Receipt Case Definitions

This chapter expands on the definitions of Receipt Cases covered in Chapter "Receipt Case Definitions" of the General Part, with country-specific information applicable to the Austrian market.

It describes only the business cases whose handling differs in Austria. The receipts an Austrian integration has to send are listed in What your POS system has to implement: the basic receipts of everyday business, including void and refund, and the operational receipts the RKSV requires - Startbeleg, Nullbeleg, Monatsbeleg, Jahresbeleg and Schlussbeleg - each with its ftReceiptCase, when it is issued and a sample. The Sammelbeleg is not listed separately: it is a Nullbeleg, see End of Failure Receipt (Collective Failure Report). The Austrian terms used below are defined in Terminology.

Delivery notes and agency business have no Austrian specifics; they are described in "Delivery Note" and "Agency Business" of the General Part, and a delivery note sample for the Austrian market is published on the Developer portal.

The case values on this page are the PosSystem API (v2) tagging values documented in Type of service: ftChargeItemCase and Type of payment: ftPayItemCase, where S is the type of service and PP the payment type of the respective format. If your integration still uses the v0 interface, the Migration guide lists the corresponding v0 values for the Austrian market. How vouchers and tips are recorded irrespective of the market, and how they differ from a discount, is described in Discounts, vouchers and other price reductions of the General Part. The samples linked below open in the fiskaltrust Developer portal with the Austrian market preselected and show the receipt request for each case.

Voucher Service/Product (Einzweckgutschein)​

The issuance is a process with RKSV requirement and determines the time of sale. The redemption of a voucher, and thus the distribution of the goods, constitutes a process without RKSV requirement but has to be recorded according to §131 BAO.

The voucher is a charge item S=4 (voucher) with the VAT rate of the goods or service it is good for.

Samples: issuing a single purpose voucher, redeeming a single purpose voucher.

Voucher Value (Mehrzweckgutschein)​

A voucher with a specific value constitutes a means of payment, and its issuance is thus a process without RKSV requirement. Once a business transaction is made and paid for by redeeming a voucher, it constitutes a process with RKSV requirement - therefore, (value) vouchers can usually be found in the pay items block, as a pay item PP=06 (voucher payment - voucher by money value).

Samples: issuing a multi purpose voucher, redeeming a multi purpose voucher.

Tips​

Tips are to be divided into two categories: tips that go to the company are regular sales, and tips that do not go to the company but, e.g. to staff, are not. Both are charge items S=3 (tip) and are distinguished by the VAT rate.

Samples: sale incl. tip to owner, sale incl. tip to employee.
