What online cash registers are there and why you don’t need offline cash registers. How to choose the right cash register Examples of cash register equipment

Control over the implementation of trade operations both on the scale of companies and in the activities of individual entrepreneurs is being improved with the development of electronic technologies. And 2018 in Russia became the starting point for the transfer of specialized cash registers to a new format. Now, thanks to modern online communication, control devices can issue not only paper checks, but also electronic ones.

This method of mutual settlements in a seller/buyer pair has a number of positive aspects for both:

for the seller, work with the tax office is simplified, since the process of data processing by the fiscal authority is accelerated and the possibility of errors is approaching zero;
This creates a chance for the buyer to create an online database or archive of receipts for long-term storage, control their expenses and predict future expenses;
For all participants, this is an excellent way to avoid misunderstandings in the trading process, to form a reliable and, most importantly, electronic evidence base that does not take up much space; if they do arise, the matter will come to proceedings at various levels. In addition, paper checks issued in parallel at any store additionally ensure the security of each purchase and sale.

The new type of equipment is well protected from information leakage, has a design that does not require the use of a cash register tape, and is quickly registered online with the assignment of a serial number, without the need for a personal visit to the tax service. Absolute transparency and convenience when conducting trade transactions are undoubted advantages from the operation of cash registers.

This summer, more than a million small businesses in our country will have to start using cash register equipment for payments. Now there are about a hundred different models of cash registers on the market, the price of which ranges from 15 to 100 thousand rubles, and the range of tasks they can solve is from a simple receipt printing machine no smarter than a desktop calculator to complex self-service cash register systems with “smart cash register” functions. How to choose a cash register to suit your needs and at the best price for your business?

Online cash registers for small businesses can be divided into several classes.

Autonomous online cash registers

This is the simplest class of cash registers. The word “autonomous” in the name means that these devices are self-sufficient and can independently solve their main task - punching checks. At their core, this is all they can do. They do not need cash register programs or computers to work; they are configured and work autonomously, some of them have batteries, which allows them to be used even without a constant connection to the mains.

“Offline” does not mean “without an Internet connection.” These are full-fledged online cash registers, which have built-in communication modules for transmitting data to the OFD in real time. As a rule, these communication modules are implemented in the form of GPRS modems built into cash registers. Insert the SIM card of your desired telecom operator into such a module and your cash register is ready to work!

The cost of cash registers of this class ranges from 15 to 40 thousand rubles. From a price point of view, the decisive factor is the ability to accept bank cards for payment at such a cash register; in this case, the cash register is an addition to the bank terminal, which seriously increases its cost. An example of such a cash register is.

The functionality of stand-alone cash registers also differs greatly from model to model. Indeed, according to the new requirements of 54-FZ, for most enterprises, a cash receipt must now necessarily contain the name of the goods, their quantity, cost and discount, if any. The option when the check indicates one total total amount will no longer work. Therefore, even in a small autonomous cash register, you will need to somehow create a product directory with the names and prices of your entire range of products or services. And this process is implemented differently for different cash registers. For the simplest ones, there are special programs that are installed on the computer, a cash register is connected to the computer via a wire, and with the help of this program the product directory is loaded into the cash register. This is how it works, for example.

But there is another way of working, which is implemented, for example, in . These cash desks support work with a personal account located on the Internet. This allows you to manage your cash register and product directory from anywhere in the world and from any device, which is much more convenient. In addition, the functionality of your personal account is much broader and is essentially a small inventory system - you can use it to track sales and monitor the operation of the cash register. And for this, the cash register does not need to be connected to a computer; the entire exchange takes place via the Internet, to which the cash register is already connected for online data transfer. And at the same time, the differences in cost between such a “smart” cash register and its simple analogue are minimal.

