Brasile¶
Introduzione¶
With the Brazilian localization, sales taxes can be automatically computed and electronic invoices for goods (NF-e) and services (NFS-e) can be sent using AvaTax (Avalara) through API calls. Moreover, taxes for services can be configured.
For the goods and services tax computation and electronic invoicing process, you need to configure the contacts, company, products, and create an account in AvaTax which needs to be configured in the general settings.
For the services taxes, you can create and configure them from Odoo directly without computing them with AvaTax.
The localization also includes taxes and a chart of accounts template that can be modified if needed.

.Configure AvaTax integration¶
Avalara AvaTax is a tax calculation and electronic invoicing provider that can be integrated in Odoo to automatically compute taxes by taking into account the company, contact (customer), product, and transaction information to retrieve the correct tax to be used and process the e-invoice afterward with the government.
Using this integration requires In-App-Purchases (IAPs) to compute the taxes and to send the electronic invoices. Whenever you compute taxes, send an electronic document (NF-e, NFS-e, etc), or perform any electronic flow (NF-e Cancellation, Correction letter, Invalidate invoice number range), an API call is made using credits from your IAP credits balance.
Nota
Odoo is a certified partner of Avalara Brazil.
You can buy IAP credit on odoo.com.
Credential configuration¶
To activate AvaTax in Odoo, you need to create an account. To do so, go to AvaTax Brazil section, add the administration email address to be used for the AvaTax portal in the AvaTax Portal Email, and then click on Create account.
, and in theAvvertimento
When testing or creating a production AvaTax Portal Email integration in a sandbox or production database, use a real email address, as it is needed to log in to the Avalara Portal and set up the certificates, whether you want to test or use it on production.
There are two different Avalara Portals, one for testing and one for production:
Production: https://portal.avalarabrasil.com.br/
When you create the account from Odoo, be sure to select the right environment. Moreover, the email used to open the account cannot be used to open another account. Save your API ID and API Key when you create the account from Odoo.
After you create the account from Odoo, you need to go to the Avalara Portal to set up your password:
Access the Avalara portal.
Click on Meu primeiro acesso.
Add the email address you used in Odoo to create the Avalara/AvaTax account, and then click Solicitar Senha.
You will receive an email with a token and a link to create your password. Click on this link and copy-paste the token to allocate your desired password.
Suggerimento
You can start using AvaTax in Odoo for tax computation only without creating a password and accessing the Avalara portal in the Odoo database. However, in order to use the electronic invoice service, you must access the AvaTax portal and upload your certificate there.
Nota
You can transfer API credentials. Use this only when you have already created an account in another Odoo instance and wish to reuse it.
A1 certificate upload¶
In order to issue electronic invoices, a certificate needs to be uploaded to the AvaTax portal.
The certificate will be synchronized with Odoo, as long as the external identifier number in the AvaTax portal matches - without special characters - with the CNPJ number, and the identification number (CNPJ) in Odoo matches with the CNPJ in AvaTax.
Importante
To issue NFS-e, some cities require that you link the certificate within the City Portal system before issuing NFS-e from Odoo.
If you receive an error message from the city that says Your certificate is not linked to the user, that means this process needs to be done in the city portal.
Configure master data¶
Piano dei conti¶
The chart of accounts is installed by default as part of the data set included in the localization module. The accounts are mapped automatically in their corresponding taxes, and the default account payable and account receivable fields.
Nota
The chart of accounts for Brazil is based on the SPED CoA, which gives a baseline of the accounts needed in Brazil.
You can add or delete accounts according to the company’s needs.
Registri¶
In Brazil, a series number is linked to a sequence number range for electronic invoices. The series number can be configured in Odoo on a sales journal from the Series field. If more than one series is needed, then a new sales journal will need to be created and a new series number assigned to it for each series needed.
The Use Documents field needs to be selected. When issuing electronic and non-electronic invoices, the Type field selects the document type used when creating the invoice. The Type field will only be displayed if the Use Documents field is selected on the journal.
Nota
When creating the journal, ensure the field Dedicated Credit Note Sequence is unchecked, as in Brazil, sequences between invoices, credit notes, and debit notes are shared per series number, which means per journal.
Imposte¶
Taxes are automatically created when installing the Brazilian localization. Taxes are already configured, and some of them are used by Avalara when computing taxes on the sales order or invoice.
Taxes can be edited, or more taxes can be added. For example, some taxes used for services need to be manually added and configured, as the rate may differ depending on the city where you are offering the service.
Importante
If you decide to do service taxes manually, you won’t be able to issue an NFS-e. To electronically send an NFS-e, you need to compute taxes using Avalara.
Avvertimento
Do not delete taxes, as they are used for the AvaTax tax computation. If deleted, Odoo creates them again when used in an SO or invoice and computing taxes with AvaTax, but the account used to register the tax needs to be re-configured in the tax’s Definition tab, under the Distribution for invoices and Distribution for refunds sections.

Electronic documents¶
Customer invoices¶
To process an electronic invoice for goods (NF-e) or services (NFS-e), the invoice needs to be confirmed and taxes need to be computed by Avalara. Once that step is done, click on the Send & Print button in the upper left corner. In the pop-up that appears, click on Process e-invoice and any of the other options - Download or Email. Finally, click on Send & Print to process the invoice with the government.
Before sending the electronic invoice for goods (NF-e) or services (NFS-e), some fields need to be filled out on the invoice:
Customer, with all the customer information
Payment Method: Brazil: how the invoice is planned to be paid
Fiscal Position set as the Automatic Tax Mapping (Avalara Brazil)
Document Type set as (55) Electronic Invoice (NF-e) or (SE) Electronic Service Invoice (NFS-e)
There are some other optional fields that depend on the nature of the transaction. These fields are not required, so no errors will appear from the government if these optional fields are not populated for most cases:
Freight Model determines how the goods are planned to be transported - domestic
Transporter Brazil determines who is doing the transportation
Nota
All of the fields available on the invoice used to issue an electronic invoice are also available on the sales order, if needed. When creating the first invoice, the field Document Number is displayed, allocated as the first number to be used sequentially for subsequent invoices.
Credit notes¶
If a sales return needs to be registered, then a credit note can be created in Odoo to be sent to the government for validation.
Nota
Credit notes are only available for electronic invoices for goods (NF-e).

Note di debito¶
If additional information needs to be included, or values need to be corrected that were not accurately provided in the original invoice, a debit note can be issued.

Invoice cancellation¶
It is possible to cancel an electronic invoice that was validated by the government.
