Fiscalization

Under the Act on the Registration of Sales and the rules of the eKasa system, businesses that accept payments in cash or by cash-substitute payment instruments are required to record these payments via an eKasa cash register and send the data to the Financial Administration system.

English subtitles are available in the video.

To allow your Storyous cash register to operate as an online cash register (ORP/SORP), fiscal data must be stored in it consisting of two .xml files and a password:

• identification data (.xml) – contains basic information about the business and the assigned ORP cash register code,
• authentication data (.xml) – used for encrypted connection of the cash register to the eKasa system; they are part of the so-called initialisation package,
• password for the authentication data – you set it when creating them in the eKasa zone and then use it when uploading them to Storyous and to the fiscal device.

You can obtain the identification and authentication data (.xml) together with the password in the eKasa zone on the Financial Administration portal after logging in to the entrepreneur’s personal internet zone. A detailed step-by-step guide including screenshots can be found directly in the Financial Administration information material: Download of identification and authentication data for ORP (PDF).

For the data from the cash register to be stored and transferred securely, each eKasa cash register must have a connected or integrated fiscal device with certified protected data storage CHDÚ.

Fiscal settings setup

Fiscalization is configured in Settings → Fiscal settings in the Storyous web administration.

In Fiscal settings, all devices at the venue are now displayed at once in a single table. For each device, you can also immediately see whether fiscalisation has already been configured.

1. Open the Fiscal settings section.
2. In the device list, find the device you want to configure.
3. Click the pencil icon on the right for that device.
4. Upload the identification data (.xml) first and then the authentication data (.xml).
5. Enter the Password you set when creating the authentication data.
6. Click Save.

If you have multiple fiscal devices, repeat the same procedure for each device separately.

After uploading and saving the fiscal files in the back office, you need to save the changes to the fiscal device:

1. Switch on the till (tablet) and open the Storyous app.
2. After logging in, a dialog may appear informing you about new or unsaved fiscal data and asking for a restart.
3. Restart the device using the power button on the device, then open Storyous again and log in.
4. If the information dialog appears again, perform another restart of the device – in some cases, you may need to restart the device several times until the data are stored correctly.
5. After the data have been uploaded and processed successfully, a message will appear stating that the fiscal data have been stored correctly on the CHDÚ.

Reasons for uploading new fiscal files

You need to request new identification and authentication data (and upload them to Storyous) especially in the following situations:

• Expiry of the authentication data – authentication data have a limited validity, usually 2 years.
• Change of the entrepreneur’s identification data – for example, a change of business name, company ID, tax ID, place of business or sales point after reporting the change to the tax office.
• Technical issues with the fiscal device or cash register – when replacing the fiscal device, reinstalling the system or performing other technical interventions, it may be necessary to upload or restore the fiscal data again according to the instructions of the service provider or the Financial Administration.
