Generating CNAB 240 Delivery Files

Note:

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

The Brazil Localization SuiteApp enables you to generate delivery files with the 240 standard to make payments to vendors or employees.

You can generate delivery files with the 240 standard to include payments for the following types of transaction:

• Custom purchase transactions for which you enabled CNAB payments

  For more information, see Enabling Payments for Brazil in Custom Transactions.

• Expense report

• Vendor bill

• Vendor prepayment

  Important:

  If your transaction requires approval, ensure it is approved before trying to include the transaction or its installments in the CNAB delivery file. Brazil Localization does not allow you to include transactions that have been rejected, are pending approval, or have payments on hold.

  For more information, see Accounting Approval of Expense Reports and Approval Routing.

The SuiteApp provides predefined layouts for the 240 standard from the following banks:

• Banco Bradesco

• Banco do Brasil

  Pix payments are currently not supported for this bank.

• Banco Itaú

• Banco Santander

To generate a CNAB delivery file with the 240 standard:

1. Go to Transactions > Bank > CNAB Delivery Files > New.

2. In the Standard field, choose CNAB 240.

3. In the Subsidiary field, select one or multiple subsidiaries for which you want to make payments.

4. (Optional) To filter transactions associated with specific bank account details, in the Banking Information field, select one or multiple banking information records.

   Banking information records contain details about your company's bank account and other preferences related to CNAB files.

5. In the Period field, select the start and end due date of the transactions and installments to determine the period for the search.

6. If you want to define a specific payment date, in the Scheduled Date of Payment field, select the date in which you will pay the transaction or installment.

   NetSuite applies this payment date to all transactions and installments in the CNAB file you are generating. If the payment date is past due and if you defined fine and interest rates for late payments, NetSuite automatically calculates the fine and interest amounts.

   If you do not select a payment date, the system sets each transaction's and installment's due date as the payment date.

7. (Optional) To search transactions from a specific entity, in the Entity field, select an employee or a vendor.

8. Click Search.

9. If you include transactions or installments from multiple subsidiaries, under Payment Information, do the following:

   1. In the Subsidiary for Payment field, select the subsidiary responsible for the payment of the selected transactions and installments.

   2. In the Banking Information for Payment field, select the banking information record with which you want to pay for the selected transactions and installments.

   To make payments for multiple subsidiaries, ensure you have set up bank GL subaccounts in the banking information record you selected for payment. For more information, see Creating Banking Information Records for Brazil.

10. Check the box next to each transaction or installment to include it in the delivery file.

    Tip:

    To select all the transactions and installments listed on a page, check the box on the table header.

11. If you want to add or edit fine and interest amounts for late payments, do the following:

    1. Find the transaction or installment for which you want to add or edit the fine and interest amounts.

    2. If you defined fine and interest rates for late payments, in the Payment Date column, select a different payment date.

       NetSuite recalculates the fine and interest amounts for the overdue installment.

    3. If you did not define fine and interest rates for late payments:

       • In the Fine column, enter a fine amount.

       • In the Interest column, enter an interest amount.

    4. Click OK.

    You cannot add or edit fine and interest amounts for expense reports, vendor prepayments, and custom transactions enabled for CNAB.

12. Click Generate File.

    The CNAB Delivery File page opens. You can check the progress of the file generation process on this page.

13. Refresh the page to update the Status field.

    Continue refreshing the page until the status is one of the following:

    • Delivery File Generated

    • Delivery File Generation Failed

14. If the status is Delivery File Generated, in the File field, click Download.

15. To view details about the processing of the return file, click the Processing Logs subtab.

    NetSuite lists errors or warnings caught during the generation of the delivery file. Review the logs if the status is Delivery File Generation Failed. You should address the errors before trying to generate the file again. For more information about troubleshooting the processing logs, see Troubleshooting CNAB Files Processing.
