National Register of Legal Entities (CNPJ)

CNPJ is an identification number issued to companies in Brazil by the Federal Revenue Bureau.

Each company branch operating in a different address requires a distinct CNPJ number. The CNPJ of the fiscal document issuer must be disclosed to the tax authorities, and is also required for bank collection and payment processing.

You can use the Manage Legal Entity Registrations and Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations tasks to define the CNPJ associated with the first party. Customers, suppliers, and other third parties can use the Manage Tax Registrations for Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles tasks to define their CNPJ numbers. This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.