Smart terminals

The widespread use of smartphones and mobile devices has made it possible to create a new type of cash registers – smart terminals. At its core, it is a smartphone or tablet combined in one housing with a fiscal receipt printer. A special cash program is installed on the smartphone, which controls the generation of fiscal documents. Thanks to this, the cash register program can be quite complex and smart; the functions of such a smart terminal will differ little from its older brothers - POS terminals that you find in supermarkets and retail stores. In addition, some developers of smart terminals open the cash register management code to third-party programmers, so that many different cash register programs specialized for a variety of business areas appear on the same device. Such a smart cash register becomes very similar to a regular smartphone - you can install the programs you need on it, change them if you don’t like them, or customize them for yourself. The app store of EVOTOR, the largest manufacturer of smart terminals in Russia, currently hosts about a hundred different applications from a variety of categories

Our company is also developing applications for the EVOTOR market under the iRECA brand and we are very pleased that our projects iRECA .Solo, iRECA .Courier are among the TOP applications of the market by rating in their categories.

Smart terminals are divided by model and by task to be solved according to the diagonal of the smartphone or tablet screen. The smallest devices have a diagonal of 5 inches and are analogous to a stand-alone cash register - they can also be carried with you, and they can work without recharging for about 12 hours. The functional limitations in the area of application of such a cash register are caused only by the convenience of working on it - on such a small screen the size of a regular smartphone it is difficult to place a large number of graphic buttons. Therefore, such smart terminals are usually used for a small number of receipts or as portable devices. The cost of a cash register of this type starts from 14 thousand rubles.

Devices based on tablets with a diagonal of 7 and 10 inches are more often used as stationary ones. Despite their compact size, it will not be convenient to carry them with you all the time. But thanks to the screen size, applications for such smart terminals will already be fully functional. For example, our company automates small restaurants using 10-inch terminals, while such a terminal is used as a base station, and waiters can also work at mobile workstations using their smartphones.

The cost of such smart terminals starts from 12 thousand rubles and greatly depends on the configuration.

When choosing a cash register, pay attention to whether its price includes a fiscal drive and which one. Now on the market you can find three types of fiscal drives - for 13 months, for 15 months and for 36 months, and their price will differ from the period of its use. Please note that most sellers indicate on their websites the price of a cash register without a fiscal drive, leaving you the right to choose its model.

The need to use cash registers when making payments may become just another line on the list of expenses for entrepreneurs. But if you approach the choice of cash register consciously, make the transition on time and take advantage of a tax deduction of 18 thousand rubles from the state, then you can turn these costs into investments that will make the operation of the enterprise more efficient.

All over the world, cash register is used to simplify commodity accounting and control over sellers. In Russia, cash registers are a state control instrument.

With their help, cash turnover, completeness and timeliness of cash receipts by economic entities are controlled. What types of cash registers are there?

Basic moments

The cash register is used in payments for products sold and services provided. The main task of the cash register is to record purchases and sales. In Russia, devices with fiscal memory are used.

This means that information that has already been captured cannot simply be deleted. Fiscal memory stores data about all completed transactions.

The rules for using cash register machines in the Russian Federation are regulated by the law “On the use of cash register machines...”. Based on the schematic design of the device, a distinction is made between cash registers and fiscal recorders.

A cash register is an autonomous mechanism through which the cashier enters the purchase amount and then prints a receipt.

The FD is a device controlled by a connected computer that is part of an automated cashier workstation.

What it is

Cash registers are a type of electronic computer technology. “Standard rules for operating cash register machines...” (paragraph 1, section 1) defines a cash register as a device with counting, summing, computing and receipt printing properties.

According to information processing systems and related definitions, a computer should be considered a combination of technical means that allows you to process data and obtain the result in the required format (Table 1, paragraph 7).

Since KKM is used to process data and obtain results (calculate and record on paper), it belongs to computers. The same GOST defines an electronic computer.

The cash register includes electronic components. The main functions of the cash register are implemented using electronic components. This means that a cash register machine can be considered an electronic computing machine.

Functions performed

The use of cash registers involves the implementation of such tasks as:

detailed accounting of all monetary profits;
increased staff performance;
minimizing errors in calculations;
improving sanitation and hygiene conditions when selling food products;
multiplication of service and reduction of time costs when paying for purchased goods.

The cashier's work was greatly facilitated by the replacement of electromechanical machines, first with electronic devices, and then with control and recording systems based on automation and electronics.

Cash registers with laser systems can independently read the necessary encoded details from the goods. Therefore, the work of a salesperson-cashier is reduced only to operating the machine when making payments to clients.

