When creating receipts manually during a system outage, ensure they include the following details:
- Company Name: Clearly state the name of your business.
- Sequential Receipt Number: Use a consecutive numbering system, ideally continuing from the last invoice number assigned by your cash register. If you’re unsure of the sequence, implement a temporary system to maintain proper order.
- Receipt Date: Indicate the date the receipt was issued.
- Details of Goods or Services: Include the quantity and a clear commercial description of the items or services sold.
- Total Receipt Amount: Record the total amount for the receipt.
- Cash Payment Amount: Specify the amount paid in cash, if applicable.
Under the RKSV requirements, your guests are obligated to keep receipts, meaning they must receive the original receipt. To meet this requirement, consider using a carbon copy receipt book. This allows your guests to take the original, while you retain the carbon copy for your accounting records.
When your cash register is operational again, you’ll need to record these receipts into the system. We've prepared a detailed guide to help you with this process: How do I enter manually written receipts from an outage (Ausfall)?
