Now, to enter the cash register program, the cashier needs to enter a simple PIN code consisting of four digits. You no longer need to remember complex, long passwords that you can accidentally forget or lose, and, as a result, often contact the administrator to change the password. 4-digit PIN codes are strong passwords. They are easy to remember and, at the same time, not easy to pick up by intruders - about 10,000 various combinations four-digit passwords consisting of numbers from 0 to 9.

One of these operators will be Yandex, which has already registered Yandex.OFD LLC. Obviously, in addition to the uninteresting work of submitting electronic checks to the tax, Yandex hopes to use big data on millions of sales for advertising targeting.

2013. Privatbank launched online accounting

Bank accounts and banking operations are an integral part of accounting. Therefore, it is very logical if every normal bank would provide its customers with an online accounting service, in which you can pay / view statements and keep financial records. Perhaps the first in the post-Soviet space to come to this is the largest Ukrainian bank, Privatbank. They did not bother with the name of the service - Online Accounting. On the other hand, they spared no time and resources to create functionality: in the service, you can fully maintain accounting records (cash, accounts, income, expenses, salaries, assets ...), form source documents, reporting documents for tax and social funds, maintain contracts and orders, catalog of goods and warehouse accounting, manage customer relationships (CRM), provide technical support (Helpdesk), and of course, use online banking.

Front office system that allows you to organize the workplace of a cashier in stores with various form services, including self-service.

It is integrated with the TCU accounting system and is a single module for working with retail equipment.

Identifies piece or weight goods by barcodes (barcodes) of various standards from the manufacturer, either by own barcodes, or by barcodes printed out by scales with receipt printing. Keeps records of funds at fiscal and non-fiscal cash desks of different outlets (PE and legal entities) at the same time (deposit, withdrawal of funds, revenue).

Makes low demands on the speed of the communication channel with the database (when working with MSSQL Server 2005-2008), which allows you to connect to the database via the Internet. In addition to everything, it has the ability to work with a "slice" of the database in the absence of a permanent connection with the server.

Supports work with fiscal registrars, works with discount cards, provides X- and Z-reports. Allows you to flexibly configure the rights of the cashier, conducts full logging of actions.

Has low hardware requirements, works with all types of scanners, supports a wide range of models of receipt printers. Cashier training time is kept to a minimum.

The architecture of interaction between the workplace of a Shopdesk cashier and the main accounting system of the TCU is described in the article On the interaction between ShopDesk, the trading server and the TCU.

The user interface allows the cashier to use a barcode scanner to identify the item and enter it into the receipt. In addition, a manual search for goods is available, which allows you to organize a cashier's workplace in stores with goods that do not have a barcode. The cashier has the ability to edit the quantity of goods in the receipt. In the case of goods by weight, the system determines the weight of the goods by the barcode printed on the label by the scales with receipt printing.

After the check is approved, the cashier accepts payment from the buyer for the goods issued and hands him a fiscal and (or) non-fiscal check. Form of payment - cash or plastic card, if the workplace is equipped with a POS-terminal.

The application works directly with the database, always receiving the most up-to-date information about the availability of goods and their price at the current moment. Thanks to the client-server architecture, there is no need to worry in any way about data synchronization between the back-office and front-office systems. When any data values ​​change, the front office system starts working with the new values ​​immediately. For example, when approving receipt documents at the head office by an operator working at a TCU, changes in the retail prices of goods on the shelf are possible. The same happens when approving acts of revaluation that also change the retail prices of goods. Also, the adjustment of customer data (for example, the amount of the discount provided, permission / refusal to serve the client), etc., immediately takes effect.

ShopDesk features:

• Identification of the client and obtaining from the accounting system information on the amount of the discount provided if the client has a discount card
• Entering goods into a receipt using a barcode scanner
• Entering goods into the receipt by selecting goods from the list. Implemented search for goods by name and article
• Support for scales with receipt printing. For goods by weight, information about the weight of the goods is automatically retrieved from the barcode of the printed label
• Support for trade scales without check printing, having an interface for connecting to a computer (with ShopDesk). When weighing goods, the weight is transferred directly to the check
• Calculation of the amount of the check and acceptance of payment by check from the client. Printing of fiscal and non-fiscal checks. Accepting cash payments and plastic card if the RMK is equipped with a bank POS-terminal. In the latter case, it is possible to make payments in the TCU trading server at the cash desk of a separate outlet
• Providing real-time sales information to the main accounting system. In the case of organizing a connection to the database via the Internet, data transfer to the trade server via the FTP protocol is supported
• Support for multiple outlets at the same time. Work with fiscal and non-fiscal outlets
• Maintaining a cash register for each outlet - depositing funds into the cash register, calculating revenue, withdrawing funds from the cash register. cash calculator
• Providing the cashier with reports on cash movements for the shift. Viewing information about the sold goods for each check for a shift
• X and Z reports. History of Z-reports
• Work with online database and offline (database backup). Flexible setting of switching modes in case of loss of connection with the online base and subsequent restoration of connection. Backup Scheduler
• Extended work with the rights of the cashier. Prohibition of deleting lines from a receipt or clearing a receipt by a secret word or secret code(Kept by senior cashier)
• Logging cashier's actions

