Nota Fiscal Printing Configuration 

The nota fiscal Customizing activities offer several settings for you to flexibly configure and print notas fiscaís.

Nota Fiscal Number

Typically you configure the system to automatically assign a nota fiscal number when you print a nota fiscal, by means of internal number ranges. But note that it is also possible to specify external number assignment for a number range (by setting the Ext indicator in number range maintenance), which then enables you to manually enter the nota fiscal number in the Nota Fiscal Writer – either for a manually created nota fiscal or for one generated automatically by an application. In this case, the NF no. field is open for entry; if the Ext indicator is not set, the field is not open.

Numbering and Printing Parameters

In the activity Assign Numbering and Printing Parameters, you can define printing parameters by company code, business place, and nota fiscal form. For each combination of these three key fields, you can enter a number range group, number range number, series and subseries, output device, number of text lines allowed in the header message, number of line items allowed, and whether the nota fiscal is a fatura.

Although you can assign a printer directly in this activity, you must still create a condition record for the printer (under Output ® Condition Records ® Create).

In addition, you can define the parameters by a fourth key field - called the dynamic key – if the existing three key fields do not meet your company’s requirements for printing notas fiscaís.

Assume, for example, that one of your company’s business places has two shipping points, and you need to print the same form from these two shipping points, using two different printers and different number ranges, series, and subseries. In this case, you can specify shipping point as the dynamic key, and under the Key-Specific Printing Parameters, assign a printer directly to the shipping point.

Since you are able to assign more than one printer to a single nota fiscal form, in turn this enables you to assign more than one nota fiscal form to the same nota fiscal type.

If these four fields are still not sufficient for your printing requirements, you can create a Business Add-In implementation – under Output ® BAdI: Numbering and Printing Parameters – to send whatever printing parameters you need back to the print program.
