Generating Statutory Reports for Brazil

Note:

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

With Brazil Reports, you can generate several statutory reports standardized by Sistema Público de Escrituração Digital (SPED). The SPED files you generate in NetSuite are ready for submission to the federal government.

To generate a statutory report for Brazil:

Go to Reports > Brazil Reports > SPED Files > New.
In the File Type field, select the type of SPED file you want to generate.
In the Subsidiary field, select the subsidiary for which you want to generate the file.
In the File Layout field, select the layout of the file you want to generate.
If you are generating an EFD Contribuições or EFD ICMS IPI file, in the Accountant field, select the contact of one or multiple accountants responsible for the information in the file.
In the Start Date field, select the start date of the period that the file covers.
In the End Date field, select the end date of the period that the file covers.
If you are generating an EFD ICMS IPI file and need to report an inventory of your stock, in the Reason for Inventory field, select the reason for reporting the inventory.
If you selected a reason for inventory, in the End Date for Inventory field, select the end date to inventory of your company's stock.
If you are generating ECD or ECF files, click the Signers subtab.
1. In the Signer column, select a signer for the file.
  
  This field displays contact records. For more information about setting up contacts for Brazil, see Setting Up Contacts for Brazil.
2. In the Signer Qualification column, select the qualification of the signer of the file, according with the SPED system.
3. If the signer qualification is 900 - Contador/Contabilista, in the Accountant License Number column, enter the accountant's Conselho Regional de Contabilidade (CRC) number.
4. If the signer qualification is 900 - Contador/Contabilista and you are generating an ECD file, do the following:
  1. In the Issuing State of the License column, select the state of the CRC that issued the accountant's license.
  2. In the Accountant Regularity Certificate column, enter the number of the accountant's professional regularity certificate.
    
    The professional regularity certificate attests the accountant's compliance with their CRC. Enter the number in the following format: State acronym/Year/Number. For example, AC/0000/00000000. The number has no length limit.
  3. In the Certificate Expiration Date column, enter the date on which the accountant's regularity certificate expires.
5. If you want to list the signer as the legal representative in the SPED file, check the Legal Representative box.
6. Click Add.
  
  Repeat the previous steps to add multiple signers.
Click Generate File.

NetSuite starts generating the SPED file. You can verify the progress in the Status field.
Refresh the page to update the Status field.
If the status is Completed, in the File field, click Download to transfer the file to your local device.
If the status is Failed, in the Generation Details field, review the error message.
