# sfg_clave_centralizado_required (/en/docs/errores/sfg_clave_centralizado_required)

The Sistema de Facturación Gratuito clave is not in the vault, so nothing can be emitted.

## What to do [#what-to-do]

Portal MIPYME asks for it again at the irreversible step of every emission — the certificate is not a substitute. `POST /v1/empresas/\{id\}/sfg_credential` stores it; `DELETE` removes it.

## The envelope [#the-envelope]

```json
{
  "error": {
    "type": "unprocessable_error",
    "code": "sfg_clave_centralizado_required",
    "message": "…",
    "hint": "Portal MIPYME asks for it again at the irreversible step of every emission — the certificate is not a substitute. `POST /v1/empresas/{id}/sfg_credential` stores it; `DELETE` removes it.",
    "retriable": false,
    "doc_url": "https://docs.facturia.cl/errors/sfg_clave_centralizado_required",
    "request_id": "req_01K2R7Q9M4T2VB"
  }
}
```

Program against `code`, never against `message` — the prose can be rewritten, the code cannot (§5.8).

`hint` and `retriable` arrive in the response with these exact values: they are a function of `code` and come from the same dictionary `GET /v1/error_codes` serves, so the envelope and the dictionary cannot disagree. Both are English on the wire by design — one registry, one language. More in [The error envelope](/en/docs/errores).
