Transferring Inventory Between Subsidiaries in Brazil

Note:

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

In Brazil, you must record inventory transfers between subsidiaries on electronic invoices. The Brazil Localization SuiteApp enables you to do that by creating outbound and inbound delivery transactions from item fulfillment and item receipt transactions.

Before you transfer inventory items between companies in Brazil, ensure you meet the following prerequisites:

• Create a customer record with the information from the subsidiary that will receive the intercompany inventory transfer.

  Ensure the customer record has the same federal tax registration as the subsidiary record. NetSuite uses this customer record to create the outbound delivery transaction. For more information, see Setting Up Customers for Brazil.

• Create a vendor to identify the subsidiary that is sending the intercompany inventory transfer.

  Ensure the vendor record has the same federal tax registration as the subsidiary record. NetSuite uses this vendor record to create the outbound delivery transaction. For more information, see Setting Up Vendors for Brazil.

  Important:

  When you create the customer and vendor records, don't fill the Represents Subsidiary field. Brazil Localization doesn't support this option. The SuiteApp is able to identify a customer or vendor as representative of a subsidiary based on the number you enter in the Federal Tax Registration field.

To transfer inventory items between subsidiaries in Brazil:

1. Create an intercompany inventory transfer.

   For more information, see Intercompany Inventory Transfers - Non-Arm's Length.

   Note:

   When adding the items to be transferred, don't add the same item multiple times. Instead, if you're transferring multiple units of the same item, specify it in the Quantity column. The Brazil Localization SuiteApp doesn't support the addition of the same item on multiple lines.

2. Fulfill the intercompany inventory transfer.

   For more information, see Fulfilling Orders.

3. Create an outbound delivery from the item fulfillment.

   1. On the item fulfillment transaction, click Create Outbound Delivery.

   2. Generate the electronic invoice from the outbound delivery.

      For more information, see Generating Electronic Invoices for Outbound Deliveries for Brazil.

4. Receive the intercompany inventory transfer.

   For more information, see Receiving Orders.

5. On the item receipt transaction, click Create Inbound Delivery to create an inbound delivery.