Pay attention - despite the full integration with the main accounting system of the TCU, the cashier's workplace keeps the cash register autonomously. At the end of the shift, the cashier is obliged to make X and Z reports and, according to them, hand over the cash desk to the responsible person (senior cashier). In the back office part (the main accounting system of the TCU), the responsible person makes a counter report on the sales of this cash worker for the shift. Do I need to say that the amount of sales and the amount handed over by the cashier must match? Such a scheme of double control over the RCC cash desk increases the degree of responsibility of the cashier. And also at the same time increases the reliability of accounting, not allowing the use various schemes for trade in goods bypassing the accounting system. In addition, we also note that, with proper organization, stores use checks from customers at the exit of the store to check for discrepancies between the list of goods in the check and the basket.

It is highly recommended that you read the ShopDesk article. Carrying out reconciliations at the cash desk and closing the shift, which describes proper organization accounting of funds and reconciliations at the closing of the shift.

For more information, see Installing, launching and working with "ShopDesk" (for Windows) for the first time. On the this moment it is a bit outdated, but it gives an excellent idea of ​​​​the basic principles in setting up and running Shopdesk

So, what are the costs for a small (usually small) business that does not currently use cash registers:

1. Online cash desk (minimum cost 21 thousand rubles one-time). Necessarily.
2. Agreement with OFD (3 thousand per year). Necessarily.
3. Internet. From 1000 rubles per month. Necessarily.
4. Cash program. The price varies greatly. Mandatory, because now it is not enough to enter the order amount in numbers, you need to indicate the name of the product, article number, etc.
5. POS terminal. Not necessary. For a small business with little traffic, it is enough to use a tablet or computer.

The movement cashier makes it possible to refuse to pay for the program.

There are two online checkout options:

1. With the interface of interaction with the cashier. A bunch of solutions when the tablet is glued to the cash register or just comes with a set separately. The program is embedded in a tablet (usually Android), the cost of such a cash register is about 30 thousand rubles.
2. No interface for interacting with the cashier. The cash register is connected to a computer and the interaction takes place through an accounting program or a cashier program, the cost is from 21 thousand rubles.

The easiest option for a business is to buy a customized kit right away (point 1). But there's enough a large number of businesses that sell a specific product, the sale of which requires advice. An example of such a business is any consulting, sports nutrition, tea bars, entertainment centers, expensive boutiques, vape shops, specific clubs. As a rule, in such a store there is already a computer at which the administrator works - he advises customers through social media, uses complex programs for selection, is engaged in online marketing. All that is required for such a business is to plug into the computer the most cheap checkout and start punching checks in a separately launched program.

The optimal solution for such a business is a free program for online cash registers. We put together such a solution for Windows and tested it on several working businesses.

• The program itself can be downloaded.
• The source code is completely open and awaits community contributions.

Main characteristics:

• Uncompromisingly free. Without SMS and registration, without the chime of obsessive stupid start-ups.
• Very simple, minimum settings.
• Open source. Spy functions or installation of Yandex.Bar and other viruses are excluded.
• The ability to add and change cashiers, manage goods, prices and articles.
• Work with all cash desks Atol and Wikiprint. Barcode support will be added soon.
• Working with a barcode scanner
• Function of "free sale". Until 2021, UTII does not have to fill in the entire directory of goods with articles, it is enough to enter the name of the product and the amount manually. The exact name of the product is also not required.

Features coming soon:

• EGAIS (the target audience is completely different, therefore not a fact).
• Change in the tax base.
• Tablet version.
• Automatic checkout. At the moment, in order to teach the cash register to send data to the OFD, you need to dance a little with a tambourine and follow the instructions, no one has released a universal configurator yet.

More important points:

• The program does not know how to count balances and generate smart reports. But the program can be linked to a complex online inventory system http://demo4.dvizh.net/backend/web/ (superadmin:webmaster). The price of the instance is still negotiable.
• The program only works with Windows versions 7 and above, XP support is not and never will be.
• The program is being prepared for July 2018, that's when a large number of entrepreneurs (UTII and Patent) will be forced to incur high costs for business renewal. We are looking forward to any feedback in the form of a list of functions that small businesses need, bug reports, etc.