Current cash registers provide the following functions:

Counting time and date, indicating them, adjusting	And also fixation on control tape and receipt
Creation of symbolic and textual information	When outputting it to the control tape and receipt
View details	About the sales completed during the day in the control memory
Performing calculator functions	Both in offline mode and in cash register mode
Possibility of connecting to a computer	Or to electronic scales
Reading barcodes from goods	And transformation of data into product price
Control memory for totals	With the ability to read information by tax authorities, etc.

At this time, cash registers are a significant class of equipment that has a similar functional purpose, but differs in the circumstances of use and functionality.

Since the number of cash registers allowed for operation is quite large, their systematization according to their inherent characteristics is required.

The main function of any cash register is to record sales during cash settlements with customers. The cashier is only required to independently collect transaction data; all other operations are performed automatically without anyone’s participation.

That is, profit accounting begins automatically after the check is cleared. If the check is not cleared, then the revenue will not be accounted for.

Current standards

The use of cash registers in the Russian Federation is regulated by the following standards:

Classification and types of cash registers

The classification basis for cash registers is the Classifier of cash register machines used on the territory of the Russian Federation, ratified by the GMEC.

In accordance with this document, KKM is divided according to areas of application into four separate subclasses, in particular for:

trade establishments;
service industry;
sales of oil and refined oil products;
restaurant and hotel sector.

All cash registers have a fundamentally equal design. They are divided into different subclasses on the basis of design differences, which provide specificity of work depending on what types of activities are carried out.

Used in trade organizations

Based on functionality and constructability, the classification of cash registers in trade is carried out according to design:

autonomous;
passive system;
active system;
fiscal registrars.

Cash registers with connection to:

scanner;
computer;
electronic scales;
payment card reader, etc.

Cash registers are classified in trade and according to methods of generating reporting documentation:

by cashiers;
by sections;
by product type;
hourly report;
daily report;
fiscal report.

Based on the functionality of the registers of the random access memory device, it is proposed to classify the cash register into:

operating rooms;
control;
money summing.

Also, cash registers in trade are classified according to the methods of enabling the operating mode:

through keys;
by entering a software password.

Basically, the entire classification scheme for cash registers for trading is based on the difference in data entry options for breaking a check.

Information can be entered through the keyboard of the device itself, through a barcode scanner, on a computer, using electronic scales, and so on.

What models are there?

The list of models approved for use is determined by the State Register. Every cash register model is included in the Register for a specific area of activity. In this case, the type of model is immediately determined.

It is prohibited to use cash register machines for a different type of activity than is established by law. Any model of cash register equipment is entered into the Register for a certain period or without restrictions.

Over time, some models may be excluded from the approved list as not meeting modern conditions. Only models included in the Register are subject to registration with the tax authority.

Models that have been removed from circulation may remain in use for some time. Sometimes upgrading the device is required for further use.

Such models are called “extended”. There are also “prohibited” cash register models that are excluded from the Register and are prohibited from use. Using such a device is equivalent to working without a cash register, which is fraught with sanctions.

As for the most popular cash register models, in Russia the cash register market is represented mainly by domestic brands. This is due to different requirements in other states.

However, there are no universal models. When choosing a specific model, you should focus on the conditions of use, the availability of power supply, and the required functionality.

Types of registers

Registers are special sections for accumulating operational information and obtaining summary information.

It is the information from the registers that is used in the process of generating reports. Information is added to registers during operations.

According to the decision approved by the GMEC dated June 23, 1995, as amended. dated November 27, 2001, KKM distinguishes the following types of registers:

Type of checks

A cash receipt is a primary accounting document that is printed by a cash register on paper to confirm the execution of a cash payment between the user and the client.

Cash receipt includes:

title;
body;
ending.

Before the cash receipt itself, any information can be displayed on a paper tape, for example, about special offers or current promotions. The header contains information about the owner of the cash register.

It may also contain additional information - address, trademark, telephone number, etc. It is necessary to include in the title the serial number of the device, the number of the specific receipt and the taxpayer’s tax identification number.

The composition of the body of the check depends on the operation being performed. First, the type of operation is indicated. Then the registration blocks are printed. Each block contains data about the product name, section number, cost, volume, and total amount.

