In the German version of Business Central, LS Central provides functionality to comply with the fiscal law requirements, specifically related to the usage of TSE (Technical Security Element).
TSE is a mandatory component in Germany that every point-of-sale (POS) system must use. It consists of a certified security module, secured memory, and a digital interface. Both the POS and TSE need to be reported and registered with the Tax Authority.
LS Central integrates with the Fiskaly API, which is a cloud-based middleware for the fiskaly CTSS/TSE. The fiskaly SIGN DE API is compliant with the German KassenSichV (Kassensicherungsverordnung). This integration enables secure handling of sales transactions and ensures compliance with fiscal regulations.
LS Central also supports DSFinVK (Digitale Schnittstelle der Finanzverwaltung für Kassensysteme) reporting through Fiskaly. This enables day-end fiscal exports (Cash Point Closings) and DSFinVK-compliant reporting of transaction data for tax audit purposes.
Note: For a Hybrid environment, while replicating transaction data from store to HQ using DataDirector, add the fiskaly tables, "LSCDE Fiskaly SalesTransaction"(10044588) and "LSCDE Fiskaly SalesTrans Line"(10044589) to the linked sub job in the transaction job.
