Nuremberg / Münster, 23  March 2021 - The service provider DATEV eG (DATEV) and the Vectron Systems AG (Vectron), a leading provider of intelligent, digitised POS systems consisting of hardware, software and cloud services, with focus on the catering and bakery trade, have released an interface for the archiving of POS data. An extensive field test was successfully carried out in advance. Via the interface the data of the various Vectron- and Duratec POS systems is automatically transferred to the DATEV POS archive online and within the structure of the DFKA (German Association for POS and Invoicing System Technology) taxonomy POS data. The current version of the digital interface of the Fiscal Authorities for POS systems (DSFinV-K) is used, i.e. the latest legal standard. By means of the interface Vectron customers can transfer their POS data to the DATEV financial accounting solutions, using a consistent digital process. 

The interface supports more than 20 business transaction types, e.g. also private withdrawals, deposit refunds and vouchers. As soon as the daily closing is done at the POS system, the relevant data is sent to the tax advisor within seconds, completely without any manual intermediate steps. This significantly reduces the effort required for the daily closing of the POS system and makes it easier to meet the legal requirements for proper cash management.

Vectron customers mainly come from the catering and bakery trades but the POS software is also suitable for many other industries such as hotels, retail and hairdressers. Many of the customer businesses in Germany are clients of tax consultants who use DATEV solutions as part of their financial accounting and business management consulting. Vectron therefore developed an interface to the DATEV Kassenarchiv online, via which the tax-relevant data from the POS systems can be transferred via the DATEV Kassenarchiv online to the DATEV Kassenbuch online and thus to the DATEV systems for financial accounting. 

The digital exchange of data between the systems relieves entrepreneurs of routine tasks, such as retroactive manual data entry, and increases the quality of the data. The workload for tax advisors is also reduced. They receive automatic posting suggestions in their accounting software, which simplifies data processing enormously. Users of Vectron and Duratec POS systems can use the interface to the DATEV Kassenarchiv online for a monthly fee. DATEV Kassenarchiv online is the central solution on the DATEV platform MeinFiskal.  You register to the portal at The data undergoes a number of check routines during upload to ensure data quality and compliance.  Companies are thus better equipped in the event of a cash audit and also always have their data at hand. DATEV Kassenbuch online is a part of DATEV Unternehmen online.

Archiving of POS data in compliance with the law

When it comes to complying with the GoBD (German financial administration requirements to an IT-based accounting system) there is still a considerable need for action on the part of many companies, especially with regard to the audit-proof archiving of cash register data for the entire duration of the legal retention period of currently ten years. The DATEV Kassenarchiv online provides companies with the security that their POS data is archived in compliance with the law - especially against the background of the new legal situation that has been in force since 1 January 2020. If required, the POS data and other archived documents can be made available to the tax authorities from the DATEV Kassenarchiv. 

The connection of the POS systems to the DATEV computing centre is established via the myVectron Cloud platform and is based on the POS transaction data in the myVectron fiscal archive.
