SAP Document and Reporting Compliance: Manifesto Eletrônico de Documentos Fiscais (MDF-e)

Hi everyone,

I’m Juliana, it’s nice to meet you!

I’m the User Assistance Developer responsible for the SAP Document and Reporting Compliance, outbound invoicing option for Brazil. In this blog post, I have good news to share with you: we have released a new feature that enables you to send MDF-e (Manifesto Eletrônico de Documentos Fiscais) to the cloud!

The MDF-e is an electronic fiscal document that enables you to communicate with the Brazilian tax authorities. You can use it to register and track the transportation of goods, as well as identify the transporter responsible. The MDF-e also allows you to register additional information related to transport, so you can tailor this solution to best meet your needs.

There are a few steps you must take to send MDF-e electronic fiscal documents, but don’t worry, I’ll take you through them now.

Firstly, it’s important to note that SAP does not support the value 58 in the backend system. Therefore, you should handle this as a custom development. To do this, configure the MDF-e value appends in the J_1BMODEL domain, and you can find more information on this process here: https://help.sap.com/docs/SLH_NFe/71b3b178e5cb4a50a88cf2985a14f17c/46eeb62a6ae246159db04228b8fd16f1.html?version=Cloud

Secondly, you must fulfil the requirements to enable your system to send MDF-e, since the SAP system does not create, edit, or control the status of the MDF-e electronic fiscal documents. For a step-by-step guide on MDF-e procedure specifics, refer to this SAP Help Portal documentation: https://help.sap.com/docs/SLH_NFe/71b3b178e5cb4a50a88cf2985a14f17c/d08c026cc2b949f69a290a11e1112129.html?version=Cloud

Once you’ve completed these steps you have done it: you can now send your MDF-e electronic fiscal documents to the Brazilian tax authorities!!!
