Function documentationCustomizing Numbering and Sending Documents to the Messaging System

 

When you create electronic fiscal documents such as NF-e or CT-e, you need to number and send them to be authorized by the tax authorities.

You can choose among four different ways of numbering and sending the electronic fiscal document to the messaging system:

  • You create an electronic fiscal document, and the numbering and sending is done automatically in processes in Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD) and stand-alone creation using the Nota Fiscal Writer.

    Caution Caution

    SAP does not recommend this method of numbering and sending, because it can lead to inconsistencies of the status of the electronic fiscal document, between the back-end system, the messaging system and the tax authorities’ database.

    End of the caution.

  • You number and send the document manually in the NF-e/CT-e Monitor, by selecting the Set Number button.

  • You number the document manually in the NF-e/CT-e Monitor, by selecting the Set number menu. The document is then sent automatically in the batch process.

  • You schedule a periodic execution of the Send Fiscal Documents in Batch to the Messaging System (J_BNFECALLRFC) report, and the numbering and sending of the documents are done automatically.

Activities

  1. In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, choose Start of the navigation path General Application Functions Next navigation step Nota fiscal Next navigation step Output Next navigation step Assign Numbering and Printing Parameters End of the navigation path.

  2. Select one of the entries in the General Printing Parameters list or create a new one.

  3. In the Key-Specific Printing Parameters view, define the numbering and sending option in the RFC Exec. field.

    Note Note

    Only relevant for NF-e: For SCAN forms, you cannot select 2 - Numbering in Monitor Report - RFC via batch report for this field. This value is not allowed, because the scheduling of the batch run may cause the NF-e to be sent at a time when the SEFAZ or SCAN server, respectively, is no longer active.

    End of the note.

  4. If you use the batch process to send the documents to the messaging system, define the periodic execution of the report (See Background Processing System: Overview).
