Setting Up the AFRMM Expense Category for Brazil

Note:

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

The Adicional ao Frete para Renovação da Marinha Mercante (AFRMM) fee applies to imports whose international transportation method is by sea.

To enable you to add this fee to your import bills, Brazil Localization creates the AFRMM fee expense category.

Before you create import bill transactions for goods imported by sea, you must define an expense account and the subsidiaries for the AFRMM fee expense category. By default, NetSuite selects the first expense account on your chart of accounts and all the subsidiaries associated with the account. You can select a different account and subsidiaries to meet your business requirements.

To set up the AFRMM expense category:

1. Go to Setup > Accounting > Expense Categories.

2. Click Edit next to the AFRMM Fee expense category.

3. In the Expense Account field, select the GL account to which to post items charged to this category.

4. In the Subsidiary field, select the subsidiaries based in Brazil.

5. Click Save.
