The document discusses the NFe, or Electronic Invoice, which will replace the current paper Nota Fiscal invoice in Brazil. The NFe is a digitally signed XML file that is authorized by the tax authorities (SEFAZ) to allow for the transit of goods. It follows a specific process where the data is generated in SAP, sent to a third party application to create the XML file, which is then validated by SEFAZ before being authorized. The Danfe document replaces the paper Nota Fiscal once the NFe is authorized. Contingency plans are also discussed for when the SEFAZ system is unavailable.
