Before you and your cash register head off for a well-deserved break, ensure everything is in order. What you need to check depends on whether your last receipt included a QR code or displayed an error message.

Good to know

If your last invoice was a SEPA direct debit or an expense-only invoice, no QR code will be printed, as it is not legally required for the payment types.

 

My last receipt had a QR code

Great news! The last printed receipt is signed, meaning your cash register is functioning properly. 
Have a great trip and enjoy your vacation!

I can’t remember if my last receipt had a QR code

No problem! You can verify this by checking the journal of the last signed receipts in the fiskaltrust portal, where you can see if a receipt has been signed correctly. Here’s how it works:

  1. Log in at https://portal.fiskaltrust.at.
  2. Click on Configuration > Queue.
  3. In the "List of Queues" table, click the “Belegjournal" (Receipt Journal) icon in the “Journal” column.
  4. To check whether your receipt has been signed, click the eye icon (Belege anzeigen).
  5. You will now see whether your receipt has been signed:
Signed Unsigned, indicated by the message “Sicherheitseinrichtung ausgefallen” (Security mechanism failed).
