As part of the Registrierkassensicherheitsverordnung (RKSV), all cash registers in Austria must be equipped with a so-called technical security device (TSE) from 01.04.2017. Our POS system Pickware POS therefore works together with the Cloud-SEE (signature creation unit) from fiskaly in order to meet these legal requirements. You can find more information on the RKSV here and here on our blog.
What do I need to do as a POS user?
A Pickware account is required to use the POS App. Before you can create a store in Austria, you must configure the RKSV in your account. To do this, you need your company master data as well as your login details for FinanzOnline. Once the configuration is complete, you can finish the app setup as usual. You can find a detailed guide here.
As soon as a store is located in Austria, it is reported to fiskaly and you will receive an email to set up your fiskaly account. With your account, you can log in to the fiskaly Dashboard to view your registered stores, cash registers, and completed transactions. Once your fiskaly account is set up, your generated receipts will be automatically certified.
How does certification with fiskaly work?
Recording starts as soon as the payment process is initiated at the register. Generated receipts are then automatically provided with a QR code and further information for the tax office. Only the payment method and the individual partial amounts per tax rate are recorded, but not information about the products sold.
What happens if fiskaly fails?
Should the fiskaly or FinanzOnline service ever fail, you will notice this from a notice on the receipts or at the top left of the POS App. You can start the subsequent recording via the notice message in the POS App. You can find more information on this here.
