location that engages with your customers. You can set up BIR-registered serial numbers in the subsidiary or location record authorized to issue invoices, receipts or credit memo from your company.
If you set up a serial number on a location record, ensure that the location is specified in transactions that should include those numbers. If no location is selected, the system references the serial number on the subsidiary of that transaction, if a range is specified on that subsidiary's record.
As of Southeast Asia Localization SuiteApp version 4.00.0, you can no longer update Philippines serial number-related fields using CSV import.
