Canceling Electronic Invoices for Goods for Brazil (Brazilian Hub SuiteApp)

In general, you can cancel an electronic invoice for goods (NF-e) in Brazil up to 24 hours after its certification by the tax authority. However, you should verify the deadline set by the Secretaria de Estado da Fazenda (SEFAZ) of the state where the subsidiary is located before you proceed with the operation.

Canceling Electronic Invoices for Goods on Invoices and Returns

If you want to cancel an electronic invoice for goods (NF-e) generated from an invoice or return authorization, follow this procedure:

To cancel an NF-e on invoices or return authorizations:

  1. Find the transaction that generated the NF-e you want to cancel.

    • For invoices, go to Transactions > Sales > Create Invoices > List.

    • For return authorizations from customers, go to Transactions > Customers > Issue Return Authorizations > List.

    • For return authorizations from vendors, go to Transactions > Purchases > Enter Vendor Return Authorizations > List.

  2. Click View to open it in view mode.

    To cancel the electronic invoice, the transaction must meet the following requirements:

    • Under Classification, in the Localidade field, the location of the subsidiary must have been selected.

    • On the Items subtab, the listed items must display the confirmation icon in the Inventory Detail column. NetSuite requires it to generate the credit memo.

      This applies to transactions with inventory impact.

    • On the E-Document subtab, in the E-Document Status field, the status must be Sent.

    • On the NF-e subtab, in the Status NF-e field, the status must be Emitida.

      The NF-e and e-document statuses ensure that the system successfully generated and certified the electronic invoice, so you can cancel it.

    • To cancel invoices, you must have created and associated the Código Fiscal de Operações e Prestações (CFOP) code 1.999 with all Mercosur Common Nomenclature (MCN) codes subject to cancellation.

    • To cancel return authorizations (from a customer or a vendor), you must have created and associated the CFOP code 5.999 with all Mercosur Common Nomenclature (MCN) codes subject to cancellation.