The same block may contain information about bonuses or discounts for the position. The body of the check ends with a block about payment.

In this case, discounts/surcharges for the entire check and the check amount are first indicated, and then the total amount is indicated by payment type (payment cards or cash). Also, the change amount can be printed at the end of the check body.

The check ends with the date and time of the transaction, full name. or cashier number. Some models provide printing of the device registration number, EKLZ serial number, and through check number.

A sign of the fiscal regime is the presence of a special symbol next to the cash register number and the inscription FISKAL. Depending on the model, the information displayed may slightly change its location within the receipt.

Regarding the machine's memory

The law on the use of cash register systems contains an indispensable condition that any cash register equipment must meet. This is the presence of fiscal memory and work in fiscal mode.

Cash register equipment is an indispensable attribute of almost any person or organization engaged in business activities. These individuals have many questions when it comes to fiscal apparatus. Some aspects of the use of such technical means are described in this article.

Legislation

Any individual entrepreneur, and even more so an organization engaged in commercial activities, before starting their work, must study the laws and other regulations of the state that regulate the use of cash register systems. This is due to the fact that not long ago a law was passed in the country, which stipulates that if businessmen make cash payments during their work, then they are obliged to use fiscal equipment for this. But even if cash payments do not occur, but are made through transfers through bank cards, this is also a condition for installing a fiscal apparatus. Another regulatory document regulating the legal relations under consideration is the Federal Law on cash register equipment.

Strict reporting forms

Of course, there are exceptions established by law. Thus, some categories of entrepreneurs do not require the purchase, registration and use of cash register equipment. First of all, this applies to entrepreneurs who purchase and sell their goods using strict reporting forms. The latter are a legal argument for the tax service, representing confirmation of the transaction. Requirements for strict reporting forms are established by special legal acts.

Other exceptions

Another category of private entrepreneurs and commercial organizations are persons who work and are engaged in a type of activity that complicates the use of cash register equipment. Among these, for example, we can note retail outlets in markets. Installing a CCP in them is very difficult, since usually there is no electricity supplied to such points, not to mention the Internet. By the way, about the network. Recently, control machines that directly transmit readings to the tax authority have been in quite high demand.

Other persons exempted by law from the use of cash register systems are single tax payers, as well as persons who carry out their business activities on the basis of a patent.

This list is not complete. A detailed list of them can be found in the law itself, which regulates their relations. This normative act is called “On the implementation of cash payments by entrepreneurs and organizations.” In addition to it, other state documents regulate certain issues.

Types of equipment

Cash register equipment is diverse. There are a huge number of manufacturers in the country who constantly produce these tax accounting tools. However, in general these machines can be divided into three categories:

Cash register machine.
Electronic machines.
Software systems.

The three types differ in complexity and function. If simple cash registers are equipment slightly larger than a calculator (the smallest example), then computers are already a more advanced machine with a large number of various functions.

Software and hardware systems already speak for themselves - this is a huge set of not only hardware, but also a variety of software. Depending on the type of activity, on what the businessman will do, on the number of tasks that he wants to solve in the production process, the type of cash register equipment that he will need to use depends on all this.

Registration

Buying a cash register is only half the battle. After purchasing it, registration with the authorized body will be required. This is the tax service. To register a device, you need to submit an application to this body in the form prescribed by law. This application form can be obtained directly from the tax authorities. The document must be accompanied by a passport of the cash register equipment, an agreement concluded with the organization that will subsequently service it and carry out service repairs. Having submitted the specified documents to the tax specialist, you will need to wait a few days and then pick up the cash register.

Equipment register

In order for the registration of control equipment to go smoothly, you need to know some points. Thus, in accordance with the Government Decree, not all cash register equipment is subject to registration, and in general can be used by entrepreneurs. The state, represented by the tax service, maintains a special list of devices that can be used on the territory of Russia. It is called the State Register. The tax authority includes current information about the models of cash register equipment that can be used in this list. Only after familiarizing yourself with this register is it recommended to purchase a cash register and then register it.

