    • Is within its expiration date

    • Includes exportable private key

    For more information, see Digital Certificates Upload for Brazil (Brazilian Hub SuiteApp).

  • If you use multiple SuiteCloud Processors to send your e-documents for certification, review the Script Invoice (Script ID customdeploy _sit_invoice_ue) script deployment record.

    For more information, see the script deployment review guide. It is available in the Admin Documentation field of Brazilian Hub’s Bundle Details page. For more information about the Bundle Details page, see Bundle Details.

  • Before setting up the electronic bank payments feature provided by the SuiteApp, create a case with NetSuite Customer Support to request the CNAB segment fields' CSV files.

    Note:

    This applies only if you use one of the banks predefined by the Brazilian Hub SuiteApp.

  • When entering item descriptions on invoices that you send to the Barueri (SP) tax authority for certification, press Enter to insert line breaks. The SuiteApp automatically removes other forms of line breaks, such as pipes, <br />, and \n.
