How To Configure Fiscal Slovakia

Fiscal Overview​

For shared background, see Fiscal Overview.

Slovakia Fiscalisation Introduction​

In Slovakia, POS fiscalisation is a legal requirement for businesses to ensure accurate and transparent financial reporting.

It is important for businesses in Slovakia to select a certified fiscal solution and ensure proper installation and configuration of the system to meet fiscalisation requirements. Failure to comply with POS fiscalisation regulations can result in penalties, fines, or legal consequences.

Overall, POS fiscalisation in Slovakia aims to enhance transparency, combat tax evasion, and streamline the process of tax collection by leveraging electronic recording and reporting of sales transactions.

Deployment Overview​

The following steps deploy the fiscal module and printer resources to the PDP Server.

  1. Initiate the application updater update.zip file first.

  2. Wait until it succeeds.

  3. Then send the update PDP min.zip file.

  4. Wait until it succeeds.

  5. Then send the update Fiscal Module.zip file.

  6. Wait until it succeeds.

  7. Finally send the Printer resources-Slovakia.zip file.

  8. Once it has succeeded, the PDP is ready with the new Fiscal Module.

  9. After the successful deployment, the following JARs should be updated in the Enactor > PDP Server > ext-lib folder.
