GLOSSARY
Electronic cash register
A digital register or POS system that records sales and must meet German GoBD and KassenSichV requirements.
An electronic cash register is a digital register or POS system that records sales, creates receipts, and stores transaction data for reporting and audits. In Germany, this usually means the system must support tamper-proof records, fiscal exports, and a connected TSE.
For operators, the important point is not the device itself but the workflow around it: every order, payment, refund, and daily close should land in the same clean record. That makes tax exports, cash counts, card reconciliation, and management reporting less manual.
