Simplified invoices (Polish legal regulations)
According to changes in Polish legal regulations, Comarch POS should verify the process of invoice generation. As of 1 October 2020, receipts up to 450 PLN total with a customer holding a TIN number should be treated as simplified invoices. Therefore, generating invoices to such receipts is blocked when an appropriate parameter is activated in the ERP system.
Printing invoices on a receipt printer
When verifying conditions that need to be met to print invoices and advance invoices on a receipt printer, the application takes into account the customer type:
- An advance invoice may be printed on a receipt printer if a retail customer has been selected and the VAT direction On Total has been set in the source sales order
- A sales invoice may be printed on a receipt printer if a retail customer has been selected and the VAT direction On Total has been set in that invoice
