Dear business partners,
We would like to say “thank you” to you today. Thank you for your trust and the good cooperation in 2022, which is now slowly coming to an end.
Shortly before the turn of the year, we will provide two new releases as planned (1.6.0 and 1.6.1). The current version of our RetailForce Fiscal Middleware, v1.6.x contains extensive functional enhancements as well as the release versions of the country modules (Trusted Fiscal Country Modules):
- Italy and
- Slovenia
Also included is a new release for France. Version 1.6.0 can also be used by customers whose POS system was certified with an older version. However, we recommend integrating the extension with regard to the new month-end closing function. You can find more information on this in our Solution Center in the linked article.
Italy
Version 1.6.x provides a connection to certified fiscal systems from EPSON. The printer models FP90 III RT and FP81 II RT are connected to the fiscal module Italy (Trusted Fiscal Country Module IT). From now on, the RetailForce system can be used to fulfil the “Registratore Telematico” requirements.
Please note that in Italy a daily closing must be made in any case. The RT devices transmit end-of-day data to the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).
Slovenia
With the release of the solution for the Slovenian Act on Tax Invoice Certification by the Tax Office (ZDavPR), the taxNumber field has been added to the properties of the cashier. Business branches are created automatically.
Further changes
- raiseCashDifferenceException – Error messages in case of stock differences in cash transactions can be activated or deactivated with this parameter.
- Discount – this BusinessTransactionType will be removed with release 1.7.0.
- Cloud TSE Germany – a possibility was introduced to replace a swissbit Cloud TSE for running systems.
- In “fiscal printer countries” (Italy, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland) the cash drawer can now also be opened via the middleware.
- Barcode in test lines – when using the FLink interface, barcode values can be transmitted in text lines in future; these are printed out as barcodes.
Version 1.6.1 also provides some new functions in the context of fiscal printer control.
Note: The field Payment.IsCash field will be removed from the document model as of 01 March 2023.
As usual, you will find all changes in the release notes in the downloads directory of the corresponding version of our Fiscal Middleware.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Harald Krondorfer
and the entire RetailForce team
