# Force a failure with Stop and Error in Duaer

In Duaer, Stop and Error stops the execution and records an error. Later nodes do not run. Use it when an error digital organization should start.
## Place it after a condition

1. After the false output of If, or after any step that must fail, add Stop and Error.
2. Set Error Type to Error Message and write the reason in Error Message.
3. Or choose Error Object and paste a JSON object.
4. Select Execute step, or run the whole digital organization. The execution status is Error, and later nodes do not continue.

On a failed production run, if you set an error digital organization, Error Trigger receives that failure. Refer to [Handle errors gracefully in Duaer](/flow-logic/error-handling.md).

On Error on a node (stop, continue, or the error output) only covers that node failing. Stop and Error is when you choose to fail the run yourself.
## Questions

### Does Stop and Error on a Duaer canvas test start the error digital organization?

No. A failed manual test does not start Error Trigger. Only a failed production execution does.
