In future blogs, we will be discussing the impact to the current processes; however, these are the key items your teams should be aware of concerning the timing and breadth of the changes.

  • The new version is denoted as version 3.1
  • This is denoted by the SEFAZ as the largest change since version 2.0 in 2010
  • The SEFAZ has described both NF-e (Business 2 Business invoices) and NFC-e (Business to Consumer Invoices to replace ECF printers) in this version
  • Changes to how the web services work are defined with the SEFAZ
  • There are new mandated fields in the XML that will require augmentation to the ERP system
  • There are new contingency processes for NF-e in Sao Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul, and there is a new contingency process for NFC-e

Important Timing: All companies will need to be live with the newer 3.1 version by the end of 2014.
