Outgoing Electronic Notas Fiscais

If your system is configured accordingly (mainly, the nota fiscal types are set as electronic), the system generates an electronic nota fiscal (NF-e) in processes in Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD) and stand-alone creation using the NF Writer as described in Nota Fiscal .

Before you can print and send the NF-e, you need to request and receive authorization from the tax authorities (see Requesting NF-e Authorization ).

The government allows for a special contingency processing in case you cannot wait for authorization and you must continue with your operations: you can switch an individual NF-e already posted under normal conditions to contingency, or activate central contingency processing for your entire region or business place.
