🇮🇹 Feature: Added Support for Unreferenced Refunds with Epson RT Printers (fiskaltrust/middleware#515)​

With this release, we have added support for performing unreferenced refunds with Epson RT Printer based SCUs.
This allows us to support this scenario across all currently available SCUs.

This version of the Middleware is a maintenance release. It focuses on ensuring stability, reliability, and continued compatibility. No functional changes or new features are included.

In this version of the French Middleware, we've provided an updated posapi helper to with improved TLS 1.2 support.

In this version of the Middleware, our focus was on a range of improvements and fixes tailored primarily for the German market..

The main focus of this release is to improve existing processes and fix minor bugs.

Exports Redirection Fix​

Fixed: Navigating to exports no longer redirects users to the legacy exports page. Users are now correctly redirected to the new exports page.

Why it matters:* The new page includes features not available in the legacy version, such as displaying the current state of exports, along with improved performance and reliability.

Subscription Extension Issue Resolved​

Fixed: Users were previously unable to extend subscriptions for Notifications, Cloud Cashbox Swissbit, and Cloud Cashbox Fiskaly Single products. This issue has now been resolved, and subscription extensions for these products are fully functional.

Why it matters: Ensures uninterrupted service for users by allowing timely subscription renewals for all supported products.

Queue Configuration Outlet Messaging Improvements​

Improved: Added a descriptive message on the Queue Configuration page when a configured outlet is not found. The system no longer silently defaults to outlet number 1 without explanation.

Why it matters: Helps POS operators and POS dealers clearly identify the real issue before contacting support, reducing confusion and troubleshooting time by avoiding misleading defaults.

Role Management Clarity Improvements​

Improved: Enhanced the role management interface to clearly indicate when roles have been disabled. When a role is deactivated, users now see a descriptive message explaining the status and how to re-enable it, such as "The PosCreator role has been disabled. If you want to enable it again, please use the toggle to start the sign process again."

Why it matters: Eliminates confusion about role activation status and provides clear guidance for users who need to re-enable roles, reducing support inquiries and improving user experience.

We have updated the A-Trust smartcard personalization tool and the atapdu SCU package to support A-Trust ACOSID 4.1 smartcards. Be sure to use the latest A-Trust smartcard personalization tool and fiskaltrust.signing.atapdu SCU packages when working with the new ACOSID 4.1 smartcards.

A-Trust smartcard personalization tool 1.4​

We've updated our smartcard personalization tool to make it compatible with the latest ACOS-ID 4.1 smartcards distributed by A-Trust. Old card generations continue to be supported.

The latest version can be downloaded in the Portal's download area both for Windows x86 and x64.

Affected packages:​

• fiskaltrust.signing.atapdu v1.2.25233.84649

In this version of the Middleware, our focus was on a range of improvements and fixes tailored primarily for the German market.

This release includes performance improvements and user experience enhancements delivered from July to September. Key highlights include performance optimizations for customers with large numbers of cashboxes, German notification management improvements with automated date handling and enhanced guidance, PosSystem pages performance improvements, and added outlet number visibility across all table views to streamline workflows.

Cashbox Loading Performance Improvements​

Affected markets: ALL

Improved: Significantly enhanced performance for customers with large numbers of cashboxes (1000+) in their accounts. The portal was previously very slow and barely usable for these customers, but performance improvements now allow even customers with 50,000+ cashboxes to load data in reasonable time.

Why it matters: Ensures the platform remains responsive and usable for enterprise customers with extensive cashbox deployments, improving their daily workflow efficiency and user experience.

Next steps: We will continue to improve performance by focusing on optimizing load times for Signature Creation Units (SCU/TSE) data.

German Notification Management Enhancements​

Affected markets: 🇩🇪

Improved: Enhanced German notification management with several key improvements:

• ERIC PDF Download: Added ability to download PDF documents of sent notifications directly from ERIC system
• Purchase and Commisioning Date Auto-Fallback: Implemented fallback mechanism where PurchaseDate and CommissionDate automatically default to Queue StartMoment when not specified, while still allowing users to manually set custom dates when needed
• Enhanced Date Guidance: Improved helper text and UI clarity to better explain how dates are used and displayed throughout the system
• TSE Commission Date Handling: Better management of TSE commission dates with clearer communication to authorities regarding reused TSEs
• Tax ID Input Assistance: Added visual guidance with examples and explanatory text to help users correctly locate and format their Tax ID (Steuernummer) from official documents
• Data Issue Display: Enhanced visibility of different types of data issues including missing company data, subscriptions, and POS system information to help users identify and fix problems
• Manual Notification Trigger: Added ability for users to trigger notifications manually once data is prepared, bypassing the scheduled nightly process
• Operator Communication: Implemented feature to re-send emails that prompt operators to prepare and confirm their required notification data
• Knowledge Base Integration: Added KBA articles providing information about the management process and common error resolution instructions

Why it matters: Provides a solution for German notification management by reducing data entry errors, offering clearer guidance and troubleshooting support, enabling manual control over notification timing, and improving operator communication. These enhancements reduce support requests while ensuring faster compliance processing and better user experience.

PosSystem Pages Performance Improvements​

Affected markets: ALL

Improved: Significantly enhanced PosSystem page performance by migrating to React implementation, delivering much faster loading times and improved responsiveness. The migration also resolved UI/UX inconsistencies and enhanced navigation behavior.

Why it matters: Users experience faster page loads and smoother interactions when managing PosSystem configurations, reducing wait times and improving overall productivity in daily workflows.

Outlet Number Visibility Enhancement​

Affected markets: ALL

Improved: Added outlet number display to table views across CashBox, Queue, SignatureCreationUnit, and Helper pages. The system now clearly shows valid outlet numbers and highlights invalid outlet as errors, eliminating the need to open detail dialogs to identify outlet information.

Why it matters: Users can quickly identify outlet configurations directly from table views, reducing navigation time and improving workflow efficiency.
