Electronic Nota Fiscal (NF-e)
As of 2007, the Brazilian government introduced electronic notas fiscais (NF-e), which gradually replace the conventional, hard-copy notas fiscais. Before NF-e are printed and sent with goods, the state tax authority (SEFAZ) of the state of origin of the NF-e (or, in certain cases, the federal authority) must grant authorization.
To work with NF-e, you have made the settings described in the section Customizing for NF-e.
The system generates the required NF-e in processes that are subject to NF-e processing.
You monitor your NF-e – from its initial posting through its authorization by SEFAZ – using the NF-e Monitor, described in the following documentation.
