Setting Up Vendors for Brazil

Note:

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

Brazil Localization ads specific fields to vendor records to enable you to enter relevant information about the individuals and companies with which you do business.

Before setting up a vendor for Brazil, ensure your role has the required permissions to edit vendor records.

For more information about creating vendors, see Creating a Vendor Record.

Some Brazil-specific fields and subtabs don't appear until you save the vendor records for the first time.

To set up a vendor for Brazil:

  1. Go to Lists > Relationships > Vendors.

  2. Click Edit next to the record you want.

  3. If the vendor is a marketplace platform, do the following:

    1. Check the Intermediary Marketplace Platform box.

    2. In the Subsidiary ID in the Marketplace field, enter your subsidiary's username or profile identifier on their platform.

      The identifier can have up to 60 characters.

  4. Under Classification, in the Federal Tax Registration field, enter the vendor’s federal tax registration number.

    • If the vendor is a company, enter the Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Jurídicas (CNPJ) number. Use one of the following formats for the 14-digit number: 00000000000000 or 00.000.000/0000-00.
