Setting Up MCN Codes (Former Brazil Localization SuiteApp)

In NetSuite, you assign MCN codes to CFOP codes. Then, you assign MCN codes to item records. When you add an item to a transaction, you select the appropriate CFOP code for the item.

Note:

Locking of MCN records applies only to records associated with CFOP records. MCN records that are selected on an item record, but have no associated CFOP records, are still editable.

Creating an MCN Code Record

By default, the Administrator can create MCN code records. However, administrators can grant custom roles access to the MCN record. See Granting Custom Roles Access to MCN and CFOP Records.

To create an MCN code record:

  1. Go to Setup > Brazil Localization > MCN Codes.

  2. Click New.

  3. Enter values in the following fields:

    • Mercosur Common Nomenclature – Enter an 8-digit number in one of the following formats: XXXX.XX.XX or or XXXXXXXX

      Note:

      If you entered a number without the dots, the system automatically formats it with dots when the record is saved.

    • Description – Enter text to provide information about the MCN code.

  4. Click Save.

Editing or Inactivating an MCN Code Record

An MCN code record can be inactivated if it is not yet assigned to a CFOP code.

If the MCN code is not assigned to any CFOP code, you can edit all the fields on the MCN code record. After an MCN code is assigned to a CFOP code, only the Description field of the MCN code record can be edited. To edit or inactivate the MCN record, you must first remove the MCN code from the CFOP record.

To edit or inactivate an MCN code record:

  1. Go to Setup > Brazil Localization > MCN Codes.

  2. To edit:

    1. Click the Edit link of the MCN code that you want to modify.

    2. Edit the fields.

  3. To inactivate the record, check the Inactive box.

  4. Click Save.

Deleting an MCN Code Record

You can delete an MCN record if it is not assigned to any CFOP code or item.

To delete an MCN code record:

  1. Go to Setup > Brazil Localization > MCN Codes.

  2. Click the Edit link of the MCN code that you want to delete.

  3. On the MCN Code page, under Actions, click Delete.

  4. At the prompt, to confirm the action, click OK.
