The Perspectiv program, with the use of agent programs installed in the POSs, constantly monitors fiscal printers place of connection, registering not only the printer model, but also its unique number and the firmware version. As a result, it is possible to find, for example in which stores the fiscal printer worked, as well as when and to which cash registers it was connected. As far as the fiscal memory is concerned, both the stored number of daily reports and the amount of free space in the EJ carrier undergo monitoring.
In addition to the inventory of printers, the Perspectiv program continuously collects fiscals reports from the fiscal printers that are read from fiscal memory and the electronic copies of files (EJ).
Functional description of modules archiving fiscal reports and the EJ data
Electronic copies of data are stored in files. One file contains information about sales/receipts between the two daily fiscal reports. In addition to receipts, the electronic files also contains copies of all documents printed on a fiscal printer, including fiscal reports and shift reports. During the fiscal printer performance (sales) data are collected in the EJ buffer and stored in a separate file in the external memory of the EJ during the generation of a daily report.
The data are retrieved from the fiscal printer by the Perspectiv agent, which is build in the POS application (in the case of Forcom software) or as a separate program that is installed in the cash register (in the case of software from other provider). Communication with the printer is implemented by using a communication protocol provided by the printer manufacturer. The agent retrieves the information from the central system about the image of EJ data and the fiscal reports recorded in the fiscal module. The Perspectiv server sends back the image of the module registered in the central database, and on that basis the Perspectiv agent decides about which files should be transferred to the central system.
Available reports
The application contains the following reports regarding the archived daily reports:
- summary of daily reports, laid out as follows: 1 line = 1 daily report, where each gross value and the VAT value (separately for invoices and receipts) is available as a separate column. The report can be issued in a given period of time for the selected devices. The report can be exported to Excel.
- summary of daily reports, laid out as follows: 1 line = 1 VAT rate of the daily report, where the columns contain the gross value and the VAT value (separately for invoices and receipts) in the given VAT rate. The report can be issued in a given period of time for the selected devices. The report can be exported to Excel.
- periodic fiscal report for the printer. There are two variants of this report: detailed and general. The detailed report shows all registered daily reports in a given period of time for the given printer. The report also contains:
- information on whether the given printer has worked in several stores (for reports registered after starting the Perspectiv module that archives fiscal data and electronic copies)
- information on whether all reports have been archived in given period of time (the continuity of the numbers of reports is analyzed, including the last report before the analyzed period and the first after the given period
- summary of the sales data for the entire period.
The general report presents the above mentioned data without specification of individual daily reports.
- Periodic fiscal report for the store:
The report shows summarized daily reports of all printers that worked in the specified period of time in the given store. The reports "of unknown origin" read from the service printer are not included in this report. They will be included in the reports of stores, where the sales have been registered. Note! The sales registered before initiating the modules that operate in the Perspectiv system in terms of EJ in POSs, will not be associated with any store.
The report also contains information about the number of missing reports for a particular printer, or the information about whether the printer also worked in other stores in a specified period of time.
- Periodic fiscal report for service printers. There are two variants of this report: detailed and summarized. The detailed report includes
- the aggregate value of daily reports registered in a given period for each service printer,
- for information about the completeness of fiscal reports of the printer in a given period,
- numbers of stores where the printer worked in a given period.
Summary report presents these data without the specification of individual printers.