This register serves simultaneously three subjects of business relations. The first are entrepreneurs who can find out from it whether the purchased device is up-to-date and whether it can be used. The second are CCP manufacturers, who, before selling their products, are required to take measures to include their model in this register. And the third are the state bodies themselves, including tax services, which carry out monitoring and inspections using the register.

Application of cash registers

Having registered a cash register in the prescribed manner, the taxpayer assumes other responsibilities. One of them is the use of fiscal technology. The law establishes a list of cases in which an individual entrepreneur or other person engaged in business activities must use it. Thus, the regulatory act directly states that cash register equipment must be used if a businessman makes any payments using money or bank cards.

But that's not all. After using the cash register, the business owner or the person charged with using the cash register must give his client a receipt that will confirm the purchase.

The third important condition for using the fiscal apparatus is that the cashier or other person fills out all related documents. Thus, they are required, for example, to keep a book of cash receipts, which reflects all payments made, their amount and other nuances.

Responsibility

Violation of legislative norms related to the use and application of fiscal equipment will be grounds for administrative liability. The tax service has a special unit that is authorized to carry out the necessary checks. Specialists ensure that all businessmen use cash registers in accordance with established requirements.

Thus, one of the powers of these employees is to conduct surprise inspections, as well as so-called test purchases. In practice it looks like this. A tax specialist in civilian clothes purchases some goods in a store. If the cashier does not give him a check, the fiscal will issue a corresponding act, and the store employee will be held administratively liable. The punishment is a rather large fine.

You should know that the tax service’s act of committing the offense described above can be challenged both in court and through the management of the organization.

Removal from the register

The use of cash registers is directly related to the activities of entrepreneurs or organizations. Therefore, if they cease their activities, the fiscal apparatus is subject to mandatory deregistration. This procedure is quite simple and does not require large material and time costs.

A businessman just needs to bring the fiscal registrar to the authorized body, where, again, he writes an application on the appropriate form. Documents are attached to it: a passport for the device, a registration card. After five days, the tax authority will have to deregister the equipment. If the deadline has passed, but the procedure has not been completed, it is advisable to contact the deregistration department. It is possible that a businessman will be denied this action if the cash register was damaged or had other malfunctions. In any case, if this public service is delayed, it is necessary to find out the reason, and in certain cases write a complaint to higher officials (the head of the tax authority) or go to court.

Summarizing

Thus, there are not many types of CCP. Any fiscal registrar that an entrepreneur plans to buy must first be checked for compliance with the requirements established by the State Register. Next, you should use this equipment correctly to avoid possible sanctions. But in any case, before starting a business activity, it is better to consult with knowledgeable people, including tax officials. It is also recommended to read all legal acts on the use of cash register equipment.

According to changes in legislation (FZ-290, Federal Law-54, Federal Law-171), it is necessary to think about which cash register to choose for use. Now, in order to choose the right cash register, it is not enough to just come to the store and just point your finger “I want this one”.

Immediately about the exceptions: The new law on cash registers has exceptions for certain types of activities that may not use a cash register when paying customers. These include: sale of securities; sale of public transport tickets; trade in kiosks of ice cream and soft drinks on tap; shoe repair and painting; seasonal trade in waddling vegetables; acceptance of glassware and waste materials from the population, with the exception of scrap metal; leasing to individual entrepreneurs, residential premises owned by him by right of ownership, and others.

There are three types of cash desks for 54FZ

push-button online cash registers
online recorders (connect to a computer and work through the program)
online POS terminals (miniature computers, usually already with a program and a built-in printing device)

Appearance of the check according to the new procedure

What do you need to know when choosing a cash register?

taxation system (UTII, simplified tax system, patent, OSNO)
form of ownership (individual entrepreneur or other - LLC, CJSC, OJSC, PJSC, etc.)
the number of items of your product (up to 250 or more) and whether there are excise goods (alcohol, including weak alcohol such as beer, tobacco, motor oils, motor fuel)
approximate throughput (average number of receipts per day) in order to correctly estimate the life of the print head and the number of cuts of the auto-cutter (if available), the number of touches to the sensor (if available)
what type of Internet access will be available at the point for transmitting data to the Federal Tax Service (WiFi, Ethernet cable, GSM - SIM card of a telecom operator or simply through a personal computer already connected to the Internet)
make sure that the cash desk you have chosen is in the state register published on the Federal Tax Service website

