How does ready2order solve the cash register and signature requirement?
The cash register requirement means that all cash receipts must be recorded individually using an electronic cash register (electronic recording system). A cash register is an electronic recording system that is used to determine the amount or document individual cash receipts. Server-based recording systems, scales and taximeters with cash register functions can also serve as cash registers.
Every cash register must have a data recording protocol (German: Datenerfassungsprotokoll) (cash register journal). It can be connected to one or more input stations and, since April 1, 2017, must be able to access a signature creation unit (security device) that has a certificate assigned to the entrepreneur and trigger the creation of receipts in accordance with § 132a BAO.
The Cash Register Security Ordinance (German: Registrierkassensicherheitsverordnung/RKSV) sets out the detailed technical specifications of how a signature creation unit and a cash register must be designed.
Due to legal regulations, cash registers must be registered via FinanzOnline. The prerequisite for registration is therefore that the entrepreneur or the authorized party representative has ongoing access to FinanzOnline. Information on registering with FinanzOnline can be found on the BMF website in the E-Government/FinanzOnline/For entrepreneurs and municipalities/Registration, reset and deregistration section.
Companies have the option of appointing a party representative for processes related to the registration of cash registers.

And ready2order ?
In order to create receipts in accordance with RKSV, we work with certified trusted providers. They can use a hardware security module to create signature values, which are then printed on receipts in the form of a machine-readable QR code.
