Dear guests,
You will be surprised to find long, incomprehensible rows of numbers and letters on the receipt.
According to the law, we have to use a TSE (technical security device) for our electronic cash register.
(€ 99 per year plus activation) so that the tax office has access to our cash register.
In times of pandemics you have no other worries ...
If you are interested, here is the explanation:
- TSE transaction: serial number of the transaction that is signed by the TSE.
- TSE signature no .: Consecutive number of how often the TSE has been contacted by orderbird. Please note: This number can differ from the number "TSE transaction" because a request to the TSE can be sent repeatedly until a response is received.
- TSE start: The exact date when the TSE started processing the invoice information.
- TSE-Stop: The exact date when the TSE finished processing the invoice information
- TSE serial number: 65-digit serial number of your TSE, which consists of digits and lowercase letters
- TSE time format: The time zone that the TSE uses to sign your receipts. UTC is the coordinated universal time.
- TSE signature: 88-digit identification code consisting of numbers, special characters, and small and capital letters. This is the code that makes your invoice KassenSichV-compliant.
- TSE hash algorithm: The type of process how a signature is calculated from your receipt data. The "ecdsa-plain-SHA256" algorithm is used.
- TSE status: This is the current status of the TSE.
Does the receipt really have to contain that much information?
Unfortunately, yes, for two reasons:
- According to the law, we are obliged to provide all technical information that may be relevant to an audit of the company.
- All information must be printed in an appropriate font size so that it can be read by people without technical aids.
And that, for example, because of 50 cents, endless waste of paper
The question arises, what is that supposed to be!
