For a covered electronic register, the same sale involves different tasks. Go through the whole process once instead of only looking at what comes out of the printer.
For covered transactions, the receipt must be issued and made available in direct connection with the transaction. Paper is possible; electronic provision currently requires the receipt recipient's consent and a standardised data format. Other legal requirements remain unaffected.
Further readingAsk your provider for a clearly explained test process on your own register. Have the sale, receipt provision and cancellation explained, and note open questions. This demonstration helps you understand your setup; it is not a certificate of complete legal compliance.
Further readingA receipt handed over and access to stored register data are different topics. Clarify with the provider how to access data and exports. Discuss with your tax adviser which documents are required for your particular register management and retention obligations.
Further readingDistinguish current electronic receipts from proposed digital availability. Prepare formats, delivery and special systems objectively.

The draft generally provides for electronic availability in a standardised data format.
Content and delivery
A QR code or terminal printout alone does not prove that all requirements are met.
Special equipment
The draft contains a transitional rule for certain systems with a weighing function; its conditions must be checked separately.
Use a typical sale as an example. Ask to be shown each step and where you can find the associated documents afterwards.
Receipts and register dataDocument how card payments, cash payments and any delivery platforms enter the records.
Ask for a demonstration of receipt provision, cancellations and data export on your own register.
Keep TSE documents, existing register notifications and data exports where they can be found.
