Procedure documentationActivating Contingency Processing for Business Places

 

You can activate central contingency if you need to print and send electronic fiscal documents without waiting for authorization from the tax authorities. It is possible to activate contingency processing for a business place so that all electronic fiscal documents issued for processes within that business place are processed under contingency.

Procedure

  1. On the output screen of the Monitor (J1BNFE transaction), choose Start of the navigation path Contingency Next navigation step Security Paper Next navigation step Business Place End of the navigation path.

  2. In the Contingency for Business Places Customizing view, enter BR as the country. Select the company code and relevant business place.

  3. Enter the model of the electronic fiscal document:

    • (blank): Settings are valid for all possible models of electronic fiscal documents issued from this business place

    • 55: Settings are valid for NF-e only

    • 57: Settings are valid for CT-e only

  4. Select one of the following check boxes and, if needed, make the follow-on settings:

    • Select MS Down (Contingency (Manual/Messaging System Down)) if there is a problem with the communication between your SAP ERP system and your messaging system.

      You can set this indicator manually at any time. If you want your SAP ERP system to set the MS Down indicator automatically when the connection to the messaging system is down, select Act. Cont. Aut. (Activate Contingency Automatically).

      The Deact. Cont. ( Deactivate Contingency Manually) indicator controls how processing is switched from contingency to normal processing when your messaging system is back up. If you want to manually control the switch back to normal processing, you select Deact. Cont.. If you want your SAP ERP system to automatically deactivate contingency as soon as the messaging system becomes available again, do not select Deact. Cont..

    • Select AS Down (Contingency (Authorities’ Server Down)) if you identify a problem with the tax authorities’ server

      Note that you have to manually deselect this indicator; your SAP ERP system cannot select or deselect this indicator automatically.

      It is possible to configure your messaging system to automatically react to the selection of the AS Down indicator in this Customizing view, that is, if AS Down is selected for this business place, your messaging system automatically activates contingency when the tax authorities’ system is down. For more information about these settings, (see Messaging-System Control).

  5. Enter the reason for posting under contingency.

  6. Make settings for other business places as needed and then save your settings.
