The Chile Localization SuiteApp includes the following:

Chile Localization Custom Fields

The Chile Localization custom fields are available when Chile context is met.

To see the custom fields that are provided by the Chile Localization SuiteApp, go to Chile Context.

Chile Localization Custom Forms

The Chile Localization SuiteApp provides the following custom forms:

  • CL Customer Form

  • CL Employee Form

  • CL Vendor Form

  • CL Cash Refund

  • CL Cash Sale

  • CL Credit Memo

  • CL Invoice Form

  • CL Item Fulfillment

You can set these custom forms as the default forms for specific user roles. For more information, see .Defining Preferred Forms.

For detailed information about how to customize a transaction form, see Creating Custom Entry and Transaction Forms.

An advanced PDF template is delivered with the Chile Localization SuiteApp. To customize the layout of the template, go to Customizations > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates and search for Chile (transaction) PDF Template. For more information about the Advanced PDF/HTML Templates feature, see Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.

Important:

When customizing a Chile transaction form, select the Standard (transaction) PDF/HTML Template from the dropdown list. Do not select the Chile (transaction) PDF Template on this record. The Chile (transaction) PDF Template is used for Certification processes and therefore must be specified on the Electronic Invoicing Setup record only. For the Print Template, select Proveedor Tecnológico PDF Template.

You can send the generated e-documents (XML and PDF) to your customers. For more information, see Sending and Resending E-Documents.

Currency Exchange Rate Update

On the Chile Localization SuiteApp, the exchange rates automatic update is included from dollars to Chilean pesos in the NetSuite's Currency Exchange Rates standard register. It is a programmed type of script and, currently, it is automatically executed at 1 am, according to the time zone set on NetSuite's general preferences.

Through a script, the following exchange rates are retrieved from the Central Bank of Chile and this information is updated in NetSuite:

  • Chilean Peso to US Dollar

  • Chilean Peso to Unidad de Fomento

  • US Dollar to Chilean Peso

Activating Automatic Process of the Script

Follow the steps to activate the automatic running of the script:

To activate automatic script processing:

  1. Go to Customization > Script Creation > Script Deployments.

  2. In the script list, locate the one named CL | Exchange Rate Update, with ID customdeploy2, and open it in Edit mode.

  3. In the Status field, select Scheduled.

  4. On the Schedule tab, verify the following information:

    1. Check the Daily Event box.

    2. In the Repeat Every field, enter 1, so the process runs daily.

    3. In the Start Date field, enter the date from which the process should run.

    4. In the Start Time field, enter the time at which the process should run.

    5. Leave the Repeat field empty. The process should run only one time per day.

    6. If the process should stop running on a specific date, enter a date in the End Date field. If the process should run indefinitely, check the No End Date box.

  5. In the Parameters tab, the following fields contain default values:

    • URL

    • Import ID

    • USD Series

    However, if any of these data points - which are used for the query - change in the future, they must be updated accordingly. This information is defined by the Central Bank of Chile.

    Enter the Password and API User parameters using the client's credentials (username and password) to use the Central Bank's API. To request the credentials, go to Base de Datos Estadísticos (BDE).

    The password must be stored as an API Secret. After obtaining the API Secret ID, enter that value in the PASSWORD parameter. For more information about the API Secret, see Use API Secrets From API Secret Manager in Scripts.

  6. To complete the configuration, select Save.

Note:

As soon as operations involving US Dollars begin, transactions will be created using the exchange rate corresponding to the creation date. If, for any reason, the transaction date is changed, the exchange rate will not be updated, as it is assigned based on the original creation date.