Let's take a closer look at the first 4 points, since they are the most important and depend on each other

Points 1-2 when choosing Cashier

It is important to know the tax system and form of ownership, since the first step in choosing a cash register depends on this. If you do not have the main taxation system (OSNO with VAT) and the form of ownership is individual entrepreneur, then you can opt for a push-button online cash register (cost about 19,000 rubles, for more detailed information see the section “push-button online cash registers”), since Federal Law-290 only for individual entrepreneurs, until August 1, 2021, you do not have to transfer the name of goods and services to the Federal Tax Service, however, the use of new online cash registers is mandatory for everyone when making payments in cash or electronic money (card, online payments, electronic wallets, etc.)

from April 1, 2017 for everyone who sells low-alcohol drinks, including beer, mead, etc.
from July 1, 2017 for everyone except UTII and patent payers
from July 1, 2018 for all UTII and patent payers
from August 1, 2021, absolutely everyone must submit the names and VAT rate to the Federal Tax Service. In addition, the taxation system and VAT rate are now required to be indicated on all receipts.

With a little modification, these cash registers can be used in conjunction with a personal computer, this is important, since in August 2021 you will not have to change the cash register to start transferring the names of goods and services if you have a lot of them.

Point 3 when choosing Cashier

We smoothly moved on to the next point of selecting cash registers - the number of items of goods/services. We do not recommend push-button online cash registers at points of sale where the price is higher 100 checks per day and more than 50 items sold. Although the cost of a push-button online cash register is quite low, working with it will be difficult. First, you will need to upload a list of items with unique codes and prices from your computer into it, and when selling you need to enter the product code, and not just the amount as before. If you often change the price of a product/service or add a new assortment, it will be difficult to constantly load your items into the cash register and print out a list of product codes to the cashier; this takes time

As for excise goods: they are usually accounted for anyway, since a report on them is submitted to the relevant supervisory authorities (Federal Tax Service, RAR, RPN, etc.), which means it makes no sense to keep financial records in two devices: a computer and a push-button online checkout.

In these two cases, it makes sense to either connect the online registrar to an existing program (1c, AZS-Rodnik, ALPHA-AZS, etc.), or purchase the program and still connect the online registrar, especially if you already have a computer, then the programs and There are very budget recorders, for example 1C Retail basic version costs about 3,000 rubles and there are recorders with a cost commensurate with the cost of push-button cash registers (up to 25,000 rubles).

We recommend paying special attention to the following models of budget recorders:

For those who do not yet have a computer and a program and do not need to buy them, there is the option of budget online POS terminals (miniature computers usually already have a program and a built-in printing device with a cost of up to 35,000 rubles), as a rule, in such systems there is no limit on the number goods used.

We recommend paying special attention to the following models of budget POS terminals:

Point 4 when choosing Cashier

You need to know the average number of receipts per day so as not to overpay for the service, because the cheaper the cash register, the less load on the printer and cutter it is designed for (usually up to 100 receipts per day). If the retail outlet plans to handle more than 150 receipts per day, then it is worth considering the options of more expensive recorders (up to 35,000 rubles) or POS terminals (up to 65,000 rubles), as a rule, they are designed to serve a larger number of customers: most cash registers have an automatic cutter and a thermal head, designed to print more kilometers of receipt tape, as well as printing speed, and POS terminals have even increased processor and sensor speed, a greater number of touches on the touch panel of the sensor (industrial hardware), which speeds up customer service and reduces service costs .

The myth about saving money when printing on 57mm ribbon rather than 80mm. We took several devices with a printing width of 57 and 80 mm, entered the same details, printed several checks, and took down reports. On a narrow tape, checks are twice as long, but the tape costs 2 times cheaper; on a wide tape, checks are shorter, but more informative, and the tape is more expensive. When calculating the relative cost of the tape, it turns out that there is no difference - use cash registers with the tape width that you like best. To save tape, most cash register systems have settings that allow you to compress the font, reduce line spacing, and remove expanded data from reports - this is real tape savings of up to 15%.
