Creating Bank Records for Brazil

Note:

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

Bank records contain information about Brazilian banks and settings required for using electronic bank payments with the Centro Nacional de Automação Bancária (CNAB) system.

When you install Brazil Localization, the SuiteApp creates a set of predefined bank records on your account. All the predefined bank records include information such as the bank's code in the national checks clearance system, known as Sistema de Compensação de Cheques e Outros Papéis (COMPE), and its identification code in the Sistema de Pagamentos Brasileiro (SPB).

A few predefined bank records include additional information, such as the template and plug-in required to generate bank slips, and the CNAB file layouts required to generate delivery files and process return files.

You can edit the predefined records or create new records for banks that are not included in the predefined set.

To create a bank record for Brazil:

Go to Setup > Brazil Localization > Bank > New.
In the Name field, enter the name of the bank.

The ISPB code is assigned by the Brazil Central Bank.
