Central Contingency Processing
You can activate central contingency if you need to print and send electronic fiscal documents (such as NF-e or CT-e) without waiting for authorization from the tax authorities.
After you activate contingency for your entire business place or region, all electronic fiscal documents are processed in contingency mode – both those generated automatically by the system from the corresponding application and those you create manually in the Nota Fiscal Writer.
The system checks and considers the contingency settings at the moment that a document is numbered. For more information about the numbering of documents, see Customizing for Numbering and Sending of NF-e to the Messaging System.
The system allows you to activate central contingency processing if you have the appropriate authorization; there is no check for the reason of the activation.