Well, for those who are interested, here interesting moments, which we learned while developing this program:

• Open source is almost dead (or never born) in offline trading. Everything is very proprietary, there are no free programs, specialists sit quietly somewhere in the office and do not go online.
• Drivers for cash registers are poorly thought out, it is quite difficult to interact with them. Documentation often does not correspond to reality, development is carried out by random.
• Athol has gone ahead with Pyrite (Wikiprint) both in terms of service quality and software (the documentation there is always up to date).
• Technical support often works according to a script and simply rejects everyone who calls. Nothing really could be found out.
• OFD often buggy and freezes.
• The law is crude, much is unclear. The tax office refuses to advise with the words "you put it, and then we'll figure it out." Therefore, it is unlikely that they will be heavily fined at first.
• The new cash desks differ from the old ones in only one "detail" - fiscal memory, which is produced by something very corrupt, so there is a shortage of this memory now (but our customers have not yet experienced problems with the purchase).
• Around marketing. Old cash registers are not wrapped in any kind of wrapper. Although, only the name of the legal entities of the manufacturers and the case with memory have changed. Evotor is Athol and Wikiprint is Pyrite. All designs with tablets look ridiculous and unreliable.

Such things;) We will be glad to find partners here and receive any feedback.

The presence of an online cash register is not only an obligation to the Federal Tax Service and the state, but also assistance to businesses in working with the buyer and assortment. However, the functioning of the online cash register is impossible without software. Multifunctional software will help you keep inventory records, manage promotions and discounts, and increase store profits. Read this article to learn how to choose a program for an online cash register.

What you will learn about:

Programs for online cash registers: why and who needs them

The advent of new cash registers has changed all the traditional principles of cash accounting. Modern cash register is a highly intelligent IT machine that transmits information about revenue through the network to the Federal Tax Service.

The operation of an online cash register is impossible without software (software). A special program creates cash receipt with the name of all items of purchased goods, allocating VAT for each of them (for those who pay this tax).

It is thanks to the software that a new type of fiscal registrars, established in accordance with the law on online cash registers, transmits the necessary information about a punched check to a fiscal data operator (OFD).

Thus, the program performs two tasks:

1. fiscalization;
2. Formation of a check for the buyer.

Often, a free program for online cash registers built into cash registers can only perform the minimum functions that the tax office requires from cash registers.

If an entrepreneur wants to carry out inventory accounting, manage promotions and discounts, print information about loyalty programs on checks, then the so-called “applied” software is needed.

What functions do cash programs perform?

According to 54-FZ, the formation of a check and its printing are assigned to cash programs.

However, it is not forbidden to publish other information in the check: about promotions and sales. To do this, information about the discount, validity period and other necessary information is entered into the cash register program.

In addition, a modern cash register program should be able to generate an electronic cash receipt, as well as record the customer's contact information.

By law, the client can receive it by e-mail or by SMS until the check is generated, and the cashier must agree to this request.

Another important, but optional function of the cash register program is the ability to accept money from the buyer at the same time in cash and by bank transfer. This is important when the client does not have as much money on the card as he thought, but he is ready to make up for the missing part of the amount with banknotes.

Since the name of the product is indicated on the check, you will not be able to divide it into two payments. Therefore, if you have not yet decided which program is needed for an online cash register, pay attention to the possibility of simultaneous settlement.

Basic requirements of 54-FZ to the program for online cash registers

The Law on Online Cash Desks (54-FZ) prescribes the necessary software tasks for cash desks. These include the following:

1. sending to the online checkout the cost of a unit of goods, taking into account the discount (surcharge);
2. determining the discount in the check and sending the information to the online cashier;
3. publication of the final discount in the receipt only rounded to kopecks;
4. line-by-line transfer to the online checkout of registration (sale) of each item in the receipt;
5. publication on the receipt of the name of the goods;
6. sending, if necessary, additional details (for example, if payment is in favor of other persons);
7. creation and transfer of a correction check to the fiscal data operator, if necessary;
8. at the time of settlement with the buyer, sending a check to the fiscal data operator;
9. generating an electronic receipt and sending it to the buyer on email or mobile phone;
10. the cash register program should also be able to generate a QR code for printing it on a check.

What fiscal documents are supported by cash programs?

The software should be able to prepare several fiscal documents. First of all, cashier's checks are beaten off:

• ordinary cashier's check, including a return check;
• cash receipt correction.

How to choose an online cash register software?

Cash programs conditionally divided into several types:

1. low-cost solutions offering only necessary functions to comply with 54-FZ;
2. inexpensive solutions with additional functionality(management of discounts, report on the best selling items, etc.);
3. solutions with the ability to integrate with the inventory system (for accounting for the movement of positions in the warehouse, inventory) and CRM-system (for managing customer relationships);
4. multifunctional programs written specifically for large retail chains;
5. mobile solutions for online store couriers so that they can also send electronic receipts.

It is logical that for different types businesses fit individual solutions. Consider in the table the functionality that is necessary for different types of points of sale.

Functions of online cash desk software depending on the type of trade

As can be seen from the table, small retailers (stalls, shops) do not care what program is at the checkout: entrepreneurs just need to follow the formalities and issue a check.

However, for those who own a separate store that makes at least 10-20 sales per day, it is already important to understand sales statistics and the most popular items, as well as use online checkout data when inventorying.

Small networks, among other things, need to manage promotions and discounts, combine cash register data and CRM systems.

Online stores need a separate functionality. They will probably need software that is compatible with the mobile checkout, or the installation mobile applications on smartphones of couriers.
