2 Overview of SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica

2.1 Introduction to SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica

SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica supports companies that have to comply with the

requirements defined by the regional Brazilian authorities on electronic invoicing. The invoicing is

based on the nota fiscal processes in a logistics system, for example SAP ERP. SAP BusinessObjects Nota

Fiscal Eletrônica provides integration between a company and the government systems. The business

processes are defined by the authorities including the following two communication processes:

Outgoing

■ Sending a Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (NF-e) or a Conhecimento de Transporte Eletrônico (CT-e)

You can send NF-es/CT-es to the government system in accordance with the requirements

regarding file size and format.

■ Cancellation of NF-es/CT-es

If a billing document in the logistics process needs to be canceled, this cancellation must be passed

on to the authorities using a cancellation request.

■ Skipping of NF-es/CT-es

For rejected NF-es/CT-es, you must request the numeration skipping for the these invoices.

Incoming

■ You can use SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica to electronically connect to your business

partners for the NF-e/CT-e exchange in business-to-business (B2B) scenarios. With SAP

BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica, it is possible to receive NF-es/CT-es from your business

partner. It is also possible to automate the incoming process: from receipt of the electronic

documents, signature validation and authorization check to the creation of the invoice in the SAP

ERP back end system. This new function is provided through two new workplaces:

● Fiscal Workplace

● Logistics Workplace

Note that the connected ERP system must be an SAP ERP system for you to use the function. Refer

to SAP Note 1536142 for more information about SAP ERP prerequisites.

NOTE

By integrating to the relevant systems, SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica is a centralized

data store for the message exchange, regarding the communication with the authorities, and


2.1 Introduction to SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica

2012-03-13 PUBLIC 9/26


other companies' systems in the B2B scenarios. SAP NFE is the central platform for the legally

required storage of the exchanged files.

2.2 Software Units of SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica

To comply with all standards that the authorities define and still allow the highest possible flexibility

for your system landscape, the shipment of SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica includes the

following software units:

■ SAPBO SLL-NFE 10.0 - ABAP-based core application of SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica

The core application contains the main monitoring for the communication flow and related status

information for system administration purposes. In addition, it contains the Fiscal and Logistics

Workplace for the inbound processing of B2B documents.

■ The core application is based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP.

■ PI Content SLL-NFE 10.0 - Content for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI)

The content for SAP NetWeaver PI offers you all technology and messaging opportunities you

need to send NF-es to invoicing processes in a compliant manner. It comprises the protocol HTTPS

including a certificate of the government to use the SOAP protocol for the electronic

communication that is required by the authorities.

This content requires an existing or new installation of SAP NetWeaver PI.

You can only use SAP BusinessObjects Nota Fiscal Eletrônica if your backend system provides the data

of the notas fiscais that a company requires. SAP ERP fulfills this requirement if the information in SAP

Note 1693553, and 1536142 (only relevant for Incoming) has been applied.
