8 NF-e

The NF-e issuer generates an electronic file with all NF information in a more detailed level than the regular NF. This file must be digitally signed to guarantee the integrity of the data and the authorship of the issuer. This electronic file is transmitted by the internet to the Secretaria da Fazenda - Brazilian Tax Authority (SEFAZ) in the origin state of the issuer. The SEFAZ provides a pre-validation of the file and returns a receiving protocol (Authorization for Use), necessary for the movement of merchandise.

The ORFM application allows the generation of NF-e by location and utilization code. A new system option is used to identify the location that issues the NF-e. NF-e is applicable only for transactions such as transfers, intercompany transfers, and RTVs.

This chapter covers the following sections:

Cancelling NF-e

NF-e Processing

To enable NF-e processing, the utilization and document type setup must be done with the proper NF Model Type. If a configured utilization is used in the creation of a NF, it will trigger NF-e integration.

NF-e is applicable for all transactions where the NF is issued from ORFM. This includes Direct Import NF, Return NF, RTV, Transfers, Stock, Customer NF, Direct NF, and Free Form NF where ORFM generates the NF.

The flow is the same as the one defined for the transfers, intercompany transfers, and RTVs.

The change in process is as follows:

Create an outbound NF.
The document type will be filled with the type associated to the utilization ID for the transaction. If the doc type has a model type set as NF-e (55 or 65) NF-e integration will be called for this transaction.
Once the NF-e is validated, the status of the NF-e changes to NF-e Pending. With the fiscal document in that status, the related information is sent to the fiscal partner solution. The fiscal partner solution captures the data, generates the NF-e file, and submits it for approval in the Government systems.
